starter at QB vs the Packers
-
Ok the news is Mangini will meet with DA and BQ tomorrow to announce the starter vs the Packers.. He says the guy who does not start against the Packers will start against the Lions the following week. BIG SHOCK.. Mangini is not going to tip his hand here in any way.. He wants to put these guys under as much pressure as possible and see who fades under the pressure or rises to the occasion... DID YOU GUYS EVER THINK IT WAS REALLY GOING TO BE ANY OTHER WAY! He's not going to name the starter until right before or right after the 3rd preseason game.. My preference would be BEFORE the preseason game. I think it's better for the team to know.
Ok I finally broke down and started a QB thread hahaha

Where do you hear this? You got link or something to prove this? If no link, then I can't accept this as fact. I'll take it with a grain of salt.

He talked about this plan at his presser today.
Sounds like he's gonna bring them in to his office tomorrow morning and flip a coin.
Then he'll announce the starter to the media before they get on the plane to GB.

As ive posted before i would be stunned if mangini started BQ in greenbay and DA in cleveland that would be bold...considering since detroit signed big mouth smith and whoever gets that game may have a slightly compromised setting to deal with that is if smith actually understands football...
Plus it appears DA has a slight edge and traditionally that means DA should start against greenbay and it gives BQ a big wakeup call of use it or lose it...

1:51:02 pm Browns coach Eric Mangini will speak to starting QB candidates Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson tomorrow about which one will open against the Packers. He has stated, however, that the other one will start the following week at home against Detroit

Well whoever starts against detroit will be at a slight disadvantage because detroit will know who to gameplan for. Hope the oline bullies smith a little bit though

Pray tell, how does DA have a "slight advantage?"

Anderson has been throwing better of lately. He's improving his accuracy on the shorter throws and is getting better throwing on the run. Anderson can be dangerous, if dealt the right cards. I do like Quinn's intangibles, though.

DA has an advantage? Since when?Quinn played better in the only scrimmage. Practice has been a wash, as every outlet reports over and over and over. The only comments from Mangini is that there is no separation between the two guys.
Scrimmage doesn't mean anything. The defense knew the hand signals for christ's sakes. How can you say that? Wait and judge in the preseason games.

If you consider the above statement to be true... The QB who starts and plays well vs Detoit would then have a big advantage then right? Not sure I buy that myself...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Wake me when we know who starts vs Minn.

Teams don't do much gameplanning in preseason. Teams are working on their stuff and don't really care much about who is going to play QB.
Just a FYI

That's why I said slight advantage because they don't do much. But if it didn't matter at all you have to wonder why mangini is waiting until the last possible second

Probably to prevent all the second guessing by the media and the fans.

I wonder what the statistics are for whoever the qb is if they start the first preseason game are the starters during the regular season. Anyone in here know?

It would be extremely high, but that doesn't apply in our case. Most teams don't have an outright competition at QB. Whoever starts at GB does not have an advantage, because the other guy will start against the Lions. As many have stated, Pre-Game 3 will provide the answers.
