I’m not giving up on Derek Anderson yet, and hopefully the Browns coaching staff won’t either (after this week). Anderson has really been dealt an few unlucky hands so far this season, with nasty winds in Week 2 and a Baltimore match-up in Week 3… If Anderson can make it through this Ravens match-up, that Browns passing attack should be back on track against Cincy in Week 4. So it’s probably clear by now which QB I’d take in Week 3 if in this situation… I start J.T. O’Sullivan. I like this guy a lot, but I like his Week 3 match-up even better. The Lions defense is insanely bad, both against the run and the pass. Michael Turner ripped that unit up for 220 rushing yards and two scores in Week 1… and in Week 2, Aaron Rodgers destroyed that Lions secondary throwing for 328 yards and 3TDs. O’Sullivan should have well over 250 yards passing on Sunday with at least a couple scores. Frank Gore should also be in for a HUGE outing.

I can’t go J.T. O’Sullivan over Derek Anderson. I worry about this Ravens match-up, but one has to think that Anderson is still the safer option. I could be wrong, and I know Smitty is really high on O’Sullivan, but I just don’t feel it quite yet with the 49er. Somehow I see Anderson still getting roughly 200 yards passing and I’m going to hope for 2TD passes, as I think the Browns will be down and gunning late in the game.
