The Josh Innes Show - Can You Name All 40 Browns Starting QB's Of The Last 25 Years?

Episode Date: January 3, 2025

We start with a random discussion about Brian Thomas Jr being a Pro Bowl snub. It's pretty freaking remarkable that a dude from the small town of Walker, LA is one of the most elite WR in the NFL. Walker is a small town outside of Baton Rouge. It's still cool to me when dudes from my home area are successful. Now, I try to name as many Browns starting QB's as possible from the last 25 years. Bailey Zappe is going to be #40 on Sunday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

we are your local dignity memorial provider find us at dignity memorial.ca the dignity memorial brand name is used to identify a network of licensed funeral cremation and cemetery providers owned and operated by affiliates of service corporation international you know one of the guys we didn't mention in the uh in the prop bets or in the incentives and there's no incentive here really i don't think financially maybe there is and we don't know about it we just didn't read it but brian thomas jr is gonna ball the hell out on sunday because again they're playing a meaningless game but he was a pro bowl snub and the pro bowl is a farce anyway like it sucks that dudes like you know get bonused on whether

or not they make the pro bowl like if you need to know how much of a farce the Pro Bowl is, I'm fairly certain that Travis was, like, the leading vote-getter or something like that. Yes, and also I think they just introduced a new feature where it's going to be, like, a trivia game and how well you know your teammates. Okay, so the Pro Bowl is a waste of fucking time, except for the fact that there is an honor that comes with it.

Like, I get that. Like, it's kind of like this. There's nobody, like, if I want to use a radio comparison, like, making the Radio Inc Inc top 20 or something radio personalities doesn't mean a fucking thing in the grand scheme of thing. It ain't making you any more money. You ain't getting a bonus unless you have the most amazing contract ever. You're not getting bonused on whether or not you're on the radio Inc list or the Barrett sports media list or whatever, but it feels good to know that you're kind of among the best there is at least according to some dingus. Right. And that's kind

of what the pro bowl is like the pro bowl game is worthless. All the games in the pro bowl are worthless. There's trivia, apparently it's stupid and dumb, and there's no reason to care about it, except for the fact that like, you want to be there because it matters to you because you are like just the idea of being a pro bowler matters and a lot of dudes in their contracts have incentives for making pro bowls and all pros but especially in your first year like that's cool to say hey i went to the pro bowl in my fucking rookie season and by the way he deserves it because he's a beast. He and Malik. Did Malik make it?

I think he did, but I'm not sure. Because Malik's been balling. But I mean, BT has been better than Malik. Again, this is all NFLSU stuff here. But BT has been a stud. And you look at his yards per catch, it's bonkers. He's a guy that can make long plays. Every game, he's good for a 30, 40 yarder, if not more.

He's been more consistent than Malik. Malik is an alternate, but still. To me, and this is nothing against Malik because Malik's been balling. But Malik tends to ball in these games. And granted, they both play in meaningless games. But Malik tends to ball out more late in these games that are already over. Whereas I feel like BTJ has been going out and making big plays at least earlier in games. Like Malik is slow, slow, slow.

And then we'll come on with like eight catches in like the second half of the game. They're getting trounced. Speaking of Malik, we didn't talk about this one either, but he could break the Giants rookie record for catches. So and again, because the guy gets like eight catches a game. Yeah, except the last game really had four he needs four against philly uh to break steve smith's franchise record of 107 so he's going to do that so whatever his number is which is normally five and a half or six and a half uh take his catches he could also technically set the nfl rookie receptions which

brock bowers just did last week what's the total and well Brock's also going to add to his current one yes so um I do to me BTJ has been better than Malik he's been more consistent than Malik he's been a more dynamic downfield threat now part of that is who your quarterback is but Malik's been a guy that's caught a lot of short passes and taking it for longer btj which he did at lsu was able to take the top off of defenses and put together long ass tuds uh to me i would go with btj over malik but i love both of them like they're my children when you let up the nflsu parlay we've won like five weeks in a row on the nflsu parlay and the way it's shaping up the nfl SU parlay is going to be super lit this weekend because virtually everybody that we usually play in the NFL SU parlay is playing for something. Joe, touchdown passes.

Let's go. Malik, yards and catches. Let's go. Jets, that would be. For the division. Yeah. So Jets is playing for the division in Minnesota. And the number one seed.

