Ranking The 20 Cleveland Browns Starting Quarterbacks Since 1999
January 14, 2014|Posted in: Browns
By: Matt Friedman (@friedmanmatt)
It's week three of the Browns search for a head coach, which has turned into a slow, excruciating process that feels too much like a Browns season. The highs (Jim Tressel is going to interview!) turn out to be a tease and the lows (These guys fired Chud without a clue as to who they wanted to hire!) just leave us knowingly shaking our heads. Since that topic has been covered exhaustively and it doesn't seem like there will be a hire anytime soon, let's take a break to talk about another area where Browns fans have seen a lot of turnover – and turnovers – since the franchise returned in 1999: the quarterback position.
Three years ago, I published a post on Bleacher Report called "Ranking The 15 Cleveland Browns Starting Quarterbacks Since 1999". That was published a few days before Colt McCoy became the 16th starting quarterback for the "new Browns". I wanted to breakdown all of the terrible quarterback play since the Browns returned, thinking that certainly things would get better sometime in the near future.
I was wrong. Three years later, the same issues have persisted and this season the Browns reached 20 starting quarterbacks since 1999 with Brian Hoyer and Jason Campbell joining the list. The funny thing is, as the Browns starting quarterbacks piled up this year, I started receiving email alerts from Bleacher Report that these rankings from three years ago were getting a lot of reads. People wanted to look at the pathetic list again. Then, I made this graphic leading up to Jason Campbell's first start showing the number of wins for each starting quarterback, which got passed around by Browns fans on twitter:
Obviously, it is a hot topic with people. Browns fans can't get enough of our depressing quarterback history. There is even the infamous jersey that is updated after each quarterback change with the last names of all of the team's quarterbacks since 1999 on the back of it:
With all of this information, I decided it is time for a new rankings list. The factors for the rankings include overall record, statistics and general effectiveness (or ineffectiveness). Part of it is simply my eye test; how did the quarterback make me feel when he was in the game? Was it hopeless or did the Browns actually seem to have a chance to win?
The rankings will first have an analysis of the QB's performance and then the player's career stats with the Browns. The stats will combine both starts and appearances as the backup. I would like to note that I tried to see if advanced stats like DYAR and DVOA from footballoutsiders.com would help; they didn't. Outside of Derek Anderson's magical 2007 season in which he ranked 10th in DYAR and 15th in DVOA, most Browns QB's ranked near the bottom of the league each season in the advanced statistical categories (no surprise there).
I'm not pretending to be an expert; I am just one person with an opinion, and want to use this as a starting point for debate. Feel free to debate the rankings in the comments section.
20. Ken Dorsey
There was no shortage of candidates for last place on this list, but in a close battle, Dorsey takes the cake for worst Browns starting quarterback since 1999.
Dorsey started three games for the Browns in 2008, as the third different starter that season. He was 0-3 as the starter and led the Browns' offense to a grand total of 19 points in Weeks 14 through 16 combined.
He never looked comfortable in the Browns offense and either threw the ball to a check-down receiver or to the opposing team. Dorsey threw seven interceptions and no touchdowns with the Browns. SEVEN INTERCEPTIONS AND NO TOUCHDOWNS!
Dorsey was released after the season and was never signed by another NFL team. He played for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL in 2010, but wasn't even good enough to start there, and served as backup quarterback.
Dorsey's Stats: 0-3 Record, completed 47%, 370 yards (4.0 Yards Per Attempt), 0 TD, 7 INT, 26.4 rating
19. Bruce Gradkowski
It's hard to put Gradkowski here because he only made one start in a tough situation, but his lone Browns start was so terrible that he left me no choice.
Gradkowski was picked up off the street late in the 2008 season and started in Week 17 at Pittsburgh. He was the fourth quarterback to start a game for the Browns that season.
In a 31-0 loss, Gradkowski was 5-for-16 with 18 yards and two interceptions. His quarterback rating was 1.0.
