Browns will still have Anderson start at quarterback

The Cleveland Browns Coach Eric Mangini was asked on Monday if he planned to bench Derek Anderson, the NFL’s lowest-rated quarterback, the Coach’s answer was a definite “no”. The answer just seemed incomprehensible after another humiliating home loss.

The Browns lost 31-3 to the Green Bay Packers and Anderson went 12 of 29 for 99 yards against the Packers, completing just 23 of 70 passes in the past three games and now having an overall 40.6 rating. However, Mangini just has the feeling that Anderson can give his team the better chance to win than Brady Quinn or anyone else wearing Browns jersey.

Anderson is grateful for Mangini’s support, but knows he must improve or he will lose his job. With so many fans being frustrated by consecutive losses, whoever to be the starter just has to do something to improve the team.