So that's huge. So take Justin Jefferson and then BTJ. Like this is a super de-duper weekend for the NFLSU parlay. But they all are super de-duper weekends because the LSU parlay always fucking hits. I don't know who saw it last week, but if you recall, I guess like Brian Thomas Jr. had like a rib injury and Doug was like, you got to come out. And he's like, no, fuck that. I'm trying to be offensive rookie of the year which he has no chance no shit like being snubbed from the Pro Bowl that

means a lot to him I think let me tell you how wild the world is right so again I understand that LSU is in Louisiana so it makes sense that a lot of great LSU players would come from the state of Louisiana but it's wild to me that Brian Thomas Jr. has arguably been the best rookie receiver in the NFL. He's been a stud, and Brian Thomas Jr. is a dude that comes from a small town called Walker, Louisiana, which is in Livingston Parish. It is a suburb of Baton Rouge, so Baton Rouge is in East Baton Rouge Parish. I went to school in West Baton Rouge Parish on the other side of the Mississippi River at Brulee. Brulee had two dudes that made it to the NFL. One, actually, technically, I guess, the West side, like Baton Rouge, Port Allen, which was our rival, Port Allen had Tracy Porter. Tracy Porter went on to have the game-sealing Super Bowl-winning pick six off Peyton Manning in the

Super Bowl. I played basketball. I literally played high school basketball against that dude. Dude probably dunked on me. And that dude had the game ceiling Super Bowl winning fucking touchdown on that same team. Another one of the defensive backs on that team was a guy named Randall Blue Gay. He went to my high school a couple of years before I did. Dude played at LSU for Nick Saban, goes on to play in the Super Bowl. And like, it's one thing if you're from a town like Philadelphia or Houston, where like billions of athletes come from those places because billions of people just come from those cities. And I understand that Louisiana is a great state when it comes to NFL talent per

capita, like they're probably not a better state in the country than Louisiana per capita for NFL talent produced. But for someone like me, like dopey kid that grew up and spent most of my life in terms of my high school years and teenage years and middle school years in Louisiana, it's pretty fucking cool whenever a dude that went to a school that you played against in high school, when that dude is like the dude in the NFL in terms of rookie receivers this year. That's pretty freaking cool. And Walker is just like this small little hillbilly town in Livingston Parish, which is kind of a hillbilly little parish. Isn't Walker where your dad sang Summer Breeze and karaoke? Yep. First time you met, Scotty, was when dad sang karaoke at the daiquiri place in Walker, Louisiana. Right. So it was a moment.

It was a great moment. Walker is like, again, just small. I called Walker high school football games on TV at one point when I was doing the high school game of the week. So like, it's cool when you're from a small town. Like I was born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. So anytime you got a chance to tell people that, hey, I'm from Poplar Bluff. I was born in Poplar Bluff. And that's where Tyler Hansbro played.

I played basketball in elementary school against Tyler Hansbro and his brother. His brother was named Ben. I think his brother went to Notre Dame and Mississippi State maybe. But his brother, Ben Hansbro, and Tyler, I think Tyler Hansbro is about my age, they went to the private school, Sacred Heart in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. I went to Williamson Kennedy. The year I went to school there was the last year the school ever existed. We didn't have a gym. We had to go to this ratty-ass gym to practice.

My grandma would take me to practice, and she'd always remind me of that. She'd be like, yeah, son, I'd have to bring your ass over to that gymnasium on the east side. That's where we went to practice. So when I was a kid, I played high school basketball against a dude that was the player of the year in college basketball. So like when, like you're from Chicago. So like when someone like, oh, did you know that, you know, insert whatever player, Tony Allen is from Chicago or Derrick Rose is from Chicago or, uh, or kevin garnett went to school in chicago or or michelle obama's from chicago i can like narrow it down to my high school though like i've got

cool people that went to my high school like the guy that drove like 120 on the ben franklin what was his name oh oh god uh uh not okafor jaleel okafor he went to my high school yeah k adams went to my high school she had a different name and a different face when she went. Speaking of Kay Adams, I'm glad you brought her up. I don't know that there is a person who went from being cuter and more adorable to looking ridiculous thanks to plastic surgery. Well, I guess Meg Ryan. But Meg Ryan got older and decided to get plastic surgery because it sucks to get older. Kay Adams is in her fucking 20s, probably her earlys she's the original host of good morning football she used to wear the little

