AURORA, Ohio -- Who was the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback in the first game of the career of Joe Thomas?
The year was 2007. The left tackle was the Browns first-round pick.
The quarterback?
Charlie Frye.
He lasted one half, then was replaced by Derek Anderson in what became a 34-7 loss to Pittsburgh.
The Browns actually finished that season with a 10-6 record, the only winning mark in the 10-year career of Thomas.
A future Hall of Famer, Thomas has never missed a snap.
And by my count, he has played with 20 different starting quarterbacks.
