For all ya’ll who don’t know who Derek Anderson is, read on.

The first time Derek Anderson set foot on a football field, it was against the Pittsburgh Steelers in what was already a lost season for the Cleveland Browns last year. He showed then signs of brilliance, making you wonder why the Browns didn’t give the guy the starting spot then and there.

Well, he has the starting job in Cleveland this 2007-08 NFL football season and guess what, they’re winning. Heck, Derek Anderson is now one of the top-ranked quarterbacks in the league, leading his Browns in pursuit of the AFC North title.

Yep, the Browns have a chance of winning the AFC North with a decent 3-3 record. They are only a half-game back behind division rivals Pittsburgh Steelers and as long as Anderson keeps on throwing those long balls, the Browns might find their way on top.

This week, the Browns travel to Edward Jones Dome to play the struggling St. Louis Rams. The Rams are still looking for their first win of the season but now, they have a somewhat slight glimmer of hope with the returning Steven Jackson.

STILL, the Browns are not fazed and they’re claiming Jackson’s return will not be enough to stop them. I agree.

Steven Jackson hasn’t made a single trip to the endzone all year. And during the times he does play, the St. Louis Rams get pounded anyway with offensive linemen who can’t protect shit.

Derek Anderson ranks No.12 among the top quarterbacks in the league today. Behind only to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and in front of, get this, Seattle Seahawks leader Matt Hasselbeck. Yes, that’s how good Anderson is this season and expect the Browns to give the Rams their eight loss of the season. Ouch.