black glasses on tv and she was fucking adorable had kind of a raspy voice was cute now she's gotten so much work done that she looks ridiculous and i forget what her name was in high school like k adams it's not her name she's gonna be in my yearbook I think she was a freshman when I was a senior so I have to look it was Dorothy something her name was Dorothy Dorothy Marcus Jordan Michael's kid went to my high school and that's cool but again like Chicago

has like 11 million people I'm narrowing it down to my high school dude there were more people that went to your high school than lived in my town Chris Hill Ron Hill, Ron Howard. Like Ron Howard of Happy Days, Ron Howard? Former professional basketball player, Ron. Oh, I see.

I thought maybe it was Opie. Like, hey, Opie went to your school? No shit. Yeah, Jalil Okafor and also Michelle Obama. Quentin Richardson, Q. He was an NBA player. But again, how many people were in your graduating class shoot like probably i think when we started we had like 700 by the time graduation it would be like 570 you know how many people went to my high school 400 you know how many were in my

graduating class like 80 so i had some number like that so again whenever you come like whenever we got a dude that goes to the NFL from our school or even goes to a major college. I didn't know that Craig Robinson went to my high school. From the office? Yeah. See? And that's cool.

I'm not disparaging the fact or criticizing the fact that you had these people go to your school. But when you're from a dopey little town, like when you look at Brian Thomas Jr. and Brian Thomas Jr. from Walker. Look this up. Look up Walker, Louisiana and tell me how many famous people

are from Walker, Louisiana. Not many. Who was the dude that went? I don't. Let's see. Big Baby Davis, who I also played against in high school. Notable people.

Brian Thomas Jr. is on the Notable People. Okay. Something called Julie Cantrell, editor and best-selling novelist no idea who that is mike dejean former major league pitcher okay let me tell you who i think that is oh no i'm thinking wrong but i know who that is but anyway it doesn't matter jefferson d hughes associate justice of the louisiana supreme court okay so that's four people that you've listed. You had four people in your graduating class probably that became celebrities. There's four people from Walker, Louisiana, a place where my dad sang karaoke. So I am impressed by the fact

that we have that. Look up famous people from Brulee, Louisiana. I already did. Amy Como. Now, Amy Como was a girl that was kind of an up-and-coming country singer who I think died in a car crash and never really became anything, but she was like someone that they thought was kind of their maybe a chance to be a star, but I think she died in a car crash. Then Randall Gay, as we mentioned. Blue.

And then there was Norman Lejeune, who also played in the NFL. He went to LSU. I don't see no Norman Lejeune. Well, Tank referenced him in a story randomly once because he played for the Eagles people from Philly would know who Norman is and all I know is that me and my buddy Walt when we would play Madden we would always put Norman and Randall on our teams and they had like 50s on Madden but we'd use them anyway but like nobody's from my town so like when you see a dude that goes somewhere, like Tracy Porter from Port Allen,

that's cool when the dude that sealed the Super Bowl is from your West Baton Rouge parish, which is basically, it's Port Allen and Brulee. Those are the two towns, right? That is cool. So that's neat. Kay Adams went to school with you, and you had like 20 Kay Adams at the school with you.

And Poplar Bluff, we didn't have too many. So when you get to at the school with you so and Poplar Bluff like we didn't have too many so when you get to say hey that person from Poplar Bluff we're proud of it you know yeah that's cool I was just I was trying to find something to relate to I didn't want to do the whole city of Chicago well like in Poplar Bluff the people that are from Poplar Bluff there was a chick that was in Playboy

she played Mike's girlfriend I forgot Julie Julie McCullough is her name and Julie McCullough was in Playboy or Penthouse Penthouse or Playboy might have been Playboy and she played Mike Seaver's girlfriend on Growing Pains and Kirk Cameron had her kicked off the show because he was a holy roller and he had her kicked off the show because she was in the porno mag so they ran her off that's Julieccullough um there's also a woman from poplar bluff well first of all scott ennis is from poplar bluff he's on the

wikipedia there was a five minutes that i was on the wikipedia for poplar bluff when i did the rome show and then someone removed me from it but um there's also a woman named linda bloodworth thompson her husband is a guy named Harry Thompson. They created the show Designing Women, which is one of the greatest shows ever. That was on there. Is Derlin Moore from Poplar Bluff, a guy that played for the Saints? Dang, the Wikipedia, that's

fucked, man. What's that? It says Ennis married his first wife, Jodi. Oh, you're looking at my dad's Wikipedia? Yeah. Well, obviously that's not true, but like dad wouldn't know how to go in and fix that anyway. They divorced in 2014. Together they have a son, Presley.

