Memo to Eric Mangini, how much of a tactical and competitive advantage do a team gain by not revealing their starting quarterback when both quarterback possesses similar skill set. Head Coach Eric Mangini is under the impression by not revealing his starting quarterback that his team would have an advantage against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings has one of the better defenses in the NFL and they will be well prepared to go against Anderson or Quinn leading the Browns' offense.
Coach Mangini adds to storyline by keeping his choice of starter close to the vest, but the game will be watched to see "Mr. Retiree or not" Bret Favre's debut. Many of the reports have Brady Quinn winning the quarterback battle and by keeping this information tight-lipped really not working out too well. Games are won on the field and not by mind tricks that are used to get into the head of the other team. Coach Mangini, I know your team has heard of runningback Adrian Peterson, and there is not secret to what he is capable of. Peterson will definitely affect the Browns' game plan.
By not naming the starter, it might totally confuse the Viking and how they will execute their game plan, but if you believe that then I have some waterfront property in Idaho to sell you. Well when Week 1 comes and Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson takes the first snap, the secret is revealed, and the so called competitive advantage at that point is lost. Besides the unknown, what do the Browns have in their arsenal to defeat the Vikings? A competitive advantage I think not Coach Mangini. Reveal your starters already for the fans' sake.
