Cleveland is quarterback hell
People love to harp on the Bears for being the place where quarterbacks go to die. Admittedly it hasn’t been the most pleasant place at times. The handling of the Cutler era was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Too many mistakes to count. This isn’t even factoring in the parade of sadness before his arrival. Tons of bust draft picks and ill-fated castoffs from other teams.
Yet for all their misery, the Bears can’t hold a candle to the Cleveland Browns organization, particularly since the franchise returned in 1999. Here is a rundown of some of the highlights those fans got (had) to watch over the past 18 years.
- Tim Couch
- Doug Pederson
- Kelly Holcomb
- Jeff Garcia
- Trent Dilfer
- Charlie Frye
- Derek Anderson
- Brady Quinn
- Colt McCoy
- Seneca Wallace
- Brandon Weeden
- Jason Campbell
- Brian Hoyer
- Johnny Manziel
- Josh McCown
- Robert Griffin III
This isn’t even factoring in how unstable the Browns organization has been since new owner Jimmy Haslam took over. The constant changes at head coach and the front office don’t reflect well on the organization. It’s hard to believe there is much stability there. Garoppolo likes money like anybody else, but is there any amount that will convince him going to Cleveland is in the best interests of his future?