Ennis also has an older son named Josh who works as a sports radio talk host in Houston, Texas. Not true. Obviously dad's Wikipedia is a bit dated and inaccurate. There's no mention of Emily. Well, now Emily's going to listen to this because she listens to the podcast and now she's going to tell my mom and they're both going to be pissed. Emily should edit this Wikipedia. Emily, go somehow

edit dad's Wikipedia before mom sees it and you both get angry. Ennis married his second wife, Cindy Harris in September of 2016. Not dad's second wife Cindy Harris in September of 2016 not dad's second wife so good not Wikipedia is not always true well you need to learn that because you think everything is true on here I I like I check multiple sources you'd be like oh wow Scott and this only married twice well then I would anything I look up on Wikipedia I then go Google it and try to find more information, Jilly.

Thank you. But yeah, so anyway, random. I don't even know how. Oh, that all started with Brian Thomas Jr., who it's pretty fucking cool that one of the biggest ballers in the NFL right now is from a small little town from the outskirts of Baton Rouge. It's all I'm saying. All right, let me play a couple of commercials here. The whole point of doing this third wine drinking segment here was you were telling me that there have been 40 dudes

who've started games at quarterback for the Browns since 1999. Yes, Bailey Zappi will be the 40th on Saturday. And I'm going to try to name as many of these sons of bitches as I can. And it's going to be tough because that's, well, 39 other people other than Bailey Zappi. So we're going to do that after we play some commercials.

And I'd like to just try to think I can maybe go backwards from where we are now and it would be easier or start at the beginning. I don't know. Or just try to name as many dudes who played quarterback for the Browns in no particular order. But obviously Bailey Zappi is one. That's going to be hard to keep track of.

I know. I don't know. Let me grab my phone and maybe I'll just... I know. So let's see here. Let me get out the... This is not going to be easy. I don't know what my notes mean, but

my last note on my phone said foghorns, beauty rest silver. So that must be the pillow that we were looking for. Oh, the pillow. Water, fridge, sink kitchen, 1004. What was 1004? I don't fucking know. It's 1004.

But anyway, all right, so Bailey Zappy is one. Yeah. All right, so that's one. I'm going to do these in like slash marks or whatever you would call that. All right, so there's one that means that um obviously jamis would be two uh dtr would be three um masturbating gentlemen would be four those are the four i think that have done it this year then we would and two of those same guys also did it last year.

Okay. Deshaun and DTR. So then you would also go with Baker. Baker played for the Browns. That was back in 2019 and 2020 and 2021 part of. That would be five. So I've gotten five of them so far. I'm not going to be able to do them in order,

so I'm just going to start naming to do them in order so i'm just going to start naming them um tim couch would be one he would be like 1999 tim couch okay first so tim couch would be in there uh the guy that one of my favorite coaches of all time bruce arian said was like the best quarterback he ever coached randomly which is total bullshit kelly holcomb would be in there. Kelly Holcomb is in there. That was 2002. All right, so Kelly Holcomb.

Did Charlie Batch ever play quarterback for the Browns? There's a Charlie, but I don't think it's Charlie Batch. Charlie Batch didn't play for the Browns? I don't see him. I thought he did. Maybe pre-1999. Maybe. That's former Steelers.

Maybe Charlie. Let's see. Well, you know who else played quarterback would be Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy. He was a Browns quarterback. Yes, Colt McCoy was in there. Goddamn, I've only named eight of these sons of bitches. You've got a lot to go. Let's see.

Just start naming people that played for the Browns. Well, Flacco played for the Browns Flacco was a Browns quarterback This year you named all Deshaun Kaiser Deshaun Kaiser was one of them So you've named all four this year Last year you've already all four this year.

