Browns stick with QB Anderson against Bengals

COMMENT: Who should start at QB for the Browns?

Associated Press

Wednesday, September 24, 2008

BEREA — Derek Anderson has kept his starting quarterback job with Cleveland for now.

Anderson, who was ineffective during the Browns' three-game losing streak, will start Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Coach Romeo Crennel considered benching Anderson for popular second-year backup Brady Quinn, who has played in only one game as a pro.

Crennel refused to give reasons for sticking with Anderson.

"I'm not getting into the what ifs, the whens, the wheres, how long or anything like that about this decision," Crennel said. "The decision is made and that's what it's going to be."

Anderson made the Pro Bowl last season but has been in a prolonged slump dating to the final weeks of 2008. He's thrown two touchdown passes and five interceptions this season, and owns the league's second-worst quarterback rating.

First off, you are all ignorant regis philbin, notre dame fans. Quinn was not THAT impressive in college. Secondly if they thought Quinn was so great, why sign Derek Anderson to the large off season deal?? Maybe it is with the Browns Brass you should have the problem with. Thirdly, derek Anderson should be the starter, he earned it. He had a great season last season. braylon Edwards looks pityful. I have seen the Browns two primetime games, and he had 6 drops, just in those two games.

Start Quinn DA was nothing but a fluke even Jim Brown said to start Quinn vs the bengals. last time I checked THE GREATEST PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL knows just a little more abot football than the guy who has been coaching for 25 years and couldn’t land a head coaching job until now. Romeo get your fat a*s away from the buffet table and start coaching or get out!

Start Quinn. DA choked the last 4 or 5 games last year and has continued that into this year. Above all, Fat Romeo needs to go away either way. He can’t even manage a mediocre two minute drill. The team has talent - the coaches suck.

IT’S DISTURBING TO ME THAT THE BROWNS HAVE FALLEN YET AGAIN. SO FAST AND SO HARD I FOR ONE AM SO TIRED OF SUFFERING THROUGH ANOTHER MISERABLE SEASON. I THOUGHT LAST YEAR WAS THE FACE OF CHANGE . NOW ALL I SEE IS THE SAME OLD S**T.MAYBE ANDERSON WAS A FLASH IN THE PAN ANOTHER TIM COUCH YOU MIGHT SAY. WE ALSO NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT OTHER POSITIONS ARE SCREWING US JUST THE SAME . EVERYONE NEEDS TO STEP UP OR STEP OUT

Quinn does not suck and all you guys who say’s he does are just a bunch of idiots that wish you could be as good looking and as tough as he is, the one who really needs to go is Romeo, I think he did good last year by keeping Quinn out so Quinn could get more experience, but now he’s ready and the coach needs to go, leave Anderson for a bench warmer and let Brady get the job done, GO BROWNS…..

Quinn had a pretty bad O-Line his final year @ ND. Even with this he was able to throw for 3426 yds, 37 TDs, and 7 INTs. That same year the “heisman” winner, Troy Smith, had the trophy gift wrapped to him because he was on a STACKED OSU. I remember another heisman winner in the same situation, undeserving, Eric Crouch. Smith threw for 2542 yds, 30 TDs, and 6 INTs. Quinn was sacked 31 times that season, which shows that he can get hit. The Browns need to go the best player they got. Go with Quinn

3 bad in a row is enough. Just ask Tressel. The Browns need to do something different. It can’t be worse with Quinn. Crennel is in panic mode. You can tell by some of the dumb calls that the Browns’ brain trust is lost. After 50 years of rooting for the Browns, I’m fed up with this organization. Start Quinn or be wrong!

Hey Cade , how is that quinn can bench 225 lbs 22 times , more than most lineman in the combine, gonna get crushed? last time i checked da got knocked out in preseason. The kid can handle him self. DA said himself his confidence is shaken. thats enough for me.pull him and let quinn show you how its done. PUT IN THE KID

If the bengals come out like they did against the giants they win big but if the d cant stop lewis and harrison they will lose and for the browns receivers well just let edwards do what edwards does best drop balls and winslow will lead the team. I think this will be a good game all the way until the end. SO GO DAWGS!!

You gotta start Anderson, Quinn has been overrated since birth and with the o-line and receivers in there now he’ll get nothing but killed. On second thought, put Brady in, it would be nice to see him get stomped in the ground the way LSU did him in his final with the Irish, maybe that will help to end some of the “Brady Quinn is the savior” hype.

If DA can not get it going againt the Bungles then DA, Romeo and Savage should all be gone, DA because he sucks, Romeo because he makes such great decisions and Savage because he is responable for both!

Maybe Romeo hasn’t heard about how much success rookie QBs have against the Bengals.Or—-maybe he just thinks the Bengals are just the boost Anderson needs.

Start Brsdy Quinn! Why have him come in to relieve Anderson when Quinn has to try to catch up to the Bungles after Anderson puts the Browns behind.

Wow, hang the 5th round draft choice. Anderson was correct when he said 1st rounders play, and often bust. It’s abusiness, and you don’t let the big money sit. Everyone who isn’t an Irish fan knows Quinn just doesn’t have it. Like in previous comments on the Browns, can you say Tim Couch? It seems that Crennel is placing his own wellfare above that of the team and fans. What can you expect from a QB when the OL, receivers, and coaches suck?
