Give Derek Anderson credit. He got better. He put that "15 incompletions in 17 attempts" disaster behind him with a much more quarterback-like effort against Pittsburgh Sunday. It wasn't enough to take the Browns off this list for the first time this season, but there are indications that Cleveland has settled on their guy, no matter how many of his passes bounce off the grass.

When the San Diego Chargers have the ball in the red zone with plans to run the ball, everyone on the planet knows that LaDainian Tomlinson gets the football. Especially, say Chris Jenkins and Kevin Gemmell of the San Diego Union-Tribune, when Tomlinson is playing like the Pro Bowl-caliber back we're so used to seeing. But, on Monday night, instead of calling Tomlinson's number, Darren Sproles got the carry.
The odd part about that was, this wasn't another one of those nights for Tomlinson, not one of those games where every one of his rushing attempts seemed so futile and fruitless and belied his long-held stature as one of the game's truly great backs.

Steve Smith is frustrated and it's not just the 2-3 start by the Carolina Panthers. Some of the problem may be that the Panthers' Smith is now "the other Steve Smith" as Steve Smith of the Giants has four touchdowns and 525 yards receiving, dwarfing the numbers of his counterpart in Carolina. But, the brunt of the frustration comes from his role in the Carolina offense and the fact that he no longer want to be a decoy.
Yes, he won the game. However, there's no stopping Derek Anderson from showing up high on the list of quarterback controversies every week. Right there with him is the guy Anderson inexplicably beat Sunday despite only completing two of 17 passes -- Trent Edwards. After all, if you can't beat a quarterback who couldn't even complete 12 percent of his throws, who can you beat?

For the Cleveland Browns, Sunday was at least a respectable performance. Now it's time for them to build on that. But have the 0-4 Browns settled on a starting quarterback?
The Washington Redskins won a football game Sunday. Sometimes you hear people say getting a victory is all that matters -- I don't know if Redskins fans share that sentiment. For the second time this season, they won an incredibly ugly game at home against a winless team. The big story here was the play of the increasingly maligned Jason Campbell, the Redskins' fourth-year signal-caller.
Campbell turned the ball over four times. In the first half, he lost a fumble, threw two interceptions and saw three other series end in punts. The Redskins were showered with a cascade of boos from their distraught fans as they headed to halftime trailing the Bucs 10-0 -- the same Bucs who were 0-3 and had been outscored 91-41 on the season heading into the game.
A year ago, Matt Cassel got his chance to be an NFL starting quarterback when then-Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard blew up Tom Brady's knee. Cassel led the Patriots to 11 wins, and played well enough for the Chiefs to trade for him in the offseason.
Smash cut to Cassel tweaking his knee during Kansas City's third preseason game (God's sense of humor is underrated), which forced him to miss the first Sunday of the 2009 season. Any chances the Chiefs -- an outfit that won six times in their last 32 games -- had against the Ravens were out the window with Cassel on the bench.

Now that the preseason is over, Brennan's future is much cloudier. A rough camp saw Brennan get banged up quite a bit, and now he won't play at all in 2009.
LANDOVER, Md. -- If there's anything NFL coaches like to see from young players, it's an ability to learn from their mistakes. So when Redskins quarterback Colt Brennan -- one week after throwing an interception in Pittsburgh's red zone -- was picked off by New England's Jonathon Wilhite on the Patriots goal line, it had to set off some warning lights for Washington's staff.
It certainly did amongst the Redskins fans in FedEx Field. As Wilhite rumbled 99 yards for a New England score, the disgruntled Washington faithful let it all out.
