You'll soon see what we've got in Brady Quinn.
It seems an odd time to m
ake a quarterback change, given that Derek Anderson actually played a decent game on Sunday. Also, we've got a Thursday night game this week, which gives Quinn a short schedule to prepare as the starter; seems like it would make more sense to start him the next week, with 10 days to prepare.
Former Browns QB Trent Dilfer, speaking on "SportsCenter," expressed the opinion that the decision to bench Anderson was quasi-buffoonish, saying that it was made because the fans wanted it. Whether that's the real reason or not, I cannot say for sure, but I hope we can all agree that if that's the reason, it's a bad reason to make a quarterback change.
"There are so many layers of dysfunction that this decision represents," Dilfer said. "It shows a total lack of discretion and wisdom at the very highest level of the Cleveland Brown organization."
All that said, the question remains: Is Quinn the guy? I have no idea, but we're going to start finding out on Thursday. What we do know is that Anderson has been spotty at best this year. Maybe Quinn can do better. I sure hope so.

Hey Steve,
Brady Quinn played pretty well last night in his first start -- he might just be the QB of the future for the Browns... or shall we say, "the quarterback of the present?"
I'd say that Trent Dilfer might not be the foremost authority on playing QB in the NFL, and his comments might reflect a grudge he feels against the Browns franchise based on his one year in Cleveland as the QB (a rather unsuccessful year, I might add).
Why not build for next year with Brady Quinn? The Brownies aren't going to make the playoffs this season anyway, so let's build toward next year and Quinn is the QB of our future.
Quinn did look good for his first start. I'm just wondering what the heck is wrong with Braylon Edwards. He was incredible last year and this year he is terrible. He must be cycling with his college team, that school up north.
