Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that Browns quarterback Brady Quinn is done for the year.
Per Glazer, doctors determined on Tuesday that Quinn’s broken finger has gotten worse after he tried to play on Sunday against the Texans.
Quinn also suffered damage to tendons in the finger as a result of playing with the injury. Doctors, including Dr. James Andrews, were concerned that the tendon would detach from the bone if Quinn didn’t shut it down.
So Derek Anderson will return to the starting lineup.
And since Anderson won’t be feeling the pressure of having Quinn breathing down his neck or the weight of high expectations, Anderson will probably play well down the stretch. The question then will be whether G.M. Phil Savage (if he doesn’t get fired) realizes that Anderson won’t be likely to repeat that performance if he receives a $5 million bonus in March and returns in 2009 as the opening-day starter.

This is the Browns–if DA plays well down the stretch, expect a big bonus and a new contract extension!

Well, Quinn sure didn’t show much promise, unless you put a lot of stake in really short passes, so I doubt DA could lose any more effectively than Quinn. Tough question next year though- “Which QB do we want to lose with, Anderson or Quinn?”

I wonder if the same people that were calling Romo weak minded for not playing with his broken finger think the same thing now. Boy, that would have done Dallas a lot of good… Romo out for the year, Brook Bollinger for the rest of the year. Quinn will be the starter next year.

So, I wonder if Brady’s still POed at RAC for yanking him, or if he’ll apologize since Crennel was actually right (for a change).

jjared, the Cowboys are gonna realize real soon that they should have benched Tony Romo.
they’d be better off with Bollinger.
everyone seems to have forgotten the fact that he can’t win a playoff game.
it’ll come back to bite them later in the season.
they’ll be lucky to even make the playoffs.
overrated

Kind of early to say Quinn sucks though he was not great in Big games at Notre Dame.
However , the Browns do suck….they would have ruined Dan Marino.
Sadly I enjoy the Browns’ misery.

it’s rather incredible how low the IQ is for many of PFT’s readership.
Quinn has dropped a lot of passes and given up on many of the routes he’s run right?
my eyes rolled out of my head.
Ted Ginn. I’ll just let that one slide away because just “wow”.
Anyways, Brady Quinn will be just fine once his team decides to play football again. All I can ask for is a guy to hit his receivers in the numbers and make plays. He’s done both and the rest is up to the guys on the other end. I like how the “experts” weigh in on a QB’s performance based on less than 3 games under center with a team that is grossly under-performing.

oh and if anyone wants to talk about short passes, let’s talk to Matt Cassel. Look at his YAC numbers then compare them to his pct of downfield completions. Barely 25%. So if the Browns WR’s could catch passes then what?
Stick to channel surfing and The O’Reilly Factor little guy

Well, what kind of medical staff do we have in cleveland!?! Letting quinn play and mess up his hand even worse is only the latest fubar to come out of the cleveland clinic. I mean who the hell is calling the shots? Staph infections abound for years. YEARS!!!! wtf!?! einstein says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. we are insane. i will be checking into arkum until next august ;(

They very well could be letting the clueless meatheads that infest PFT Planet call the shots in Cleveland, dingomandingo. You’re right about that staph business though. Clean that shit up! Hose the whole place down with boiliing alcohol or something wtf.

Damn that sucks. I was looking forward to seeing James Harrison break him in half this season. Oh well, always next year.
I’m sure after he has surgery he’ll get a staph infection.

The people that say Quinn played well, but his teammates sucked are the same people that wouldn’t allow Anderson the same excuse. If Edwards was able to catch the ball, Anderson would still be the starter, and the Browns would still be in playoff contention. There are too many extenuating circumstances to really judge either player this season. I pity the poor SOB who takes over this mess next year.
