Rock, paper, scissors...starting QB!

So this is how bad things are in Cleveland. There's a three-man race for the starting QB job, with Charlie Frye, Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn. Head coach Romeo Crennel has a decision to make. It's not like the Browns are going to be very good, and it's a preseason game, so it's not that big of a deal right now. But the preseason will be important in determining who will start. Frye started 13 games last year, and played hurt, Anderson came off the bench. Quinn was a little bitch and held out the first 16 practices, when he could have come into camp and put a strangleold on the job, but he chose to wait for more money. Punk.

So Romeo, who's going to start the first preseason game?

He's going to flip a coin to pick between Frye and Anderson. "That's the fairest way," Crennel said.

Really Romeo? I thought the fairest way would be to figure out who has had the better camp so far. There is no way the QB race is DEAD EVEN between two guys who pretty much suck anyways. It's not that hard, you pick the lesser of two evils. And if you're really that torn, why not just start Quinn? He's missed all that time in camp, why not have him make for some lost time against real competition? Brady has to be pissed that he's not even in the running; if he has any real interest in playing football, he has to be thinking, "I waited for more money, and now I have to play behind these two scrubs?" I'm sure Brady immediately regrets his decision to holdout.

Romeo was a defensive guru in New England. Phil Savage had a good draft in taking Joe Thomas and Quinn, and he has some talent with Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow and Jamal Lewis, but I feel like there's not much time left for Romeo. I remember Dennis Green in Arizona a few years ago, thoroughly convinced at points during the season that both Josh McCown (or Cade McNown, I always confuse them) and John Navarre were the answers for the team at quarterback. I hope this isn't that situation all over again.
