The Arizona Cardinals cut Derek Anderson

The Cardinals have cut 28-year old QB Derek Anderson.  Anderson played in 12 games (9 starts) for the Cardinals last year and he completed 169 of 327 passes (51.7%) for 2,065 yards with 7 TD passes and 10 INTs (65.9 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 5 times for 25 yards (5.0 ypc) last year for the Cardinals.  The Cardinals were only 2-7 (22.2%) in games started at QB by Anderson last season.  Anderson has now played in 51 games (43 starts) in his first five years in the NFL and he has completed 756 for 1,436 passes (52.6%) for 9,148 yards with 53 TD passes and 55 INTs (68.8 QB Rating).  Anderson also carried the ball 76 times for 205 yards (2.7 ypc) with 5 TD runs in his NFL career.  Anderson is now 18-25 (41.9%) as a starting NFL QB and he has made it to 1 Pro Bowl.  That Pro Bowl seems to have been a mirage as he was awful for the Cardinals last year.  Some team will sign Anderson to be a backup but the Cardinals will be much better off without him.
