While you are at work today, imagine 30 cameras pointed at you capturing your every move. Then at the end of the day, imagine somebody posting a 5 second clip of you on youtube and saying you don't care about your job because you are having a light moment.

Hate his play. Hate his heated off-the-cuff reaction to a stupid repeat question he already answered a few seconds earlier. Don't hate the guy.
I understand your point, I don't want the guys knees broke, (maybe his fingers :D) but I will not excuse his play or behavior, simply because other QBs do theirs sooo much better. My distaste (better word homie? :)) for this guy has been festering for months now.

Now let me go back to my over reacting in peace. :D

I don't hate him. I hate his play, though I could say that about most of the guys on this roster, including many of the defensive starters.

I can understand that.

I'm by no means an Anderson fan, and hate the fact that he's starting at QB for the Cardinals; and find myself in a mindset where I'm wondering what Kelly Stouffer's doing these days and pondering whether he might be an upgrade. That in mind, I don't hate the guy personally. I'm sure he's a splendid guy off field.

We know what we have in Anderson and Hall. Why not just throw out Skelton and see if the potential is there for next year? Not asking for miracles, but if he can provide any spark, it will help inform our decisions going into the draft.

Let's see what we got for that draft pick. Anderson should not see the field except as an emergency QB. Skelton and Hall should finish out the season. It can't get any worse, right?

Can I also imagine that I am being paid millions of dollars, because you know, that makes all the BS you mentioned go down so much smoother.

Sure. Imagine yourself with a million bucks, just don't enjoy a light moment when things go bad. Millionaires can't do that!

At least he is in good spirits on the bench. :)

Every time I think of Anderson, I recall something Leinart said about him in the preseason. He called Anderson A.D.D. in a radio interview. Now, I think he said it in jest. But this was right around the time Leinart lashed out for losing his job, so I think that this may have been a non-PC way at taking a swipe at the guy's attention to detail.

Looking back at that comment, I wonder if Leinart was actually saying that this guy just doesn't have the mental capacity to be an NFL QB, nor is he willing to put in the work to overcome his deficiencies.

Lousy analogy. I work in Sales. Let's say that my Company is having a year like the Cardinals & my numbers look like DA's. While in a Sales Meeting to discuss our problems, my boss sees me yucking it up, even if it's for a few seconds. Guess what...............I'm in trouble my friend. Like him personally, hate him personally, it doesn't matter. He needs to go & NOW!!! I HATE, HATE, HATE watching him on the football field & that's all that matters.

If my analogy is lousy, yours is even worse. Anderson and Lutui weren't in a team meeting with Whiz looking at game film. They were on the bench, between series, talking, not "yucking it up." Did you even see the video?

My rational brain knows that I should not hate him, however if he trots out there past this year for this team as the QB, I will be unable to stop myself, at that point it will creep in.

I don't think you have to worry about DA being our starting QB next year, but if it happens, then I'll be happy to share with you whatever sharp object I find to hurt myself with.

I don't blame DA. I'd blame who put him on the field

The problem is Whis is right, he gives us the best chance to win. Well a slim chance is better than no chance. And on his pick, what is worse, Fitz was wide open when he tried to force that ball. Of course he would have missed Fitz by 10 feet, but he was open.
