We've all lived through the horror that has been the past three weeks.  Underlying throughout each game was the sub-par performance of Browns quarterback Derek Anderson, with the second lowest QB Ratio so far this season in the NFL, 43.5  As a point of reference, an average quarterback should have around 83.0 as their rating.  Anderson's last rating in a single game over 83.0 was against the Jets in Week 14 of the 2007 season

Last year's surprise player has been in a funk that reaches back to Week 15 of last season.  The bad weather was partially to blame last year, but this year he's played in two games with beautiful weather.  Surprisingly, his best statistical week this year was the wind-swept Week 2 loss to the Steelers.  Realistically, Anderson's short leash could come to an end this week if under performs against the Bengals.  Last season's Week 1 debacle against the Steelers showed that head coach Romeo Crennel is not afraid to pull a quarterback mid-game. 

So what are they saying out there?

ESPN (James Walker):  Making the switch to Quinn is the right thing to do.

Sporting News (Bill Bender): Anderson will be benched within a week.

Baltimore Sun (Mike Preston):  Savage should have told Crennel to make a choice:  Anderon's job, or his. 

Akron Beacon Journal (George Thomas):   Quinn keeps on working like he's the starter.

CBS Sportsline (Pete Prisco):  Brady Quinn time is nearing. 

Who do you think should be the quarterback?  Comment!
