"Come on down, Derek Anderson, have we got a deal for you?

The job's yours. You can thank your quick release and our tortured plan that demoted Brady Quinn in a wink of an eye after promoting him.

If you're wondering, there is an "i" in Chansi Stuckey, but in a good way.

Get to know him. Your season could depend on it.

In the meantime, your somewhat deep threat and quasi No. 1 receiver is Mohamed Massaquoi, who has been thrilling NFL crowds since last week.

Good luck. We're all counting on you.

And so another coaching regime turns to Anderson for Plan B salvage work.

Quinn lasted all of 10 quarters under coach Eric Mangini. The only person alive who might consider that a long-term commitment is Charlie Frye, whose drive-by divorce in 2007 took all of two quarters.

Anderson had a present and a future with the Browns then. Playmakers were not the spotted owl in 2007 that they are in Anderson's huddle these days, so it will be harder to impress.

With the trade of Braylon Edwards, Anderson has even less ammunition to shoot down the notion that next year's starting QB isn't currently on the roster."
