As a brief follow up to my post from 16 October regarding a win for the Cleveland Browns despite the terrible performance of their quarterback, Derek Anderson, I bring you a statistic courtesy of ESPN:
"If every pass a quarterback attempts falls to the ground incomplete, his QB rating is 39.6. Derek Anderson's quarterback rating is 36.2."
Basically, I could get a better quarterback rating than Derek Anderson at the moment, simply by throwing the ball away the moment I took the snap, and this is a former Pro Bowler we're talking about (Anderson, not me).
The suspicion that backup and former starter Brady Quinn has either rubbed coach Eric Mangini up the wrong way, or that the Browns don't want to pay him whatever bonus he gets for playing a certain number of minutes this season grows and grows. Either that or Derek Anderson's got incriminating photos of members of the coaching staff.
Quinn saw some game time at the end of the recent defeat at Chicago, but speculation about whether or not he will start has fallen by the wayside in light of off-field upheavals in Cleveland this week.
