QB competition in Cleveland?
Provided that both Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson are on the Browns' roster when the team begins training camp in July, both QBs will fight it out for the opportunity to start.
Hindsight is 20-20, but many projected a disappointing season for Anderson. The Browns re-signed Anderson to a three-year contract last off-season.
Anderson started the season, but he was benched mid-way through it. After Quinn was injured, Anderson became the starter. After Anderson got hurt, Ken Dorsey became the starter and so on.
The per game stats for the two quarterbacks were almost identical.
''I don't have a projected starter at this point,'' Mangini said at a breakfast meeting with the media. ''We'll have an open competition where they'll both get a chance to establish that they'll be the starter.''Quinn, the Ohio-born and raised first-round pick, is definitely the fan favorite over Anderson.
