Sure, Brady Quinn is Handsome, But is He Less Awful at Football than Derek Anderson?

Despite the fact that Derek Anderson has the single worst QB Rating of any NFL QB who has attempted at least 200 passes this season, James Walker isn't so sure about this whole Brady Quinn business.

The Brady Quinn era starts Thursday night for the Cleveland Browns. But why does it feel more like an experiment?

[Hmmm, I guess technically there is an experimental element here because Quinn is a relative unknown with respect to the NFL, but isn't that kind of the idea?? Did I already mention the part about Anderson being the worst QB in the NFL this season based on the numbers?]

Cleveland is 3-5, and although the organization said it's not quitting on its season, giving the football to an inexperienced quarterback with no career starts is risky.

[Again, true. But do you know what else is risky? Giving the football to DEREK ANDERSON. The dude is bad at football.]

"Knock on wood. I hope the guy doesn't fall on his face," [Browns Head Coach] Crennel said.

[Suck on that motivational gem, Lombardi! I bet in the off-season that Crennel is the guy that comes up with all of those "Teamwork" and "Determination" posters that have the inspiring images of people climbing mountains and achieving stuff.]
