Over the course of Browns history, 59 quarterbacks have started a game. While more than half of those players have appeared since 1999, there were a number of productive players who appeared in earlier years, as well. In fact, the only quarterback in team history to make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for contributions made to the Browns was also their first—Otto Graham. Graham will certainly appear on this list, as well as a handful of others who led Cleveland to the playoffs and/or picked up individual honors.
When the Browns franchise was born in 1946, Graham was the strongest player on the team.
