We have a QB (BQ)

I think another tell tale sign Quinn locked it up is that after his night was over the went straight to Bartel.The sign that he locked it up is that after he threw that TD pass, the next QB to come in was him. At that point (late in the 3rd,) what would be expected would be for a backup to come in or for DA (the other "starter" candidate) to come in if the competition is still on.
But Mangini put Quinn back in, giving him a few more reps.....and the other "starter candidate" wasn't seen again.
That was the point where it became clear as a bell that this is now Quinn's team.
Mangini can announce it on Monday or not - it doesn't matter. He just announced it to the world with that move.
EDIT: Just to tie things up here....Mangini is NOT going to carry this competition into the 4th preseason game, where starters for the other team won't even play. There is nothing he can learn from that.
The absolute last chance he had to see DA playing with meaningful reps was the drive late in the 3rd after Quinn's TD pass......and he put Quinn back in, throwing all the "equal rep" crap overboard all of a sudden.
This is Quinn's team now. It was his team the very second Mangini put him back in for that series.

Agreed. It's over and it's time to start backing Quinn as the Browns starting QB when it is announced. I wish that TD had come against the Titans 1st team though.

While im sure bq locked the starting job tonight the actual competition is far from over brady quinn must now lead this team in a strong fashion and if he fails to do so and or gets hurt anderson will be hungry and waiting for the opportunity...all these people saying get rid of the loser should look closely at our 3rd string qb ratty...he is nowhere close to ready to be number 2....

ya no doubt, i didn't expect BQ to come back in after that TD. i figured it was a situational sub, to see if he could take advantage of a big turnover.
the odd thing is i thought mangini said they would get equal playing time this game, as I don't expect him to play the 1s alot next game. also odd was that ratliff wasn't in at all, and hes supposed to be our #3. I think ratliff as the #3 was secured, and he made up his mind with DA and wanted to see more of BQ. and see if Bartell was worth holding on to if they trade DA.

Gotta wonder if the situation was to see if either of the QBs could sustain 2 TDs in a row... hasn't happened in a while.

prediction alert: here is what lumburgh will say. "whatever, bq only did well against there 2nd string defense and still overthrew heiden in the endzone. he is garbage, and anderson would have done better. anderson didn't get enough reps. blah blah blah." brady won the game and the starting job. end of story.

You're really grasping there, pal.
God bless ya!

Quinn locked this thing up. He's truly our starter. As for Anderson, he's done. I'm so happy for Quinn.

where's the lumtrain now?

can we refrain from taunting the trolls?
"we?"
"we?!?!"
"WE?!?!?!?!"
The only fcuking thing you ever do on this board is drop in every once in a while and slap someone on the hand with a ruler for replying to or whining about Luvbergh.
I'm sorry. I forgot....you also post every once in a while to just tell someone that they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground (while offering nothing of actual substance yourself.)
So when it comes to this board and you.....there is no fcuking "we."

after a 7 page thread full of a buncha skirt wearing fairies who are all butt-hurt that their internets dont suit them, you'd think you'd learn.
but no, not here. my apologies to those of you that are cool and have some reason, but most of you are completely fcuking stupid. the only common sense i see here is directly related to football, and most of you can't get that right.
so fcuk off...if there was anything worth commenting on....i would. but a mental midget such as yourself doesn't realize im here to read browns news. so when i open any thread and see someone else being a complete ass, forcing me to shift thru all the idiotic posts from those such as yourself that cannnot see fit to shut the fcuk up, then i throw in my jabs. one troll post i can deal with, but the 10 that come after from those unable to control their stupidity do get a bit annoying.
so, make yourself feel better internet tough guy. type all those big words that you think i care about. fcuking tool.....

D&S brings up an interesting point and something that Stan/Z keep pining for: dazzling QB play.
Quinn still has a ton of road to travel before anyone can say he's "the guy". What's clear to me at this point is that he's currently our BEST guy.
However, his game isn't DA's. Its not as exciting (read: vertical) based on what we've seen so far. It looks to be deliberate. That's not a bad thing if (the big "if") he can sustain drives and put points on the board. I'd also wonder what a running game would do for either QB.

Choco, do us all a favor and contribute some thoughts on tonight's game, or some football related topic instead of making sure we all know who the Lum-pussies are, huh?

That's what he said last week too, and it seemed as though Anderson got more reps.Personally, I'm beginning to think those kinds of statements from Mangini are more for the fans (and the media feeding frenzy) than anything else.
He knows what he needs to know and I'm guessing he's known it for awhile.
i don't think so, i think his reference to game 2 was that DA would get the same amount as BQ got in game 1. hence getting equal playing time between the 2 games.

Anderson has played well in two straight games, though, and that's worth mentioning. I have to wonder if the phones are ringing in Berea, because if somebody wants to trade for him, right now is the time, with 15 more days before the opener.I'm kind of skeptical that a trade would happen this late in the process, but I'm more confident now that DA will be competing for a starting job next year.
Probably not here and most likely as an underdog, but he should get a shot. He deserves one.

Those of us who have signed up for Browns texts received two tonight.
One pregame announcing Quinn as the starter.
And on postgame with a photo.

It seems like the Browns actions are doing the talking.

Not grasping at all. If DA had been in there and got a TD then put back in, I'd wonder the same thing. Neither QB has proven they can lead 2 TD drives back to back.
That said, BQ finally showed a little something and DA didn't do all that poorly. The Browns may have a serviceable QB situation.
-
One place DA will not be going as a starter is Washington. Jason Campbell had a good game. having said that, what is wrong with having DA as the backup ? I would rather have DA lead the team if Quinn goes down that Brett Ratliff, he still has miles to go.
-
fair point, as long as we make sure we find a reliable no 2.
