Think Quinn, Anderson Before Sanchez
April 7th, 2009Vacation Man of BSPN.com fielded e-mails from fans asking about the Bucs. One question dealt with the possibility of the Bucs trading for one of the two Cleveland quarterbacks, Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson.
Vacation Man didn’t totally rule out the suggestion, hinting that maybe the Bucs would trade up if they thought they could grab USC quarterback Mark Sanchez.
I think that’s something the Bucs at least would explore if Cleveland really does put one of those two quarterbacks on the trade block. I think either Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson would be nice competition for Luke McCown. The Bucs have made it clear they still plan to bring in another quarterback. There’s not much left in free agency. Not sure if they would take Josh Freeman at No. 19 because he might be a year away from being ready to start. I could see them making an attempt to trade up for Mark Sanchez, but that could be costly. Of all the scenarios still out there, I like trading for Anderson or Quinn the best.
Though Joe would love for the Bucs to somehow get Sanchez, he’d raise a glass in honor of Bucs general manager Mark Dominik if he did acquire Quinn, who Sgt. Winslow totally raved about in an interview last week on Sirius NFL Radio.
But if Dominik and Raheem The Dream are just looking for someone to compete against Bucs quarterback Luke McCown and aren’t now looking for a quarterback of the future, there are certainly more cost effective alternatives out there than trading up for Sanchez or trading for former first round pick Quinn.
A third round choice for Matt Leinart perhaps?

Personally I’ll take Luke McCown over any of the above mentioned QB’s. People only look at the “name” and the chances those players have been given. Chucky didn’t give Luke an “honest” shot and when Luke gets it THEN we can talk about the other “potentials” available.
