A starting QB and the AFC's top punt returner going down in the same game? That's what happened in the Cleveland Browns' matchup with Super Bowl champion Giants late Monday night. After taking a big hit from Giants DE Osi Umenyiora, Derek Anderson was motionless for a few seconds before being helped from the field. Anderson suffered both a hand injury, which Head Coach Romeo Crennel doesn't appear to be too concerned about - he is more concerned with the severity of the concussion Anderson suffered.
He is already confirmed as being out of the Browns' third pre-season game, providing Brady Quinn with his first opportunity to show the Browns' Brass what he is capable of - leading your team on 69 and 63 yard scoring drives is a good way of starting this, and it will be interesting to see if this can continue; despite Crennel's protestations at the end of the season that there was a clear #1 in Cleveland, this situation could create another QB dilemma in the NFL, following Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, Arizona and Atlanta.
