Kellen Winslow has been running his mouth again this week about how he is the best tight end in football. Remember, this is the same Winslow, who evidently is a soldier. So at least we know that this isn’t the first time he’s acting up.

I didn’t know that you could play only nine games and that suddenly qualifies you as the best tight end in football. What, did Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez, and Jeremy Shockey all retire? Because those are all players who I’d put above you Winslow. These are all guys who have proved themselves. Yes the nine games you have played have certainly been impressive, but that isn’t quite enough to qualify you in the upper echelon of tight ends in football. Play at this rate for another year or two and then I’ll put you in the top category of tight ends.

If you’re so focused on being the best tight end, maybe you shouldn’t be riding motorcycles and tearing your ACL that way. If you’re going to tear your ACL it should probably happen during a game when the other “soldiers” are gunning for your legs, and not when you’re joy riding on your motorcycle in a community college parking lot.

Winslow plays for a team with no other offensive threats. You wonder why he’s caught 40 passes this year? Probably because the Browns o-line is so abysmal that it doesn’t give Braylon Edwards time to get down field, forcing Charlie Frye to dump it off to Winslow, or risk concussion. Match that up with a rush offense that averages only 79 yards per game and it becomes clear how Winslow has managed 40 grabs.

Winslow has talent there is no doubt about that, it’s just a matter of putting it to good use and not making a complete fool of himself, like he did this week. He probably should realize that he plays on the 31st ranked offense in the league and that he is going against the 2nd ranked defense in the league. All signs point to him being shut down. Maybe he should read the scouting report before running his mouth.
