  • That he has 18 starts doesnt matter, he was still chosen as starting QB then traded for a sixth rounder after starting for one half of football.

    Just found it odd.

    It was indeed odd, London.

    Romeo flipped a coin that year (literally) to decide who would start the season ... Anderson or Frye. That was the year we drafted Brady Quinn, but he held out and wasn't ready. Frye had started the year before and got the start in the opener against the Steelers. He shit the bed and looked lost, Anderson replaced him at halftime.

    They traded Frye because they were going forward with Anderson and Quinn was the "obvious" future. The next week Anderson put up 51 points and 5 TD passes against a Bengal team that won the division the year before and the roof blew off in Browns QB controversy history.