Yeah. Last year, you've already named Deshaun Watson and Joe Flacco and DTR. But there were two more last year. There were two other dudes that played for them last year? Yes. The Browns? Yes. Okay, two other dudes that played.

I've named 10 of the 40. So there's still 30 more of these sons of bitches to go. Yeah. And two of them were from last year, and I have not named them. Let's see. Two more from last year that played quarterback for the Browns. Holy shit. Are they black or white? They had five starting quarterbacks last year one of each

one of each so a black guy and a white guy so it wasn't DTR well he started last year too but you already named him this is a lot I can't do them in order I just have to just name people that I associate with holy shit no there are two from last year you haven't even named holy shit this is not easy um browns quarterbacks i've named 10 of 40 since 1999 shit um oh no um there's probably obvious ones i'm missing in there too like dudes they've drafted probably i mean they drafted baker obviously i mean that's you should be obvious here um oh it should be yeah like from last year no but it's a pretty notable draft pick a pretty notable Browns draft pick shit what year is this uh well his first start came in 2014 oh was there a dude uh oh you know who um oh no deshaun kaiser was the guy that was from notre

dame you already mentioned shit so 2014 was 2014 browns starting quarterback shit he was drafted in 2014 two games that year and six in 2015 shit and that wasn't baker huh baker's draft in 2018 oh yeah that makes sense i'm off browns drafted a quarterback in 2014 where did he go to school texas a&m oh johnny manziel okay you're right my my everybody listening to this is like josh you fucking schmuck it's just it's johnny fucking manziel you fucking moron. It was very easy. Okay, so now we've got 11 with an asterisk, but 11.

All right, so there's 11. Jesus Christ, there's so many. Like, I can't think of all of them. And there was someone who started before Johnny Football got his first start. Where did he go to school? Oh, I don't know, but he played for the Texans. Oh, Hoyer? Yep. So Hoyer was a quarterback for the Browns. My God, they were all quarterbacks for the Browns. Also, I'm pretty sure most of these guys played for the Texans

too. I think this is one of the teams that Fitzmagic didn't play for. No, Fitzmagic did not play here. So no Fitzmag magic on the browns um a few other texans former a few other former texans case keenum didn't play for the browns he did no shit he started two games in 2021 no fucking shit i'm trying to think of other shitty did uh we said Hoyer I think this guy played for the Texans let me double check

God I feel like I'm really whiffing on some of the earlier 2000s Browns quarterback because Tim Couch was there for a pretty lengthy period of time this other guy I'm thinking of certainly did play for the Texans alright in this in the Bill O'Brien era

oh Dan orlovsky did he no no not dan orlovsky this was in 12 he was the browns quarterback for the first time in 2012 okay so that me and that was before or after the texans probably before okay before the so So that means we're, okay, not TJ Yates. No. God, so, oh, it wasn't Mallett. Mallett didn't play for the Browns, right? No. And not Brock. This guy started his career in Cleveland.

What year? 2012. So 2012, he started his career in Cleveland. 15 starts for the Browns. And ended up with the Texans? 2012. So 2012, he started his career in Cleveland. 15 starts for the Browns. And ended up with the Texans? Yeah. When? Years later. Years later, I see.

And this is a Bill O'Brien Texan? He played for the Texans in 2015, 2016, and 2018. With a stop in Tennessee in between. Oh, a stop in Tennessee in between. Oh, a stop in... He also played for the Cowboys before the Texans. Kellen Moore? Nope.

So he played for the Texans, the Cowboys, and the Browns? And the Titans one season. And the Titans. The fuck? Again, this is probably one that people are yelling at me. They're like, what the fuck, Josh? You're an imbecile.

Maybe. Okay, so I'm trying to think of all the Bill O'Brien era quarterbacks that were there. So you had Fitzmagic. You had Hoyer. You had Brock. You had Deshaun. This is really upsetting me that I don't know this. Like I feel real.

Oklahoma State. I feel like I should know. Selected 22nd overall by the Cleveland Browns. I feel really fucking stupid, right? And that... What am I doing here? What's his first initial? B.

Oh, Brandon Whedon. There you go. All right, that's all I needed. All, Brandon Whedon. There you go. All right, that's all I needed. All I needed was seven clues to get that one. So, so far we now have 14. We've named 14 of the 40 Browns quarterbacks since 1999. Holy shit. I mean, I can keep giving you clues, but.

