Former Browns tight end Kellen Winslow believes quarterback Brady Quinn should get his chance to start this season for Cleveland, Winslow said Thursday on Sirius NFL radio. Winslow was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in late February.
Asked who would be the better quarterback for the Browns in '09, Quinn or Derek Anderson, Winslow said, "I would say Brady Quinn. I love Derek Anderson. Great quarterback. It just didn’t work out. Brady Quinn is coming in, he has tremendous upside. Very calm, very mature and, I mean, give the guy a chance.
"What’s the big deal? I really don’t get it. This guy has worked his tail off. I bet you he is there working out right now. Just give him a chance. He's a leader, he's coming into his own. I really don’t get what’s the hard decision up there. My choice would be Brady Quinn."
While Winslow went to the Pro Bowl in 2007 largely based on Anderson's 29-touchdown season, which also earned Anderson a trip to Hawaii, Winslow believes it's Quinn's time.
"I don’t know if he is the better quarterback, I am just saying I think he is the guy for the future," Winslow said on Sirius. "Derek Anderson is a great quarterback, don’t get me wrong. He’s a Pro Bowler. I just think the quarterback of the future is Brady Quinn."
Winslow also had an opinion on wide receiver Braylon Edwards and the talk of him being traded to the New York Giants, which Browns general manager George Kokinis recently confirmed he explored.
Asked if he believes Edwards will play in Cleveland in 2009, Winslow said, "For some reason I don’t. I know Braylon would love to go to New York. The Giants would fit him to a 'T' and he would have so much fun up there. I know he loves Cleveland, but New York would be a great fit for him.
"He’s a city guy and, yeah, I know he would love it there."

Everyone knows that Quinn is in… it's time to hand off to someone who won't mismanage the games and turn the ball over so much. Plus I hate when he hangs the receivers out to dry by throwing too high up the middle. That's why they drop the ball!
Who really cares what WINSLOW has to say?
Shut up Winslow, Itraded you so don't worry about what happens here in Cleveland.
WHAT!? DA is a great QB. DA is a Pro Bowler. I love DA. BQ should be the starter? Braylon "loves Cleveland" but BE would love playing in NY. Does anything Winslow says have even the least bit of credibility? I don't think so. Personally, I would be happy to have BQ as the starter but I want one of them traded before draft day. I would be thrilled to say good-bye to BE too. Give the new management team 2 or 3 picks in each of the first two rounds of the draft and let's see what kind of team they can put together.
Who is Tampa's QB ? Does he have the soldiers blessing ? Maybe we could trade Anderson down there .

Quinn had a great game against the Bronco's. He was hurt the two others. Anderson just played terrible all of last year and the last for before that. Not to mention if the recievers didn't catch his off target throws with great catches. It isn't even a conversation.
Now lets get silly trade DA and sign Frye as the back up! We one thing we do know withy Frye he cares. With DA you know he just didn't! Remember his attitude after the Cincy game! No play offs and four picks! Yea! Thanks DA Thanks!
