Non-starters: new Browns QBs who didn't even make the jersey

Most sentient football fans by now have seen some version of the Browns jersey featuring the league's longest list of starting quarterbacks since 1999 -- a total of 22 names to date. But even longer than is the list of Browns quarterbacks who didn't get even a single start, at least not yet.

This litany of camp fodder, benchwarmers, and late-season emergency options now numbers 25, though when the second McCown in Browns QB history takes the field in Game 1, the balance between starters and non-starters will narrow to 23 to 24.
