Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn, that is the question that will need to be answered in the near future. After the Browns benched Charlie Frye and ultimately traded him, it was Derek Anderson's opportunity to shine in 2007.
No doubt about it, Anderson had a breakout year in 2007. In 16 games, Anderson threw for almost 3800 yards. He also added in 29 touchdowns. Anderson was also sacked only 14 times in 2007. In one game at quarterback, Charlie Frye was sacked five times. More impressive, Anderson won 10 games as Browns quarterback, just missing out on the playoffs.
The Browns also have Brady Quinn, who is a year younger than Anderson. Quinn was drafted late in the first round of the 2007 draft. Quinn was hyped as the leader, the face of the franchise.
This leaves Cleveland in a bit of a pickle. Do you go with the future in Quinn, or do you go with the current starter, Anderson. Odds are, the Browns will go with the hot hand as well they should. Anderson has a chance to really be a star in the NFL, even if it's not in Cleveland.
The Browns open up the 2008 regular season at home against a tough Dallas Cowboys team. No doubt, a win during kickoff weekend would be a huge boost for these Browns. At home, the Browns will face Houston, Indianapolis and New York (Giants). On the road, the Browns will face Philly, Washington and Tennessee.

- Starter quarterback in 2008: Derek Anderson
