Can BRADY QUINN come back and win?

  Please point out where I said Quinn had a "terrible" game?  I said that he had a less than stellar game, and I felt that he missed on a few throws he should've made.  I'm sorry if that doesn't sit well with you, but so much for offering what I thought was a fair analysis of Brady's night.  Also, if Lindell had made that FG, it would be an entirely different conversation today.

That's on the Cleveland defense, not Quinn. 

And again, Quinn's stat line might not be "up there" this week, but it's the little intangibles that a stat line doesn't tell you that make a good QB.

Quinn this Quinn that...tell you what, I'm a lot happier with Henne than if we had Quinn...Henne has a monster arm, and when he's ready, you'll see the Henne/Ginn combo that will terrify opposing defenses....I don't think Quinn really has much on his deep ball....It's not Penny bad, but still not very accurate.

Did you watch the game?  How many balls did Cleveland receivers drop?  How many balls did Brady Quinn throw away to avoid a sack?  Being a good Qb isn't just about statistics, its about making smart decsions and being a good leader on and off the field.

BTW, Brady Quinn broke his index finger during the game on Monday night and was still able to lead Cleveland to a victory in the 2 minute offense....he is going to play with the broken finger this Sunday.

....he is going to play with the broken finger this Sunday. 

I hope he does, as most players respect a teammate more when they know he'll play through the pain...but I'm hearing rumors that he may sit down and let DA take it this week.

Playing with a broken index finger on your throwing hand is not just a question of playing through the pain. Depending on what "broken" is used to mean and on which part of the finger is broken, it might simply not be possible for him to hold the ball well enough and get a good enough spiral on it.

In this case, though, considering he finished the game fine and reportedly is only "slightly sore right now" and that it's "not affecting him", I doubt the finger is really broken. More likely a (small) fracture.

According the the story, Quinn will try to play:

Not going too well for Quinn today. Glad I put my money on Houston (and since I parlayed that bet with the Jets, both money lines (!) and not spreads, I'm extra happy - yeah, sorry, but the line on the Jets was simply too good to ignore).
