Bernie Kosar

[Kosarfan]

Kosar was a blast to watch. Never counted them out with him. He was indeed one of the smartest QB's of all time.

The receiving corp he worked with was terrific as well - Slaughter, Langhorn, Brennan - Brian Brennan was the Wes Welker of the Browns - always consistent, always a go to guy that came up big. Of course there was also the great Oz. Ozzie was awesome.

Then there was the great backfield Kosar had in Mack and Byner. Anyone who wants to go on and on about the fumble is not giving a single ounce of credibility to the fact that had Byner not played as strong ALL season and especially in teh playoffs that year, the team would never have been in a position to be playing in the AFC Championship game that year. Byner is 'the fumble' guy, he's another great Browns RB. Romo dropped a game winning snap for a filed goal and he's still considered a superstar.

... and don't forget bernie playing with a broken finger - wrppaed in a splint on the throwing hand. Wonder if Quinn ever saw those tapes.

Was VERY glad Bernie got a ring. He deserved one with a Browns helmet on it .... TWICE.

I believe it translates in English as "Whale's xxxx". Yep, I'm almost positive that's it.

Diversity is the name.

Here's the interview, just in case anybody wanted to watch it:

Graham is easily the best QB statistically. He also played in a championship 8 or 10 of his seasons of pro football. There really is no argument against that except for the huge sentimentality I fell for Kosar.

As far as other Browns QBs, Sipe and Kosar are pretty much the same. I think it comes down to when you were a 10 year old, 1980 or 1986.

This is an awesome website. I found it when trying to find out who the best Bears QB of all time was:

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!

i saw one like that too BB499--had all the alpha dog QB's there like you said. i remember it looked tropical, but coulda just been Florida or something. on this one the targets were small but stationary, spaced every 10 yards.

everyone hit about the same distance limit but Bernie kept going. i can't remember if it was 20 or 30 yards more than everyone else. definitely 20 or more though...it was at least two more turns.

up until he finally missed he was pretty much direct middle of the target every time, not even close to touching the sides as it went through.

its gotta be on the web somewhere.
