Quinn replaces Anderson as Browns quarterback

got this over at the nfl network.looks like anderson's out,and the brady era
has begun in cleveland.

BEREA, Ohio -- Quarterback Derek Anderson has been benched by the Cleveland Browns, who will start popular backup Brady Quinn on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos.


The switch was confirmed Monday by the team, just hours after coach Romeo Crennel said he had no plans to make a change.

Anderson, who has been inconsistent this season, threw a costly interception that was returned for a touchdown in the final minutes of Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The pick prompted Browns fans to begin chants of "Brady! Brady!" for Quinn, the former Notre Dame star who has thrown just eight passes in two seasons.

Yep it's true, i just heard on espn that Quinn is the starter now. I'm interested to see how he'll do. I think he has what it takes to be a good NFL quarterback.

Anderson got the Brunell treatment from the Cleveland fans, but let's face it, Anderson's 08 was nowhere near as good as Brunell's 06. This switch is about 5 weeks too late.

As usual the QB takes the brunt of the blame when things are going bad. So when is Braylon Edwards going to get benched?

Seriously, if Edwards doesn't drop the ball that hits him in the hands, in full stride, and behind the defense - perhaps DA is still QB.

I guess it's time for Brady to get a real gig instead of posing in gay magazines :)

i think that this may be romeo's last season as browns coach if the ship keeps sinking.
braylon edwards has dropped a lot of passes this year and last year,and winslow has got mental problems.

While perhaps Anderson is taking too much blame, he has been terrible. I mean a stinking putrid awful. I never believed in this Browns team - I know a lot of us didn't - but there's no question that DA's inability to recreate last season's success is a big reason for their offensive struggles this year.

Guess his deal with the devil was only good through 13 games or so.

This is a smart move for the Browns. Anderson is overrated. Yes, Edwards dropped a lot of passes, but Edwards didn't help himself with stupid decisions. Time to move on to the future and Quinn is the future.

*WAS* overrated. Now, he's quite properly rated.
