    Note highlighted that Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde at one time were on the Browns roster together.

    My question is: do you think that that is the only time that ever happened? Two #1 overall drafted QBs together on the same team? Or did it ever happen any other time. Were any two of these guys besides Kosar and Testaverde together on the same team at the same time?

    I don't know the answer. Do any of you have any idea?

  • I think I just found one: weren't Walsh and Aikman on the Cowboys together?

  • Werent Bernie kosar and aikman in the 93 cowboys together?

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    Is Carr on the Giants roster now...or has he been in the last few years? If so, there is another one.

    But you are okay with taking Winslow and not getting Big Ben? LMAO. Idiot Browns.

    If we talk about who the Browns coulda/woulda/shoulda had we could be here for months.

    I mean, we coulda had Tom Brady instead of Spergon Wynn taken 16 spots ahead of Brady.

    We could take that argument out to the absurd.

    Carr has been there for a while first in 07-09 and then now.
