Quinn and Anderson Need to Make Closing Statements For QB Job Tonight

Browns Backers,    

statement—" a communication or declaration in speech or writing, setting forth facts, particulars, etc. "   

You cannot help but wonder how Jack McCoy from Law and Order would prosecute the Browns for their handling or mishandling of this quarterback competition drama. Because this is as far from pro bono as it gets. 

But even the renowned district attorney would advise both Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn that they must provide a strong closing statement on their behalf as to why they should be the 2009 Cleveland Browns quarterback.

With Cleveland Browns Stadium serving as the courtoom and the fans acting as the deciding jury. It will be up to Eric Mangini to be a decisive and non-partial judge.    

As it stands both Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson have not emerged as the front-runner for the gig, and even though the hometown hero, Brady Quinn, with his "intangibles and leadership" has not managed to pull away from the former Pro Bowler fluke gone bad, and all around area outcast, Mr Anderson.   

Tonight's game will clarify who the starter WILL be, not SHOULD be. 

There is no doubt that Quinn is the overwhelming favorite to be the starter. If there is one thing that Browns Backers can all agree on is that it is Brady's time NOW!

My major concern if I'm a Quinnbot is the fact that for all of his "leadership and field presence" that have Dawgs drooling over his every move, why has he not already been named the starter over Derek Anderson?   

And for Derek Anderson, he really needs this game just to pull even in the eyes of many Browns fans, for the fact that he will NEVER surpass Brady on even his best day simply for the fact that he is DA which generally means Disaster Area.

As I stated in my last column, Lions; Is Derek Anderson "The Man?"">http://bleacherreport.com/articles/242237-da-strikes-back-in-round-3-vs-lions-is-anderson-the-man , I mentioned that The Brady Bunch would dismiss DA's performance vs DET, but what exactly has Quinn done to lock this down? 

Aside from leading some good drives and being a Edwards drop and Fraley penalty away from strengthening his case, not a whole lot, but to both QB's, Tennessee is not Detroit that is obvious and this game will serve as a excellent test and unbiased litmus as to who will start in two weeks. 

Quinn may be the overwhelming favorite to win, and Anderson may be on death row, but both must present a strong and overwhelming argument to convince the jury. 

Enjoy The Game,

Dawgfather.
