Two 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.
1. Ty Detmer- Not officially retired, but has not played since 2005. Started 4 games for Detroit after leaving Cleveland.
2. Tim Couch- Never played a down for the Packers, signed with Jaguars and released last year.
3. Doug Pederson- Went to Green Bay for three years after leaving Cleveland, threw 53 passes in 3 years. Retired after 2004.
4. Spergon Wynn- Started 2 games for Vikings. Threw 1 TD pass in his career. Did not play after 2001.
5. Kelly Holcomb- Started 8 games for Buffalo and 3 for Minnesota after his Browns career was over. Announced retirement this week.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Trent Dilfer- Traded for current QB Ken Dorsey, Dilfer played in 7 games for the 49ers. He retired on Wednesday.
9. 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.
10. 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-
1. Brett Favre.