Holy shit. Do you want to make keep giving you clues, but. Holy shit. Do you want to make any more guesses here? I'm trying. Hold on. I'm not totally dead yet, but I'm pretty dead. So there's who was in the same era as Tim Couch. Kelly Holcomb was in that same era. You already said him.

I know. Yeah. There was another quarterback in the Tim Couch season. He started two games. 1999. I'm just going to start naming dudes that were failures in other places and see if they ended up in Cleveland. Like, who was the dude?

Joey Harrington. Did he ever play for the Browns? No. He got drafted by the Lions. All right, so Marcus Mariota. Did he ever play for the Browns? He got drafted by the Lions um all right so um Marcus Mariota did he ever play for the Browns not yet all right yet failed quarterbacks that might have ended up in Cleveland um are there any that I obviously should know? There's a few you should obviously know. Oh, no.

I almost said Jamarcus, but he was just with the Raiders. There are a couple former. What's his name that played for the Bears and went to Auburn and played for, I think, Washington as well? Did he ever play with the? Oh, actually, Brisket. Yep, Brisket was one of them. Jacoby Brissett. Okay, Jacoby Broby brissett did okay so there's that one so now we're at 15 uh but the one i'm thinking of is um oh shit oh um campbell did jason campbell

play for them jason campbell did not start for them oh no shit it feels like a place that jason campbell might have started he didn't start again these are starting quarterbacks okay i feel like he would have started there at some point um ah shit um are there any i should know you said probably a couple there's just a i mean people that shit this is terrible and now my phone is listening to what i'm saying and now it's transcribing everything there's another guy that played for the texans from 2021 to 2022 2021 to 2022 that was his fifth team already but he was there is he a black guy no white guy yes i don't know who the fuck is it jake delome wait jake

delome didn't play for the fucking texans in 2021 yes he did no he didn't jake delome didn't play in the league and i do remember alone was like maybe he's coaching now, but he was with the Texans. Wait a sec. Jake DeLome retired a long time ago. He's played for the Bengals, the Lions, the Broncos, the Texans, the Cardinals, and the Browns. Well, when did DeLome play? Let's see. DeLome played football into that. Wait as. Well, when did DeLome play? Let's see. DeLome played football into that.

Wait, that's not Jake DeLome. That's Jeff Driscoll you're looking at. Oh, I gave you another one then. You're looking at, yes, Jeff Driscoll is what. Jake DeLome. I was like, Jake DeLome played football until 2023? I was looking at Jeff Driscoll was who I was thinking of. But you can see the Jake and the Jeff.

No, but Jake DeLome, I guess he played for the Browns too? Yeah. Okay. Did Jake DeLome actually play a game for the Texans? I want to say, and he was a coach, I thought, too, at one point. No shit. Holy shit. So Jake DeLome

and Jeff Driscoll. You know what? Just start listing these motherfuckers. This is giving me a headache. So in 1999, besides Tim Couch, it was Ty Dittmer. Okay. 2000.

If I give you the year, will that help you? Tim Couch. Yep, he started seven. Someone started eight. Give me that person's first initial. Charlie Batch never played for them. That's surprising. D.

That would be, his name starts with a D. Dan something? Doug Peterson. Oh, Dougie P. was a starting quarterback for the Browns. No shit. And then there was one more person who started in 2000. He started one game. What's his name start with?

Spurgeon Wynn. Yeah, I wasn name start with? Spurgeon Wynn. Yeah, I wasn't going to get Spurgeon Wynn. Boy, the Browns, what a clusterfuck. They deserve, they really deserve having the fucking butthole finger guy on their fucking, they deserve Deshaun. So you named already Kelly Holcomb. Yep, who was like the greatest quarterback that Bruce Arians ever saw, apparently, if you believe his book.

This guy also played for the Texans in 2011. T.J. Yates? Not T.J. Yates. Oh, Matt Leinart? This is where he ended his career. What, with the Browns or with the Texans? With the Texans. In 2011?

Yeah, but he started with the Browns in 2004, 10 games. So wait a second. So the quarterbacks that were with the Texans were TJ Yates in 2011, Matt Schaub, and Matt Leinart. Who the fuck's the other one? Who am I missing? Jeff Garcia. Did Jeff Garcia actually play a game for the Texans?

