Browns coach Eric Mangini wants to see quarterbacks in preseason games before choosing starter

Mangini not decided on Quinn or Anderson

BEREA, Ohio — Browns coach Eric Mangini says he will not decide on Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson as Cleveland’s starting quarterback until late in the preseason.

Mangini said before Thursday’s voluntary practice that he will take his time evaluating the two quarterbacks and wants to see how they play in preseason games before making his choice.

Anderson was a Pro Bowl selection in 2007, but lost his job midway through last season to Quinn, the former Notre Dame star and first-round draft pick. Both Quinn (finger) and Anderson (knee) suffered season-ending injuries last season, when the Browns offense failed to score a touchdown in the club’s final six games. Cleveland finished 4-12 and replaced coach Romeo Crennel with Mangini.
