You Are The GM…..For Jhonny Peralta
July 10, 2008The Return of Tractor?
July 10, 2008Two former Browns quarterbacks retired in the same week. What are the odds? Actually, what are the odds of two former Browns QB’s being active on someones roster? Frye may not be ready to hang up the spikes just yet, but he is having a tough time supplanting Seneca Wallace as the #2 QB on Seattle’s depth chart.
Since rejoining the league in 1999 the Browns haven’t had many outstanding signal callers. Here are the QB’s that started a game for the Browns since returning in 1999.
-
Ty Detmer- Not officially retired, but has not played since 2005. Started 4 games for Detroit after leaving Cleveland.
-
Tim Couch- Never played a down for the Packers, signed with Jaguars and released last year.
-
Doug Pederson- Went to Green Bay for three years after leaving Cleveland, threw 53 passes in 3 years. Retired after 2004.
-
Spergon Wynn- Started 2 games for Vikings. Threw 1 TD pass in his career. Did not play after 2001.
-
Kelly Holcomb- Started 8 games for Buffalo and 3 for Minnesota after his Browns career was over. Announced retirement this week.
-
Jeff Garcia- Certainly the most talented QB on this list, Garcia spent a year in Detroit before helping Philly make the playoffs in 2006. Started 13 games for Tampa Bay last season, and is the #1 QB on the depth chart.
-
Luke McCown- Was traded to Tampa Bay where he sat on the bench until last season, when he appeared in 5 games with a 91.7 QB rating.
-
Trent Dilfer- Traded for current QB Ken Dorsey, Dilfer played in 7 games for the 49ers. He retired on Wednesday.
-
Charlie Frye- Charlie, Charlie. The best QB in the history of the University of Akron currently resides on Seattle’s bench behind Matt Hasselbeck and Seneca Wallace.
-
Derek Anderson
Yep. That’s a pathetic list alright. Just for fun let’s see the list of starting QB’s for the Packers during the same time-
-
Brett Favre.

hopefully this fall DA will prove he is the most talented one on the list, instead of Grandpa Garcia!
Hasn’t Favre been in GB since ’92? I think that even covers Bernie and Vinny’s time as Browns QBs.
I remember when people in Cleveland were excited to see Holcomb start……man they were desperate
Man, am I glad we stole Wynn in the sixth round of that draft. NE was forced to draft some bum from U of M…
/sigh
I still love Kelly. You give him the current Browns offense and he is starting the Pro Bowl next summer.
(note: I don’t think I actually believe this — but after being a “Holcomb guy” for 2 plus you just involuntary say such things).
man that white facemask is awful
todd, where exactly do u get ur drugs from?
Don’t feel bad, the Dallas Cowboys have had a few people QB since Troy Aikman Retired.
Do you think its Kinda sad that a life long Browns fan has never heard of two of those players? Lol
I have to know which two, I’m guessing Wynn and Pederson?
The List will be complete with number 11. Brady Quinn will be the final QB on the list for about 12-15 years. Phil let the golden boy show what he can do.
No, he means Garcia and Dilfer. He managed to purge them from his memory, the no longer exist in the annals of Browns history.
