I honestly think Anderson is the best of the bunch and will win the training camp battle. Has a rocket for an arm but may throw too many INTs. Hes a gunslinger. I dont think Frye is very good at all and I doubt Quinn gets much work this year until maybe week 15 and on.

Anderson:

13 games, 3000 yds, 14 tds, 16 ints

I liked what I saw from Anderson in the game against the Chiefs last year. Guy looks like a scrapper...maybe a bigger, hetero Jeff Garcia ( ).Seriously, from what I've heard and seen, he has a big arm and he's a fiery competitor. Players will tend to gravitate towards guys like him. If he can win the respect of his teammates and show enough in practice to his coaches, he has a legit chance to be the starter this year.They say he doesn't have great mobility...ask the Chiefs about that. If he can keep his head in games and make better decisions he could be a great value pick!Frye's days may be numbered in Cleveland and Quinn probably won't see meaningful playing time until next year.Anderson - 3100/16/17 passing and 24/100/2 rushing

The Browns are going to be giving a top 5 selection to the Cowboys for Quinn. Ouch.

Frye is not the answer. But will get 3 starts.

Anderson is limited, but they will give him a shot to prove he is not the answer either.

Quinn will be thrown to the fire and look terrible... but that won't be all of his fault.

He could prove a fine QB, but Cleveland may not help him achieve that. Think Carr or Couch.

I am just not big on Cleveland much in 07. I really hate that too, because I am not a Cowboy fan and I don't want Darren McFadden to wind up in Dallas. But that is another discussion.

I think that Brady Quinn is a definite hold-out possibility and that will hamper his progress and could keep him off the field this year. However, as I stated before I am not a big Cleveland fan for 07 so I think that they will be losing often and that may hasten Quinn into the lineup.

I too lean to favoring Anderson over Frye, but not by a huge margin. These two could duke it out early on to see who starts the season number one. It is also possible that both could be given an opportunity to play before the Browns throw in the towel in 07 and look to the future.

I know that these are three guys that I will most likely not have on my team this year as there are too many other options to guess on a guy that even when you get the right one, you don't get much for your successful prediction.

I think that Frye will play the least, Andserson will hold down the fort till the Browns are out of it and Quinn will play the last portion of the year.

Charlie Frye 30 completions 58 attempts (51.7%) 353 yards (6.5 ypa) 1 TD and 3 ints

Derek Anderson 130 comps 240 atts (54.2%) 1550 yards (6.46 ypa) 7 TDs and 8 ints

Brady Quinn 68 completions 120 atts (56.7%) 804 yards (6.7 ypa) 5 TDs and 7 ints

Ask any Oregon State fan about his mobility. It stinks. That run against the Chiefs was the longest run the guy has ever had. It was a fluke. He has a beautiful arm though. If he can make better decisions that what he generally did at Oregon State then he has the chance to succeed. If he throws tons of INT's then he will ride the pine.

I do like DA more than the other two, but I am biased. I want DA to win the job and do well.

If he is the starter for the year I could see him with 3000/20/16

I have to toot my own horn here a little. I knew Anderson was a good QB just by watching him last year. I didnt realize he was this good however and of course when he was available on waivers I passed.