I don't know, but he was on the roster. No shit. I don't think he ever actually played. Well, he started 10 for the Browns in 2004. Yeah, Jeff Garcia would have been a good guess just all around because like Jeff Garcia hung around. Obviously his most success was with San

Francisco and then he went to the playoffs with the Birds and they fucking loved him because they hated Donovan McNabb, so they loved Jeff Garcia. Also in 2004 another guy started four games. His name starts with an L. Let's see L Lavandrius

Luke McCown Oh yeah well that one makes sense Now yeah my bad Now we're on to 2005 where this man started 11 games for the Browns What's his name start with T What's his last name start with?

D. Ty Detmer. Trent Dilfer. Okay. And then someone else started five games for the Browns that year. Give me their initials. I've never heard of this person. C.F.

Charlie Fry. There you go. I knew there was a Charlie. Ross, I knew there was a fucking Charlie. I knew it wasn't Charlie Batch. I could have swore Charlie Batch. It's almost like the Mandela effect. I believe Charlie Batch.

When I think of Charlie Batch, I think he played for the Browns, but he really played for the Lions and the Steelers, I guess. But I thought he played for the Browns. Can you tell me what teams Charlie Batch played for? C-H-A-R-L-I-E, not E-Y, B-A-T-C-H. I want to say Charlie Batch's main success came with the Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played college football for the Eastern Michigan Eagles, selected by the Detroit Lions. Most of his career was spent as a backup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Okay. And he never played for the Browns? He played for the Lions and the Steelers. That is truly a shocker. I would have thought that Charlie Batch would have played for the Browns, but what do I know? I'm a dipshit. Alright, so then Charlie Fry started five in 2005. He started

13 in 2006 until someone else came in and started three. I think that is when they would have, uh, no, they didn't. Oh,

wait. And then the same guy started 15 games in 2007. What are his initials? D A. D A. Black or white? I don't know. She doesn't know. His name is D A.

It's Dennis Allen. No, I think white. D A. Yeah, it's't know. His name is D.A. It's Dennis Allen. No, I think white. D.A. Yeah, it's definitely white. His name is, is his first name Dennis? No. Is his first name Doug? Nope.

Is his first name Daniel? No. Is his first name Devondrius? Nope. He started the three in 2006, 15 in 2007, and nine in 2008, and seven in 2009. Jeez. Boy. So, I'm going to hear this.

He's a notable backup. Shit. I'm going to think of this. Played for 14 seasons. Oh, shit. What other teams did he play for a lot notable backup he's played for ravens cardinals panthers bills i feel really stupid derrick anderson okay that makes sense. My bad, everybody. Then someone came in and started three games after Derek Anderson in 2008. It started nine in 2009. What are his initials?

BQ. Oh, Brady Quinn. They drafted Brady Quinn's ass. By the way, I saw Brady Quinn in the locker room when I was at the Sugar Bowl when LSU played him. That motherfucker was tall as shit. You didn't know I was going there, did you? You thought I was going to talk about his dick. But I'm classy.

That's Reggie Bush's dick that I saw, and it was ginormous. But I just saw him. He was fucking tall as shit. Dude had to have been like 6'7". Did we mention this guy already? Ken Dorsey? Oh, Ken Dorsey from Miami. No.

Okay, then there's another guy who started in 2008. One game and one game only for the Browns. BG. BG. I feel like there's no way you get this. Who else did he play for? I've got to look that up. BG. He started one game. Shit. Who else did he play for? I've got to look that up.

BG. He started one game. Shit. I feel so stupid. These are things I should know, Rossi. All 40 quarterbacks who started for the Browns? You're right. I probably shouldn't know that.

Honestly, if I knew that, I'd question myself. What kind of fucking loser knows the 40? You have to be a real never like, never seen a vagina dude to know 40 quarterbacks that were the starting quarterbacks for the Browns. This man is the current offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Battle Hawks. Who, by the way, tickets are on sale now. Go fill up the dome.

He played for the Buccaneers, the St. Louis Rams, the Browns, the Raiders, the Bengals, and the Steelers. Lord. I feel like I shouldn't. Oh, wait. Oh, oh. One game in 2008. One game he was a star.

