Outlook

Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson will battle in training camp for the starting job. Even if Quinn wins the job, he'll spend part of the season looking over his shoulder. This offense may be one of the NFL's worst and lacks playmakers.

Browns | Quinn unable to stretch the field in Week 10 (Tue Nov 17, 10:26 AM) - ESPN.com reports Cleveland Browns QB Brady Quinn became just the fourth quarterback in the last 20 seasons to throw 30 or more passes in a game for fewer than 100 yards with no touchdowns and multiple interceptions. Quinn was 13-for-31 for 99 yards with two interceptions in the game.

Our View: This is the name of the game with Brady Quinn. Coming out of Notre Dame some pro scouts had him as the lowest rated quarterback when it came to accuracy over 15 yards downfield. Quinn is not only unable to stretch the field, but his is unwilling to challenge a defense. A quarterback has to take some chances with the football, and have trust in his arm. It looks like Brady Quinn does not have that much confidence in himself.

Our View: What a way to welcome back Quinn to the starting lineup! A Monday night matchup against the Ravens is tough for any quarterback to handle, let alone Brady Quinn. We're not expecting much from Quinn this week, and we'll have to see if he's opened up his game more in future week. Starting out this season Quinn was much too conservative, and he couldn't bring the Browns back when they were playing catch up.

2008 Game Summaries

Week 10 - The Browns made a major change this week by going with Quinn this week as their starter and he made a very solid debut. He took what the defense gave him making most of this throws underneath the Broncos coverage on shorter routes or on checkdowns and not trying to force the ball deep. A departure from how the Browns ran their offense with QB Derek Anderson as the starter. Quinn's passes seemed more accurate, especially the shorter one's then those of Anderson's. He had no turnovers in the game and made good decisions even when under pressure and used his second and third options often in the game. Quinn's first touchdown came in the first quarter when he found TE Kellen Winslow over the middle for a five yard score. He would go back to Winslow in the third quarter on 16 yard strike for his second touchdown of the game.

Week 11 - Quinn didn't come out quite as sharp in this game as he failed to capitalize on three Buffalo interceptions in the first quarter, and only lead the team to six points off the turnovers. He faced a lot more pressure then he did last week, which was his first career start. The Bills usually don't blitz a lot but, did a lot more then usual in this game and played man-to-man mostly throughout the game. Quinn did heat up in the second quarter as he lead the Browns on a 95 yard touchdown drive and hooked up with WR Braylon Edwards three times for 48 yards on that drive. He finished the half six for 15 for 78 yards but had no turnovers, and did a good job of protecting the ball. Quinn didn't much in the second half but, did make some plays late in the game to get the Browns into field goal range. He didn't make any costly mistakes despite pretty good pressure by the Bills. He also added 18 yards rushing off of four carries.

Week 12 - Quinn had a rough game, and was ultimately benched. He completed only eight of 18 passes but his receivers really did not help him out early in the game, and it seemed to get into his head. He threw two interceptions on back to back passing attempts, but the second really was not his fault as Braylon Edwards did not break well out of his slant route.
