Derek Anderson vs Brady Quinn.

Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini has finally announced who his starting Quarterback is going to be, and the winner is: Brady Quinn.
Is anybody surprised by this decision? Everyone has known who the starting Quarterback is going to be since last season. Last year the Browns struggled with Anderson at the helm. The Browns also have millions of dollars and jobs tied up in Quinn. Of course he's gonna get a chance to play.
Not that Mangini had much of a choice in this, I'm sure he was pretty much pressured into this decision from the organization who wants to see the pretty boy face of the franchise from Ohio sling the ball around.
There isn't a good choice to make anyway, both Quarterbacks have done absolutely nothing to prove that they should lead the Browns into the future. Anderson has struggled after having a promising 2007 season. Quinn hasn't completed more than half of his passes and only has two touchdowns.
Mangini waited this long to announce his Quarterback because he said it gave his team a competitive advantage. What? Who does this help? Not the starting Quarterback who isn't sure if the team has his back. Not the players who don't know who is going to be the Quarterback, and it certainly doesn't help them against apposing teams because both Quarterbacks are similar pocket passers that aren't that good anyway.
While were at it lets rethink this Mangenious nickname. He burst onto the scene in 2006 coaching the Jets to a 10-6 record. He has sense gone 13-19 including a horrendous 2007 season where the Jets went 4-12. Hardly worthy of the genius moniker.
Maybe Goodell can put the nickname on a 1 year suspension with a possibility of reinstatement if the Browns win 8 games this year.
Now I'm done.
