It's official: Quinn to start Thursday
-
didn't think it was going to happen this week, but thought if the Steelers win tonight, and the team struggles again against a terrible denver defense, they'd have the long week to get Quinn in there.

Now the Kid can get some real practice for next season. Maybe this will save RACs giant fat ass, although I hope not.

Crennel: Anderson’s our QB ‘as of right now’

Browns coach Romeo Crennel didn’t exactly give QB Derek Anderson a vote of confidence during Monday’s press conference.
When asked if Anderson was still Crennel’s starting quarterback, the Browns coach replied, “Yes, as of right now.”
Anderson has struggled to follow up on a strong first season as a starter in the NFL, one after which the Browns rewarded the quarterback with a three-year, $24 million contract, including $14.5 million in guarantees.
In Sunday’s 37-27 loss to the Ravens, Anderson was 17 of 33 passing for 219 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, which was returned for a game-clinching touchdown by Terrell Suggs. When Anderson left the field, Browns fans were screaming “Bra-dy! Bra-dy!” for popular backup Brady Quinn.
“It’s deflating when they run the ball in for a touchdown,” Crennel said following Sunday’s game. “It’s deflating when they throw the ball over your head. It’s deflating when you don’t make a catch in the open. It’s deflating when you lose a game.”
After throwing for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns as the Browns finished 10-6 in 2007, Anderson has throw for 1,454 yards and nine touchdowns as the Browns have compiled a 3-5 record this season.
The Browns traded back into the first round of the 2007 draft to select Quinn with the No. 22 overall pick. While Browns fans have been clamoring for Quinn to see some action behind center, the second-year quarterback has yet to hit the field this season.

I just heard it on WKNR that RAC 'n ROLLS met with DA earlier and BQ minutes ago to inform him he's starting.

from rotoworld:
ESPN reports that Brady Quinn will start at quarterback for the Browns Thursday against the Broncos.
Trey Wingo relayed the news at the end of ESPN's Primetime; we're not sure where it came from. It's a short week to prepare, but Quinn gets the easiest matchup possible against Denver. He'll do well. Quinn can put up solid QB 1/2 stats the next few weeks (Denver, Buffalo, Houston), but his schedule gets much harder after that: Indy, Tennessee, and Philly. Sage Rosenfels should be a better pickup over the next month, but not this week.

Thank god the DA era is coming to an end. About 3 or 4 games to late. But better late than never.
Gee, think that panicy pick 6 botched screen pass sealed the deal?

Talk about giving the kid a short time to prepare.In my opinion, I believe this speaks to how prepared the staff thinks he is. The rumors of him eating shit in practice must've been false, right?
Also means DEN has little time to prepare for a QB they know very little about.

Wow. Great news. Our organization isnt brain-dead. I hope he does well (obviously).

Or just how incompetent the staff really is. Either way I like it, and I just got even more excited for Thursday!\ said:

Either way, we get to see what we have in Quinn. A few games too late, but in the whole scheme of things that isn't too long.

story is now confirmed on ESPN. The BRAY-DEE chants worked!
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.
