7. I can think of 9 QBs drafted since then, but I could be wrong: Zeier?, Couch, Wynn, McCoy, Anderson, Quinn, Weeden, McCown?, Frye

Well, you got them all, but added one. Anderson was NOT drafted by the Browns. He was drafted by the Ravens and picked up by the Browns off the Ratbirds practice squad I believe.

 

8. Anderson Obviously not given that they didn't draft him.

Phipps went 10-4 in 1972, & threw 5 ints vs the undefeated Dolphins in Miami in a playoff game. We also had a punt blocked, and lost 20-14.....I'm over that now :mad:

Bottom line on a lot of the above: The Browns have really done a fairly poor job of drafting talent in the last 50 years:

Only 4 Pro Bowl appearances by drafted WRs

Only 4 Pro Bowl appearances by drafted QBs

The best QBs they have drafted have barely over a .500 record. Sipe only 2 games over .500. The same for Bernie.

No QB who can even reach a .400 win pct. in the last 20+ years.

 

WTF.
