Considering how little information has come out of Berea so far, I thought this was a nice tid-bit.

Quinn getting first-team reps


BEREA, Ohio -- Eric Mangini warns not to read too much into it, but the Cleveland Browns coach says Brady Quinn has a slight edge in the team's starting quarterback competition against former Pro Bowler Derek Anderson.


Quinn and Anderson participated in this week's voluntary minicamp, which started Tuesday and ends Thursday.
Mangini said he is being balanced with the reps of his quarterbacks, but Quinn's performance so far this offseason has helped him earn an early advantage over Anderson.


"Brady will get the first reps today," Mangini said. "He started with the first reps on Wednesday, and that's because he's done a really outstanding job in the offseason program. Not that Derek hasn't done well, but [Quinn] gets the first reps."
Quinn and Anderson have been together with the Browns since 2007, but this is the first time both players have competed actively for the starting job.


Quinn became Cleveland's first-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2007, but a lengthy contract holdout opened the door for Anderson to win the job and have a Pro Bowl season.


Quinn finally saw his first action in 2008 after Anderson struggled. But Quinn was inconsistent in three starts before suffering a season-ending finger injury.


The Browns also traded for former New York Jets quarterback Brett Ratliff in April. But Mangini said his focus this offseason is on Quinn and Anderson competing for the starting job.

He should be the starter, Derek Anderson is terrible.

I'm also pulling for Quinn because I think he can be a good QB in the NFL....Okay and i like Notre Dame players so sue me!

Well the should stop trying to trade Quinn and let him start at QB. He has been with the browns 3 years now. The spent #1 over all on him in the draft and paid him millions over the past few years to seat on the bench. Now they are trying to trade him. If they trade him. Then there goes a big investment down the drain. Browns are already horrible. So why not take your chances with guy you have invested so much into over the past few years and give him chance to prove himself for once as the starter.
