It's official: Quinn to start Thursday
-
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.

I just heard it on WKNR that RAC 'n ROLLS met with DA earlier and BQ minutes ago to inform him he's starting.Yeah, my brother was listening to Trivesano and they didn't believe the first caller. Then they were scrambling to get on ESPN.com to see if it was up yet.
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.

Of course I'll be watching dipshit. Although now that the Browns have officially given up on the season, it won't be terribly exciting, as I don't own a pink #10.

He's starting for one reason....70,000 fans chanting his name toward the end of the game. RAC has no choice , whether he buys into or not, if he wants any chance of saving his job. If Brady does well and wins at least 5 of the last 8, RAC might be around next year. Anything other, and he'll be gone as well.

Dude, considering what brought you here and the way you've been puffing you chest out, I felt this was a legit question.

Fits Cleveland to a T
