Tim Couch
Couch was drafted No. 1 overall in 1999, the year the Browns came back into existence after a few years out of the league. He'd remain the starter for four years.
Ty Detmer
Detmer bookended the season, starting the first game in 1999 and the last game that same season, replacing an injured Couch.
Spergon Wynn
Doug Pederson replaced an injured Couch, who had a broken thumb. Pederson would himself go down with an injury, being replaced by Spergon Wynn for a start.
Tim Couch
All 16 starts in the 2001 season came courtesy of the former No. 1 overall pick. It would be the first and last time Couch would finish the season with all 16 starts under his belt.
Kelly Holcomb
Holcomb would start the first two games of the season. Couch would start the remaining 14, but break his leg in the final game of the season, leading to Holcomb starting a playoff game vs. the Steelers.
Kelly Holcomb
Holcomb would replace Couch as starter in 2003, leading to the end of the Couch era. Across 62 games, Couch would start 59, throwing 64 touchdowns to 67 interceptions between 1999 and 2003.
Kelly Holcomb
Garcia was signed to a four-year, $25 million deal, but would only play a single year with Cleveland. Garcia, of 49ers fame, replaced Holcomb as starter after the first two games of the season. It didn't go well — the Browns finished 4-12.
Charlie Frye
Finally, the Browns have a Super Bowl-winning quarterback. Dilfer was traded to the Browns during the offseason to mentor rookie passer Charlie Frye, who was selected in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft. Dilfer, though, had issues with offensive coordinator Maurice Carthon, leading to Frye starting the last five games of the 2005 season. It would be Dilfer's only year in Cleveland.
Derek Anderson
After a somewhat encouraging end to the 2005 season, Frye was named starter in 2006. He would miss three games with a wrist injury, opening the door for Derek Anderson's NFL debut. Anderson was a sixth-round pick of the Ravens the season prior.
Charlie Frye
Well, that didn't take long: Just minutes into the first game of the 2007 season, Frye was benched and replaced by Derek Anderson. Frye was then traded to the Seahawks following the game for a sixth-round pick. Anderson would take the reins and start 15 games for the Browns the remainder of the season. Rookie first-round pick Brady Quinn would see minimal action.
Bruce Gradkowski
This is where the fun (or pain) begins. There are QB carousels and then there's what happened with the 2008 Browns, starting four different passers during the season. A lot of that was due to injury: Brady Quinn, Ken Dorsey and Derek Anderson all ended the season on IR. Before that, though, Anderson was benched in favor of Quinn, who was then benched in favor of Anderson. Quinn would then miss the remainder of the season with a finger injury. Soon after, Anderson would suffer an MCL injury an...
