I have to disagree with people saying Quinn hasnt been solid. It's more or less an attempt to solidify the team under 1 QB.

Quinn looked sharp with the plays that were called and what the defense gave him versus the Jets. You know D.A. likes to force throws in there and as Scott Graef said above – DA's throws put his receivers in bad positions to get yards after the catch.

Apologies guys, I know it's Steve. You ever think one thing and say another? It happens with typing too. Don't ask me why the heck I was thinking of the former Olympic skater.

At any rate, Quinn hasn't looked good, Scott. He's looked far from it. I'll give him credit for taking plenty of time after practice to work on his issues, but right now, Anderson is your quarterback and he's earned it.

Sorry Scott, but that is just flat out untrue. Brady Quinn has not looked good. He has looked disappointing. His accuracy issues have been noted by all observers even the coaching staff. While Anderson has been throwing lasers right on target.

Not one practice has Quinn graded out even close to Anderson. Not when Brady worked with the ones against the twos, not when he worked with the twos against the twos, the twos against the ones. If this were a heavy weight fight it would have been a stopped by TKO and if it were a little league game probably more something you would understand it would have been stopped by the mercy rule.

There is far more reason to be concerned if Quinn would play well enough as a back up if Anderson was injured than there is reason to think he might be good enough to challenge Anderson as the starter.

I know there is great affection by many fans for Brady Quinn and as you stand in the crowd of pre-teen girls standing Brady Brady you obviously have found it difficult wearing your Quinn jersey to not be biased.

But Anderson has had a great camp and Quinn has had a poor one. And it is very obvious to everyone that your boy Brady is still in the learning phase and needs another year holding the clipboard and Anderson is ready to take the Browns on a run at the playoffs.

This is Anderson's team and if you are a Browns fans than you like many members of the media who also were blinded by the Brady Quinn smile need to get on board and support the teams starting QB and try and enjoy the ride to the playoffs even grudgingly since your boy will not be the QB.

Maybe it's 'Eric' when 'Steve' is just skating by?
