Follow an NFL team long enough and you will see history continually repeat itself.
It was more than a decade ago that I first wrote about how the Cleveland Browns pursuit of a “veteran bridge QB” has been, with one exception, a bridge to nowhere.
Starting with Ty Detmer in 1999 and continuing through Jeff Garcia, Trent Dilfer, Jake Delhomme, Jason Campbell, Brian Hoyer, Robert Griffin III, and Josh McCown, the Browns have continually tried to bring in a veteran quarterback to hold it together while the latest rookie gets their act together.
