The Cleveland Browns will let Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson battle it out for the starting job during this season’s training camp and preseason.  Quinn probably has the edge as he’s the Golden Boy of the future for the Browns.  Quinn doesn’t have near the arm strength of Anderson but he does seem to be way smarter as far as decision making goes.  The offense played pretty well last season in Quinn’s first two starts last season.  Derek Anderson had a rough year in 2008.  He definately looks the part as he is a big guy who can really rifle the football.  But too often it seems that Anderson tries to fit the ball into too many tight spots often resulting in turnovers.  Anderson was a Pro-Bowler in 2007 so the potential is there for a rebound.  Both Anderson and Quinn suffered from an overall poor performance out of the receiving corps which has undergone a lot of changes…..most for the better heading into the 2009 season.  Brett Ratliff will be the #3 guy for the Browns after coming over from the Jets in the Mark Sanchez trade on draft day.  Ratliff is a Eric Mangini favorite based on how well he played last season.  He could move up to the #2 spot if the Browns either trade Quinn or Anderson or if one of them get hurt.  Richard Bartel is the #4 QB for the Browns who will likely try to hide him on the practice squad in 2009.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE 2009 SEASON:  C+
