After a line like that I dont think you can call yourself intelligent. Now either your parents payed the teachers off or your mom worked it off. Which one?
haha... yes, one spelling error means I'm an idiot.

How ironic.

There are several grammatical errors in your post. First of all, there should be a comma after the line "After a line like that." Then, there should ba an apostrophe in the word "don't." Then, there should be a comma after "Now" and after the first "off."
So, before you start calling people out on their spelling errors, make sure you aren't making some pretty dumb mistakes yourself. Especially like using "payed" instead of "paid."

I have always been amazed at the love affair Cleveland has with Kosar who was an average NFL QB. Granted he accomplished a lot given his physical limitations but he was still average.Brilliance of the Stoner, you gotta love it.
Berns was certainly no Stoudt or Malone.....you remember those guys?

I was at that Jets game...and I love watching it on the highlights when its on TV.
I've always loved Bernie Kosar and it always amazes me how so-called Browns fans can bad-mouth him. He's human just like all of us but his love for the Browns and what he did for us back in the 80's is simply amazing.

Neil O'Donnell sure warms the hearts of Yinzers everywhere.

I am not saying he was a Hall of Famer. Those physical limitations..a lot of which were the result of injury...are what held him back there.
Early on in his career his arm was a lot stronger than what you probably remember, but he had that sidearm delivery that made it look awkward, but at first he could hit a receiver on a dime 50 yards down the field. After suffering a series of elbow, wrist and hand injuries...yes, that strength diminished. He was never a bazooka arm like a Bradshaw or Elway, but he was better than you think.

I like Bernie a lot, but no way was he the best QB....Graham takes that nod.
He might get second nod, but if so, it isn't by much over 2 others for sure and maybe three....Sipe, Ryan, and the forgotten great qb we had, Bill Nelson.
All three of those guys were right up there with Bernie, but if you didn't see them play, then i understand the nod to Kosar....and again, that isn't any dis to Bernie...as I said, I liked him a lot.
It's been a long time since we had a QB who we all could rally around....a guy you knew would bounce back after a rare bad game.
I think Bernie is looked at as highly by some is he was the last QB we had that was like that....since then we have had anywhere from bum to a 50% guy....half like him, half like the back-up.
Couch maybe had that for a year or two, but that was mostly because he was able to ride the wave of excitement of having our team back for the first few years of his career.

Well, I saw every one of those QBs play except Graham, and of all the Browns QBs I saw, Bernie was the best. He has the close edge for me over Ryan, Sipe, and Nelson.
I mean, the greatest physical speciman was Mike Phipps. But he was a total mental flop.

Bradshaw was just an average NFL QB who was elevated by the roiders playing around him.

Bradshaw blew. Totally and completely overrated cuz of all the roiders carrying him.
I completely agree.

Stoner likes to flirt.
You should see some of the PM's he sends me.

I remember back in the 80's one of those made for TV "Superstars" competitions where they matched up the top QBs
from back then , they all had to do these little passing drills to determine the best of the bunch and I don't remember
exactly what they had to do overall ,but one of the drills was to throw a football through a tire as it zipped across the field.
All the big boyz where there Kelly,Elway,Young,Marino...they all missed ! except Bernie, so they bust his balls about a lucky
first throw,Bernie laughing the whole time picks up another ball and nails it again!

.As I said, he might get the nod.....point being all were pretty darn good. Lets say close enough I am not going to try to distinguish between them.
I will say this, if I could have any of the 4 in a modern , young body, I am good riding that for the next 12 years.
I did see Otto near the end, and I was pretty young, so I have to admit most of my opinion is based on historical record.

.No doubt....a lot of fans forgot or didn't see him play early in his career. I have a Plain Dealer publication that I saved from the Saturday of the AFC championship game in '86. On the front page, about 10 well known experts are polled on who will win that game. The majority of them, favor Cleveland over Denver in a close game, with the difference being the qb's. Kosar was the better qb at that point, and threw a more accurate deep pass. Of course, from that point on, after " the drive"....and after the many injuries that Kosar had, everything changed.
