By way of the outstanding Mistake by the Lake Sporting Times blog, we learn that Derek Anderson’s craptastic response to RAC’s encouraging words ranks as the worst passing performance in the eight-year history of the “new” Browns, as measured by DPAR (Defense-adjusted Points Above Replacement).

           Yr Wk Opp   C/A Yds TD Int   DPAR

Anderson 2006 16  TB 10/27 123  0   4  -17.6

Garcia   2004  2 DAL  8/27  71  0   3  -15.5

Pederson 2000  8 PIT  9/20  61  0   3  -13.9

Dilfer   2005  7 DET 10/19  73  0   3  -13.8

Frye     2006 14 CIN 18/29 186  0   4  -10.9

It’s worth noting that three of these five performances have occurred in the Crennel era, all by different quarterbacks. Also conspicuous by their absence: Spergeon Wynn and Tim Couch.
