Nothing illustrates the dismal record of the last 17 years – only two winning seasons and one playoff game – better than the staggering number of starters the Browns have had at the most important position in pro sports.

He took himself out after throwing an incompletion in the fourth quarter.
Davis said the fear of failure drives him.
“Worst possible scenario for Josh”, Pettine said. If you need a backup QB for the stretch run, Davis should be the guy for the rest of the season.
“That is very unfortunate”. “I can’t emphasize enough the importance of the trust and the accountability piece”.
McCown was signed to a three-year deal to stabilize Cleveland’s wobbly quarterback situation.
Photos and videos of Manziel partying emerged following the team’s bye week, just a short time after Pettine named him the starter for the remainder of the season. Pettine said Pryor was brought back exclusively as a receiver but gives the team an “insurance policy” at quarterback….
At this point, the Browns may not have much to lose by going with Davis, even if he can’t get any wins.
The release stated that in eight starts and 10 overall appearances with the St. Louis Rams last season, Davis completed 180-of-284 passes for 2,001 yards, 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions. It also suggests the coach is experiencing pain comparable to a good kick in the shin.
While we don’t know which quarterback the Pittsburgh Steelers will face in Week 17 when they play the Cleveland Browns, we now know that it won’t be veteran Josh McCown.
Manziel was grounded last week for lying to coaching staff after the video of him in the nightclub emerged. Manziel had promised his coaches that he would not be a distraction and then became one anyway. He is leading the National Football League with a 129.5 rating on third down this year. The Browns officially placed him on IR Wednesday. “You’re poised for thrill of victory and then you’re tasting agony of defeat all within a span of 10 to 15 seconds”. “I was praying that we could get a block and it bounced my way and I took it to the end zone”.
Radio analyst Stan White told Mary Beth Marsden on Maryland’s News Now that the game also served as a proving ground for players the Ravens didn’t think would be making a difference at the season’s outset. He was limited by a hamstring injury but made the 53-man roster, only to be cut before the opener. On Monday, the Browns were without Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden as well as wide receivers Taylor Gabriel and Andrew Hawkins because of concussions.

Where the Browns turn next at quarterback is unclear, and Pettine was in no mood to discuss the decision the day after Cleveland lost on a game-ending blocked field goal return for a touchdown on “Monday Night Football”.
