  • 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.

  • 8. McCoy

    where we at?

    I was just looking at overall winning pct. yes. So that may have included time with the Bears.

    Tom Fears...Father was "white", mother was Mexican.

    Ted Hendricks...Father was "white", mother was Guatamalen.

    Paul McDonald, Mike Phipps, Brian Sipe

    (but, yes, for the Browns Phipps was 24-25-2, but 14-6 for the Bears.)

    5. What distinction does John Borton have in Browns football history?

    He is the ONLY QB out of THE Ohio State University ever drafted by the Browns

    6. Match the Ohio High School with the Browns QB draftee:

    QBs:

    Zeier: .333

    Frye: .304

    McCoy: .285

    Weeden: .250

    McCown: .222

    Quinn: .200

    Wynn: .000

    Awful.

    9. Since 1950 how many Pro Bowl appearances have Quarterbacks that were drafted by the Browns made?

    Just 4:

    Milt Plum 2....both with the Browns in the 1960 and 1961 seasons...and then they traded him.

    Sipe: 1 1980

    Kosar: 1 1987

    10. Since the 1970 merger the Browns on 3 occasions have drafted two QBs in the same year. Name those years.

    1970 drafted Mike Phipps and Mike Cilek

    1976 drafted Gene Swick and Craig Nagel

    And Phipps was the best of the bunch!!! 😳

    11. Of all the QBs the Browns have drafted since 1950, which one rushed for the most yards?

    Phipps: Total career 1278, over 1000 with the Browns

    Second: Sipe 762 yards.

    12. Name those WRs that were drafted by the Browns and who made a Pro Bowl as a Brown since the Browns drafted Paul Warfield in 1964.

    Webster Slaughter made the PB twice. Braylon Edwards once, Josh Gordon once.

    Gerald McNeil, listed as a regular WR, made it as a Punt Returner.

    Also....the Browns drafted Ron Brown....who did make the Pro Bowl....for the Rams.

  • 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.
