Analyzing the Cleveland Browns depth chart at Quarterback

Looking ahead to the 2019 season, we take an in-depth look at the different position groups for the Cleveland Browns. Here is a glance at the quarterbacks.

Since rejoining the NFL in 1999, the Cleveland Browns have been historically bad under center. Despite using several draft picks and countless free agency dollars on different options, their franchise leader continued to evade them.

Then during the 2018 offseason, general manager John Dorsey made sure to end the revolving door once and for all. He decided to cover both bases as he landed a veteran quarterback he felt was capable of starting for the short-term as well as finally using the no. 1 overall pick on a signal-caller.

That veteran he brought in as a bridge quarterback was Tyrod Taylor, who had just led the Buffalo Bills to the playoffs the year prior. In doing so, he ended the longest postseason drought in the league. In turn, that moved the Browns into first place in that undesirable statistic as they haven’t been to the playoffs since the 2002 NFL season.

Taylor was unable to tray and make it back-to-back seasons where he ended a long stretch of futility as he was only the starter for three weeks. After a tie against the Pittsburgh Steelers and a heartbreaking loss to the New Orleans Saints, Taylor was knocked out of action in Week 3.

With No. 5 heading to the sidelines with a concussion, in came the rookie, Baker Mayfield. From there, he captured the hearts of every fan as he helped them open up the Bud Light Victory Fridges on that Thursday Night Game. From there, his legend only grew as they ended up with a 7-8-1 record on the season.

Finally, with an unquestioned leader, the Cleveland quarterback room is no longer a laughingstock. Here, we will dig into the depth chart and see who is trying to make the roster behind the sophomore gunslinger.
