Week 11 Injury Status and Other News
He was not listed on Friday's official injury report. [Wed Nov 18, 8:00 PM] Brady Quinn ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Brady Quinn was fined $10,000 for his low hit on Baltimore Ravens LB Terrell Suggs in Week 10.Opinion (from The Upgrade/Downgrade/Waiver Report): Don't bother picking up Brady Quinn as a potential No.2 fantasy QB this year. The Browns offense is horribly predictable and predictably horrible with the young QB under center. The Ravens defense had no problem anticipating his three-step drops and batting his passes down at the line of scrimmage multiple times. The opposing defense also played the young Browns' receivers tight, anticipating the endless variety of short screen passes and tackling the wideouts as soon as they touched the football. When Quinn finally did attempt some deep passes, he either severely overthrew his teammates or could not keep the ball in bounds. You might have a better chance picking up the University of Houston's Casey Keenum or Ole Miss' Jevan Sneed and hope there's a glitch in your online league management system than adding Quinn to your roster.

Game Summaries
Week 1 vs MIN - Brady Quinn was able to move the ball against the Minnesota defense, some areas of his play are cause for concern. Though the Vikings' Cover-2 scheme is designed to force opposing offenses to checkdown rather than throw downfield, Quinn seemed unwilling to consider the downfield zones on most snaps. A tendency to checkdown has been an issue for Quinn in the past and he'll need to show more aggressiveness to take full advantage of his offensive weapons. Quinn was inaccurate on the few downfield passes he did attempt, either due to miscommunication on fade/post choice routes with Braylon Edwards or sideline go routes with Josh Cribbs. On the bright side, he did show some elusiveness in the pocket and a strong arm when throwing on the run. It's only Week 1, but another couple of weeks of checkdowns and inaccuracies and Quinn may bring Derek Anderson back into the conversation.Week 2 at DEN - Quinn approaches the game with an ultra-conservative manner, and that was reflected by his play on the field. He refused to challenge the defense consistently down the field until the game was out of hand. Quinn spent most of his time trying to work in passes over the middle of the field, with limited success. In the first half, he had plenty of time to throw. So much in fact, he would work through all of his progressions, only to robotically check down time after time. The Browns are trying to set up their receivers to pick up yardage after the catch, but when a defense is tackling soundly those short passes remain short gains. In the second half as the Browns offense continued to flounder, the Broncos turned up the heat on defense. Quinn did force feed the ball to Braylon Edwards (sometimes deep), and even got in a 24-yard pass to his big receiver while Champ Bailey was covering him. It was a fade stop, and Edwards was able to outjump Bailey for the ball on the sidelines. If they had tried more plays like that, perhaps they would've been more competitive on Sunday. The Browns originally wanted to get Jamal Lewis involved, but had to scrap that plan as the game went on. Quinn finally started taking more shots downfield in the fourth quarter, but by then it was too late.
Week 3 at BAL - Though a running game that continues to struggle didn't help, Quinn was unable to move the Browns offense again this week. The Browns seemed to game plan around short drops and short passes early to counter an aggressive Raven defense. Though he completed six of eight passes and was effective getting the ball to his hot receivers during the first half, head coach Eric Mangini benched Quinn at the start of the second half. Despite three interceptions by Derek Anderson in the second half, Quinn stayed on the sideline for the remainder of the game.
Week 8 at CHI - Quinn came in late in the fourth quarter and completed one pass to Mohammed Massaquoi.
Week 10 vs BAL - The Browns seemed afraid to open up the offense for Quinn, and his play showed why. He was mainly limited to short throws, and he was way off when he did try to throw downfield. His accuracy was good on short throws to hot read and quick throws, but it got worse as the game went on, and at the end of the game, he couldn't even keep his deep desperation throws in bounds. Quinn did move well, and he even threw a good block on a Josh Cribbs wildcat carry, but he is clearly not an NFL starting quality QB.
