Quinn outperforms Anderson in good win!

Brady Quinn got the start against the Titans in the third preseason game and did not disappoint. Quinn who went eleven for fifteen with 128 yards and led the team to two field goals and a touchdown. Quinn showed great pocket awareness, great accuracy, and has showed great mobility against the Titans.

Derek Anderson performed well to but failed to throw a touchdown pass. Anderson who went seven for eleven for 77 yards showed great arm strength but did not show great pocket awareness.

Now the question remains who will start and why. Here are ten things that you need to look at the quarterback position and my feelings on who should start at the quarterback position.
Pocket Awareness: Quinn
Arm Strength: Anderson
Accuracy: Quinn
Mobility: Quinn
Size: Anderson
Ability to make plays happen: Quinn
Two Minute Warning: Quinn
Ability to throw the deep ball: Anderson
Leadership: Quinn
Red Zone Offense: Quinn
Answer: Quinn

To solidify the starting position, Quinn has to perform this well in the last preseason game. If Quinn can play this well, come September 13 he will be the starter against the Vikings.

To keep the job, Quinn has to get into the red zone more often and punch it into the end zone more. One touchdown pass every three games is not going to get it done during the regular season.
