Cleveland Plain Dealer: Browns HC Crennel said today that Brady Quinn is still his starting quarterback and that he's not on a
short leash. "It's not an issue because he's the quarterback,''
said Crennel. "We like the things he's shown us. We need to help
him more going down the stretch. If we can do that, we might be
able to win a game.'' Crennel reiterated that he benched Quinn in
the third quarter of Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Texans because of
some misreads and because of his fractured right index finger.
"Because of some misreads and my knowledge of the finger
situation, I decided to make the change,'' said Crennel. "If Derek Anderson had provided a spark, Brady Quinn would still be the
starting quarterback.'' He said he told Quinn he had not lost his
job, but that Quinn perhaps didn't fully grasp it because of his
frustration.
