Browns Name Their Starting QB for Sunday and Eric Wedge Gets the Boot
Mangini names Anderson starter Sunday
Eric Mangini has named Derek Anderson the Browns’ starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Bengals.
Anderson replaced Brady Quinn at halftime of last week’s loss in Baltimore and finished the game, completing 11-of-19 passes for 92 yards.
Anderson has been here before. He lost a 2007 training camp battle for the starting job to Charlie Frye but was named the starter before Week Two - coincidentally, a home game against the Bengals.
Anderson threw for 328 yards and 5 touchdowns in that game, which marked the beginning of a string of seven straight home wins in what became a 10-win season for the Browns and a Pro Bowl season for Anderson, who ended up throwing for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns.
He now takes over an offense that’s scored just one touchdown in its first three games.