What is the second letter of his last name r is his last name green what is the second letter of his first name r so. So it's B-R and G-R Brandon. Bruce Grodowski. Oh! Bruce Grodowski. Okay. My bad. We mentioned Colt McCoy. We mentioned Jake DeLome.

There was another guy who started four games in 2010. What are his initials, Jilly? S.W. Scott Weiland. Nope. Seneca Wallace. 2012, we mentioned Brandon Whedon.

But there was another guy who started one game. And one game only for the Browns. What was his initials, Jilly? T.L. Is his name Tyler? Thad Lewis. Oh, shit. Now, I apologize because Jason Campbell is-

Just when you think that your team has it fucked, just remember that we're talking about 40 fucking starting quarterbacks since 1999. That's like a starting quarterback and a half every fucking season for the last 25 years. And it culminates with who the fuck's starting this weekend? Bailey Zappi. Bailey fucking Zappi. So I apologize because Jason Campbell is in fact on this list. Yes, I knew Jason Campbell was on the list.

Thank you very much. I have totally redeemed myself. We mentioned Brian Hoyer. We mentioned Johnny Manziel. There's another guy who started two games in, I'm sorry, one game in 2014 after Brian Hoyer, after Johnny Manziel. CS. Is his name Curtis? Nope.

Is his name Charles? Connor Shaw. Jesus Christ. Again, like if you're in Houston and you're listening to this and you're like, God, we've really had some shitty quarterbacks. Just remember, you had Deshaun when he was good. You had Shaw when he was a Pro Bowl alternate. You've got fucking Homeboy now before he became terrible.

You've had some good quarterback play, like decent quarterback play. You're not the fucking Browns who, by the way, have to sit here and now watch Baker like ball. Like the Browns truly do have it. The just the ultimate worst. And Baker was their most consistent starter. He started all 16 in 2019, all 16 in 2020, and 14 in 2021. Anyway, back to this.

And lost a playoff game, if I recall, to Homeboy that was the backup for the Chiefs because Mahomes got hurt in that game, I believe. And they lost to, what's his name um oh the dude from the uh uh that played with the chad no not chad who am i who's their backup for those uh seasons chad chad hinney chad hinney yeah so we mentioned connor shaw we mentioned josh mccown ad started two games in 2015 What is his second letter of his first name? U. Austin And D is the last name? Second letter

A. Austin Damone Austin Davis Damn I knew it was close Did we mention Cody Kessler? Because he started Shit we didn't Was Cody Kessler? Because he started. Shit, we didn't. Was Cody Kessler a USC guy?

Yeah, okay, Cody Kessler. Then another quarterback started five games in 2016. What are his initials? It was supposed to be a huge deal. What are his initials? It's easy, RG. Robert Griffin III? Easy. RG. Robert Griffin III. Okay.

And you mentioned Deshaun Kaiser. Started 15 games in 2017. Yes, fuck. And then one guy started one game in 2017. Who the fuck is he? Kevin Hogan. Oh, Jesus Christ. Who are these people? Then there's Baker. Kevin Hogan? That sounds like Christ. Who are these people? Then there's Baker. Kevin Hogan.

That sounds like a dude who played at like Pitt. I don't know why I feel this way, but I don't know. I feel like Kevin Hogan, like that feels like a Pitt or Penn State quarterback. Like, hello, it's me, Kevin fucking Hogan. Where did Kevin Hogan go? Well, he's currently the professional football quarterback for the San Antonio Bramas. Oh, good for Kevin Hogan. He also played for the Texans.

Way to go, Kevin Hogan. At least he's been a member of the Texans, I should say. Like a practice squad or something? How about that? Good for you, Kevin Hogan. He went to Stanford. Oh, whatever. Fuck him.

There's more. Jesus Christ. This is absurd. Again, no one has it as bad than these poor fucking people in goddamn Cleveland. This guy started three games after Baker in 2018. Yeah. He's still around. So what's his name? T.T.

Tyler. Tyrod Taylor. That's what I meant. You mentioned Case Keenum.T. Tyler. Tyrod Taylor. That's what I meant. You mentioned Case Keenum. Yep. Another guy who started that year in 2021, Nick Mullins. Jesus fucking Christ, man. Then Jacoby Brissett, Deshaun Watson, and the two you didn't name from last year.
