        <body>The fans in the stand want Brady, but the Browns really do have two decent quarterbacks from what I've seen. I still think this is all a smoke screen and that one will be traded, and that DA is more likely to be traded because teams have seen his canon on film.</body>

&lt;div class=&quot;photo&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.fannation.com/upload/si_blog_post_images/30061/brady-quinn-derek-anderson.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Brady-quinn-derek-anderson&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;photo_attributes&quot; style=&quot;text-align:right;&quot;&gt;Brady Quinn, left, and Derek Anderson (Getty)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New Cleveland Browns head coach &lt;strong&gt;Eric Mangini&lt;/strong&gt; inherited two quarterbacks who started games for the team last season. At Tuesday's owners meetings in California, Mangini said for the first time what his plan was for the starting QB position in 2009. From &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2009/03/cleveland_browns_coach_opens_q.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cleveland.com&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The open quarterback competition between &lt;strong&gt;Derek Anderson&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Brady Quinn&lt;/strong&gt; officially has begun, Mangini said at the NFL owners meetings  this morning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the prospect of trading one still exists, Mangini said he met with both  quarterbacks prior to coming here and explained they will have an open  competition for the starting job in 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I talked to both of them about that and was very clear,&quot; Mangini said. &quot;I  said if they have any questions they can come and see me. In terms of the  competition and their opportunities. That's what I told them. They understand  that.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name=&quot;more&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mangini said after reviewing tapes of both players, holding conversations  with them and talking to others, he is &quot;excited&quot; about the prospect of having  both compete for the job.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Without knowing exactly what they were being asked to do on each of the  plays, I thought both seemed to have a good presence, a good command of the  situation. They each do different things in the passing game and running game  that I like,&quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mangini said he will determine later how to divide QB repetitions in  offseason practices, the minicamps and then in training camp.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Browns coach opens competition between Anderson and Quinn (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2009/03/cleveland_browns_coach_opens_q.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cleveland.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;</body>
