More proof that you must be decisive in the NFL...no half steppin.
Derek Anderson should have continued to be the unquestioned starter and got every single snap in practice with the 1s.
Instead, they split snaps and neither guy was ready and the progress that team was making got flushed down the toilet.
Quinn only had one game that he played well for Cleveland and it happened after having a completely ineffective previous game and after his good game (can't remember who the opponent was) he laid an egg the next week. Iirc he has two sub 100 yard games with a 250 game in the middle.

In 2009 he had a 4 game span where he went:
Ravens - 13 for 31 for 99 yards and 2 INTs.
Lions - 21 for 33 for 304 yards and 4 TDs.
Bengals - 15 for 34 for 100 yards and a rushing TD.
Chargers - 25 for 45 for 271 yards and 3 TDs.
The Ravens defense is ****ing tough.....especially back then....and that was his first start after 6 game span of sitting on the bench. So his bad game in that stretch was against the Bengals.....who won the AFC North that year.
