Job Post: Cleveland Browns quarterback.

Summary: Due to the unfortunate situations of losing both Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson to season-ending injuries the past two weeks and the fact that Roger Goodell won’t allow us to forfeit the rest of our games to get this dreadful season over with, we the Cleveland Browns are currently looking for a quarterback to insure us of four more losses in ’08.

Job Responsibilities: Turning around and handing the ball to Jamal Lewis; Throwing incomplete passes to Braylon Edwards (you just have to throw the ball in his direction and Edwards will take care of the rest; Watching the defense squander leads; Squandering leads yourself by providing costly turnovers.

Job Perks: A front row seat to whenever Kellen Winslow Jr. speaks; You can improvise without worrying about what Romeo Crennel will say to you because neither you nor him will be around next year; Weekly Profanity-lased e-mails from Phil Savage.

Please respond by Thursday so you can have at least one day of practice under your belt (that should be enough) before Sunday’s game.

Thank You,

The Cleveland Browns.

FOX Sports’ columnist Jay Glazer is reporting that Cleveland Browns’ quarterback Brady Quinn is out for the season with a broken finger.

Team sources said that Quinn and the team made the decision together Tuesday. Sources say that not only has the break in his right index finger worsened, but it is also starting to injure the tendons as well.

“I knew (further injury) was a consequence if I went in and played,” Quinn said Wednesday. “That was something that I was willing to risk. If I had a chance to do it over, I would do it again.”

Quinn is now trying to decide whether to have an operation on the finger or just have it immobilized in a splint. Whatever he decides, the second-year QB, who waited 25 games to make his first NFL start, will miss the Browns’ final five games in what has been a disastrous season for a team that entered the season with playoff expectations.

“It’s frustrating,” said the former Notre Dame star, who broke the tip of his finger and sustained tendon damage in his second start on Nov. 17 at Buffalo. “I can’t begin to tell you. I’m hurting right now because I love to play the game. I wish I could be with my teammates. I feel bad for the fans because I really wanted to be out there and continue to play and continue to grow in this league.

That’s really disappointing news for a young player. Nothing has gone right in Cleveland this year and it’s a shame that Quinn’s first starting experience is ending so soon. Derek Anderson now gets the opportunity to try and display his skills (I just made some Browns fans laugh) over the next five weeks, so maybe the team can deal him in the offseason. (Or he can play his way into a shot with another team after the Browns cut him.)
