Now THERE's a goal for your pro football team, MNBrownsFan…"keep them both and we can salvage a 7-9 record."

Forgive me, but…WHAT??!!

That's what you think of these QBs? W.o.w. In my view, you have TWO qbs, you have NONE. As long as both these guys are on the team, the position remains unsettled and the town is split. Why are we doing this? Get Anderson's butt out of here on the next train.

I think the 0-line is solid…and that both qb's are equally good in their own right. They fit 2 different schemes. Brady is a pro style qb while DA is a verticle offense qb. The big factor is Braylen…if he can catch the darn ball. I have to believe that this is still Brady's game to lose, but Iwould not be heart broken if DA was the leader.

As a Browns fan from the early 60's I can't argue with what Elizabeth has to say, but to Mitch's point, Charlie Weis has not had a winning year since Brady left. And quite frankly, Quinn hasn't made anyone stand up and cheer…… so get a grip Mitch. Anderson has a good and bad track record… but he has a track record, and with a real clown for a coach in Crennel…. I hope the Browns keep them both and we can salvage at least a 7-9 season out of this one.

Couple things:

1) Brady's agent is a buffoon. Should've had him in camp 2 years ago, with none of this escalator-clause crap. It just scares management and gives them an excuse to not play him.

2) Didn't Mangini get this job, partly based on his declaration to Lerner that he "can win with Brady Quinn at QB" ?

3) What is the ridiculous fascination with a quarterback who has a losing record as a starter, was cut by Baltimore, a 6th-round pick known for his college & pro interceptions and poor decision-making? Please. Please tell me why the Browns need to see more of that, more of B.Q. holding a clipboard, with the unanswered question: "Hmm, I wonder if Brady could lead this team to wins? I wonder." Guess we'll never know, because the geniuses running this team don't WANT to know and will never give him the chance. 'Cause we want our future to rest on D.A.'s arm, right? Right? Little louder….RIGHT?

I'm not trying to be negative, but when was the last time that the quarterback on day one of the regular season played the whole docket in one piece? I'm not confident that the O-line will hold up, or that a change to the backup will be made at some point in the season because one isn't effective enough.
I don't see Lerner making the same kinds of "financial decisions" that are made elsewhere, at least not this season.
