context_page_description: The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League as a member of the American Football Conference North division.
  Since joining the NFL in 1950, the Browns have had 57 quarterbacks start in at least one game for the team. Pro Football Hall of Fame member Otto Graham led the Browns to three NFL championships in their first six seasons in the league. Since resuming operations in 1999 after a three-year vacancy, the franchise has been notable for its futility at the quarterback position. From 1999 through week 4 of the 2018 season, the team had 30 players start at quarterback. Tim Couch, the Browns' first overall draft pick in 1999, was the only quarterback to start all 16 games in a season for the team during a 20-season span, having done so in 2001. The Browns had started more than one quarterback in 17 consecutive seasons, until Baker Mayfield started every game in 2019.