It just doesn't get much worse than that. He might have been thrown into an impossible situation, but he played impossibly bad for an NFL player. Gradkowski went on to start eight games for Oakland from 2009-2010, and posted a 3-5 record with halfway respectable numbers, at least compared to what he did with the Browns.
I will admit that these rankings are skewed toward 2008, which considering the expectations and circumstances – coming off of a 10-6 season in 2007 – may have been the most frustrating Browns season since they returned to the league.
Oddly enough, you can win a bet by asking your buddies who the backup to Big Ben in Pittsburgh is: Gradkowski was rewarded for his veteran backup status with a three-year deal from the Steelers last spring.
Gradkowski's Stats: 0-1, 33%, 26 yards (1.2 YPA), 0 TD, 2 INT, 2.8 rating
18. Spergon Wynn
Like Gradkowski, Wynn also started just one game for the Browns, coming in 2000. In Week 14 of that season at Jacksonville, Wynn led the Browns offense in a shutout effort in a 48-0 loss.
Wynn also appeared in seven games that season as the backup, and the results were not much better. The rookie had a cannon of a right arm, but no idea of how to control it, leading to a barrage of misguided lasers.
Unlike some of the other castoffs on this list, Wynn was unable to move on and find success elsewhere. In fact, he appeared in three games and made two starts for the Vikings in 2001 – with similarly poor results – and was never heard from again.
Wynn's Stats: 0-1, 40.7%, 167 yards (3.1 YPA), 0 TD, 1 INT, 41.2 rating
17. Luke McCown
"Luuuuuuuuke!" is what Browns fans chanted during their short-lived love affair with McCown, the third-string quarterback in 2004.
McCown was 0-4 as the Browns starter and led the offense to just 29 points combined in those four starts. To be fair, he was just a rookie, but his ineffectiveness led Browns fans to order extra Christmas Ales at the bar to drown out the game.
The less-famous brother of Josh McCown – who had success backing up Jay Cutler in Chicago this season – Luke just completed his eight season as an NFL backup. Don't believe me? Take a second to guess who he backs up. All I have to say is Saints fans are fortunate Drew Brees didn't get seriously injured this season.
McCown's Stats: 0-4, 49%, 608 yards (6.2 YPA), 4 TD, 7 INT, 52.6 rating
16. Doug Pederson
Pederson took over after Tim Couch's shoulder injury halfway through the 2000 season and it was a disaster. He was so horrible that wide receivers Kevin Johnson and Dennis Northcutt took some snaps at quarterback in an early and ugly version of the Wildcat.
Sadly enough, I remember being excited about the prospect of Kevin Johnson – converted to wide receiver at Syracuse after losing a quarterback competition to Donovan McNabb – take some snaps. "Lets see what this guy can do" seems to be a theme of this list and Browns' fans optimism to this day.
Pederson was a longtime Brett Favre backup in Green Bay and should have provided some experience and stability, but instead the Browns were 1-7 and suffered two shutouts during his time as the starter. The offense was limited to 8.3 points per game in those eight contests.
Pederson returned to Green Bay the next season and enjoyed four more years of collecting a paycheck behind Favre. He is currently the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, who suffered a very Browns-like loss in the playoffs to the Colts this year.
Pederson's Stats: 1-7, 55.7%, 1,047 yards (5.0 YPA), 2 TD, 8 INT, 56.6 rating
15. Ty Detmer
Detmer started the first and last games of the re-born Browns season in 1999, both losses. He also came in off the bench in three other losses during that historic 2-14 season.
Fans who had been anxiously waiting three years for the Browns to return to the field are still traumatized by Detmer and the Browns' performance in Week 1, a 43-0 loss to the Steelers at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Fourteen seasons later, the Browns and their fans still haven't recovered from falling flat out of the gate.
Detmer was 6-for-13 for 52 yards with an interception in that game. By the way, the Steelers were only 6-10 that season, yet they still demolished the Browns in that opener. Cleveland did get revenge in Week 10 at Pittsburgh, winning on a last-second field goal by Phil Dawson.
