Brady, Brady, Brady....
With flashbulbs popping all around the stadium, Quinn threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes in his first NFL exhibition game and looked better than any Cleveland quarterback in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions on Saturday night.
The former Notre Dame star, who isn't expected to begin the season as Cleveland's starter but could become a late addition to the club's ongoing competition between Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson, entered with the Browns down 23-7.

As No. 10 jogged onto the field with 9:20 remaining, Cleveland fans welcomed Quinn with a roaring ovation, and many of them stayed on their feet after Quinn hit Chris Barclay on a screen pass that went for 30 yards on his first play.
Quinn completed five passes in a row before his first miss. On second-and-3 at Detroit's 4, he calmly rolled to his right and drilled a TD pass to rookie Efrem Hill, who got open near the sideline.
The next time Cleveland got the ball, Quinn drove the Browns 92 yards in 1:52, hitting Jerome Harrison with a 6-yard TD pass with 18 seconds left.
Quinn finished 13-of-20 — with three spikes to stop the clock — for 155 yards. (A.P. wire)

yeah, but what about Cleveland's offensive line?
Yeah...it's kind of pathetic that the most exciting thing to talk about in preseason is a rookie quarterback who is able to toss a couple of TD's against a bunch of 3rd stringers/ players who probably won't even be on a team in a couple of weeks...oh well, such is the life of a Brown's fan!
