Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini has named Derek Anderson the starting quarterback for this Sunday's against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Anderson replaced Brady Quinn during Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and went 11-for-19 for 92 yards and 3 interceptions.
The 6-6, 230-pound signal-caller from Oregon State started 27 games for the Browns between 2006-08 before losing this summer's quarterback competition to Quinn, who had completed 60.8% of his passes, but for just 400 yards. Quinn had also been sacked 10 times in 84 attempts.
For his career, Anderson has completed 54.7% of his passes for 6,287 yards, 38 touchdowns and 37 interceptions, for a passer rating of 73.7.
By making the switch to Anderson, one wonders whether or not Quinn, the team's first-round pick in 2007, has a future with the team.
