Somebody please, make it stop!
Just in case you were tempted to think that the Browns season couldn’t get any worse in week 3, here it is. See that picture? That’s Derek Anderson. Remember him? Sure you do. And look what he’s wearing. A helmet. You know why? He played today. No joke. What happened to Brady Quinn? Mangini benched him in favor of Anderson. Yeah, you read that right.

The competition is over. Brady Quinn is the starting QB for the Cleveland Browns. He will start Sunday’s game against the Vikings.
This decision was supposed to be kept a secret. But Terrell Owens, of all people, “leaked” this information on Twitter.
OK, I don’t really think he let this slip. I think he was just looking to make news. His tweet congratulated Brady Quinn for winning the job. That doesn’t necessarily mean T.O. heard about Coach Mangini’s decision. Judging by the preseason, Quinn was likely going to be the starter. Owens made an “educated” guess (how ironic) and made it look like he was spilling the beans.
The T.O. tweet alone does not make this official, obviously. But Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Mary Kay Cabot confirms that Quinn is the starter.

Apparently, the list of things I wanted to see in the Browns’ final preseason game was vastly different than that of head coach Eric Mangini.
I wanted to see a clear starting QB emerge. Brett Ratliff got the start. Neither Brady Quinn nor Derek Anderson played.
I wanted to see a focused Braylon Edwards playing like a legitimate #1 WR. He too did not play.
I wanted to see a solid running game. The team’s leading rusher was Chris Jennings.
I wanted to see Shaun Rogers on the field. He wasn’t even in uniform.

The Browns play their final preseason game tonight against Chicago. This will be the last game before the regular season kicks off against Minnesota on the 13th. So what would I like to see in this game?
One QB emerge as the clear starter. This QB battle has gone on way too long. Either Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson has to step up and prove they have the ability to lead this team. Right now, I believe Quinn is potentially the better QB. But he needs to remove all doubt and show everyone what he can do.

After a surprising 2007 season in which the Browns finished 10-6 and narrowly missed the playoffs, many were expecting the team to build off of that. Some were predicting that Cleveland would be a serious threat in the playoffs. Even Browns fans had reason to be (cautiously) optimistic.
But a combination of poor coaching, poor front office management, poor on-field performance, and injuries resulted in an abysmal 2008 season.

Meet your new starting quarterback, Browns fans.
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised at anything this year. Derek Anderson, despite playing badly, started the first 8 games of the season. Then Romeo Crennel finally gives Brady Quinn the starting job. Quinn starts 3 games before having his season ended by a broken finger. Back comes Anderson. Then this week, in a game that should not have been this close, he has a chance to lead a game winning drive in the final 2 minutes. But he goes down. Welcome Ken Dorsey.

Foxsports.com is reporting that Brady Quinn will miss the rest of the season due to the injury to his finger. Apparently what was thought to be minor turned out to be a bigger problem than first expected.
