Brady Quinn Will Miss Rest of Season

Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn will miss the rest of this season with a broken finger. He injured it a couple weeks ago against Buffalo (Brady broke the tip of his finger and messed up a tendon), then did further damage by playing with it last week against Houston. Still, he doesn’t regret his decision to play against the Texans:

“I knew that was a consequence if I went in and played. That was something that I was willing to risk. If I had a chance to do it over, I would do it again ….. It’s frustrating. 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. Hopefully, this will allow me to grow stronger and something good will come from this.”

That’s good to hear. Brady is still the man in Cleveland. Naturally, it would have been better for the team and for Brady’s future if he had been able to finish the season and collect five more games worth of valuable experience, but the Browns will have to hope that his three starts against Denver, Buffalo and Houston will serve him well heading into 2009. As Brady decides whether to have an operation on the finger or just have it immobilized in a splint, the Browns’ playoff fate has already been decided as they continue in what has been a very disappointing season.
