Mangini names Anderson starter over Quinn


Browns coach Eric Mangini has named Derek Anderson his starter for Sunday against Cincinnati.

Anderson replaced an ineffective Brady Quinn last week against Baltimore and completed 11 of 19 passes for 92 yards, with no touchdowns and three interceptions. Mangini saw some positives in Anderson’s performance.

Braylon gets a stay of execution from one of my rosters, then. I may even try to trade for him.

I too see this as a positive for Edwards.

One thing about Anderson...he loves to go down field as opposed to Quinn.

When handed a situation like he was last week, one can't knock him so much for his 3 picks. he had to try to do something. this will be a truer test and I feel he will come through for them.

This doesn't surprise really surprise me, but I'm a little puzzled. I thought from the beginning that Quinn was going to start on the basis of building him up for the future. Doesn't do a whole lot for him when he can't start games consistently. I realize that its only week 4 and the Browns aren't going to throw in the towel yet for the season, but it makes sense to me to continue giving reps to the QB of the future for your franchise.

Totally agree Skedar.

a couple years ago I was laughing with Cleveland coming up after they just traded their week 1 starter and inserted some guy named Derrek Anderson....all he did was come in and light up Cincy and score the upset. While I doubt history repeats itself, I really don't like the similarity....

I feel Anderson is a better Qb than Brady Quinn.

From what we've seen so far I have to agree with you RC.

I don't watch tape and see all the preseason games, but every thing I was able to decipher from those who did was that Brady should get the job but likely won't. Right now this team needs bernie to strap them on!

Mangini has already lost the the locker room. If they salvage 3 wins this year it will be because Anderson knows how to win in Cleveland and how to handle adversity. Worse yet, I dont think Quinn has much trade value.

Mangini is desperately trying to salvage his HC status with switching to Anderson, i believe this is the correct move as Quinn has shown nothing but is a day late and a dollar short to save Mangini's job from eventually getting the axe.
