Overview: Thirty-six. That’s the number
of starting quarterbacks the Browns have
had since the 2000 season. The Browns
used five starting quarterbacks last
season alone. Deshaun Watson started
only six games for the second straight
year. Despite the quarterback dysfunction and loss of running back Nick
Chubb, Cleveland still won 11 games and
earned a wild-card playoff berth last
season behind NFL Coach of the Year
Kevin Stefanski, NFL Comeback Player
of the Year Joe Flacco and NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett.
