QB Circus Is Back In Town, Ravens Rip Browns 34-3

Browns Backers,  

sorry - " wretched, poor, useless, or pitiful "  

Bradford, Tebow or McCoy?

If you just got through watching the 34-3 massacre in Baltimore, you cannot help but wonder. Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson looked and played like Dumb and Dumber. They simply are not cutting it.

With four interceptions tossed by both of them it would not surprise me to see third-stringer, Brett Ratliff play. The Browns are now officially the new Detroit Lions of 2009.  

Once again, the Browns were completely blown out in front of our very eyes. It’s getting to the point where fans will no longer care, or they will walk away from this sad excuse for a team.

The Browns are the poster boy for confusion and dysfunction, and when Quinn was yanked for the equally inept and anemic Derek Anderson, it was all over.

Quinn would finish 6-for-8 for 34 yards and one INT.  

Derek Anderson didn't do much better in relieving Quinn by tossing three INT and just missing a fourth pick.

The Browns have completely fumbled away this season and may have set themselves back ANOTHER five years in their handling of the QB spot.  

This team cannot score, pass, or defend. Cribbs is a marked man, Edwards is getting double-teamed, and the defense gets run over and treated like a construction cone.

The sad and cold realty is that yanking Quinn, who was not helped at all by his offensive line or Daboll's play-calling, for an even less effective Derek Anderson doesn't make the offensive issues go away. This can only damage the team's fragile chemistry and defeated locker room.  

The sooner the Browns find a QB and stick with him, the better they will be. They will not have to worry about hoping to score a TD, or have unwanted headlines such as fining one of your own players $1,701 for not paying the hotel bill for a $3 bottle of water.   

I've never been a fan in the hiring of Mangini from the start. I have also always felt that Lerner is a clueless and soccer-loving owner. Both of them dropped the ball in not naming a starter during training camp. Instead they put this team and its fickle and impatient, yet passionate fan base thru the wringer with their incompetence and lack of football savvy.    

The Browns still have the Bengals and Steelers twice and a potentially embarrassing Monday night game with the Ravens up in Cleveland.

Unfortunately, this season is already lost before it began. This will be another sad year for the Cleveland Browns.

Later,
