Sometimes its tough to be a Brown's fan

in case you haven't read or seen, the Brown's have lost both Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson for the rest of the season. This leaves Ken Dorsey as the long QB on the roster, with Joshua Cribbs backing him up, and i'm sure we'll pick somebody up this week.

Now i've been rooting for Quinn to play QB all season, nothing against Derek Anderson the person, but i think the management got this wrong. Whats worse is that the fans always take out their anger on the wrong person. It is not Derek Anderson's fault that the Browns have sucked this season. Just like when Tim Couch was the QB, even though he struggled, he didn't deserve the blame.

In another disappointing moment in Brown's fans history, the Browns cheered Derek Anderson's injury on Sunday. I know that the fans who cheered do not reflect the opinions of most of the fan-base, and i know that almost every team in the league would have the same result (some Bronco fans would have cheered a Jake Plummer injury) but i hate the fact that this is what Brown's fans are known for.

From James Walker of ESPN:

In an ugly scene Sunday, some Browns fans cheered when Anderson was injured.

"They were cheering the fact that I was hurt," Anderson said, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "They don't like me. That's well known."

"Sometimes" it's tough to be a Brown's fan? Only for the last 20 years or so. ;)

Major bummer about the QB situation. I was pulling for Brady as well, but wouldn't have cheered when Anderson went down. Injuries are the worst part of the NFL. I wish the Browns well, and I hope Romeo can pull things together.