Detmer was supposed to provide an experienced veteran that would groom young Tim Couch and take the lumps for the inexperienced team early in the season. Instead, he was so bad in that first game that head coach Chris Palmer had to start the rookie Couch in Week 2.
Many Browns fans believe that the battering Couch took in that first season left him scarred and played a significant role in his failure to develop into a franchise quarterback in the NFL. Detmer's career ended following two seasons as a backup in Detroit.
Detmer's Stats: 0-2, 51.6%, 548 yards (6.0 YPA), 4 TD, 2 INT, 75.7 rating
14. Jake Delhomme
Here we have yet another washed up quarterback that was brought in to provide a veteran presence. Has anybody ever considered that "veteran leadership" and "grooming young quarterbacks" might be overrated? It sure hasn't treated the Browns well.
He looked like the 35-year-old has-been veteran that he was. It always appeared that he was playing the game in slow motion. Some of his decision-making was baffling, especially for a guy who led his Carolina Panthers team to the Super Bowl in 2003. Most Browns fans either remember or will choose to forget this falling-down-sidearm pass that he threw in Week 1 that was intercepted and essentially cost the Browns the game at Tampa Bay.
I'm going to go ahead and say that it was even worse than Brandon Weeden's underhand flip pass from this season. The Browns led 14-3 late in the first half, and that play completely turned the tide of the game as the Bucs came back to win 17-14.
What I didn't realize until now was just how bad Delhomme was in 2009 with the Panthers before the Browns signed him. The Panthers had released him and were paying him $12 million in 2010 to be someone else's quarterback. That's because in 2009, he was 4-7 with a 55.5% completion rate, eight touchdowns, 18 interceptions and a 59.4 rating. What were the Browns thinking?
Delhomme lasted just four starts with the Browns and played one season as a backup in Houston before mercifully calling it quits.
Delhomme's Stats: 2-2, 62%, 872 yards (5.9 YPA), 2 TD, 7 INT, 63.4 rating
13. Brandon Weeden
Where do you even start with Weeden? The former minor league baseball player was selected in the first round, 22nd overall in the 2012 draft by the regime of Tom Heckert and Mike Holmgren at the age of 28.
The age was already a red flag to most fans, because how could they reasonably expect someone to be the quarterback of the future when they are almost old enough to get an AARP card and eat the early bird special? In all seriousness, I felt at the time that if he performed well, the age wouldn't matter. Six or seven good years of the elderly quarterback would be a lot better than one or two years of a bad, young quarterback or washed-up veteran that Browns fans are used to. Unfortunately, it turned out Weeden was both old and bad, and his Browns career, if not NFL career, is now over after two seasons.
Weeden was drafted high for his big arm, but that arm has the touch of a guy trying to shoot hoops after lifting weights. His intermediate and deep balls are overthrown and his screen passes have too much zip on them. He can't move in the pocket and can't get rid of the ball. He also can't read a defense and locks in on his primary target. If that guy isn't open, forget about progressions; it's either a forced throw or a sack. Did I cover it all?
I know that some may be wondering why I didn't place Weeden dead last on this list. Based on the expectations from his draft positioning alone, Weeden is definitely among the biggest busts on this list. He is probably the most frustrating guy on this list and the one who made you want to gouge your eyes out the most. In my mind, that still doesn't make him the worst quarterback on this list when you look at some of the numbers we have seen so far.
Weeden's Stats: 5-15, 55.9%, 5,116 yards (6.5 YPA), 23 TD, 26 INT, 71.8 rating
12. Brady Quinn
Browns fans were surprised and ecstatic when Quinn dropped to Cleveland with the 22nd pick in the 2007 Draft. Quinn spent his time in Cleveland showing why so many teams passed on him.
The Browns were actually interested in taking Quinn 3rd overall, but made one of the few smart draft decisions in recent history by taking future Hall Of Fame offensive tackle Joe Thomas instead. They then traded back into the late first round after everyone else passed on Quinn. Imagine how much bigger of a flop the Quinn selection would have been if the Browns took him third.
Despite losing annual quarterback competitions with Derek Anderson in training camp, Quinn was always the fan-favorite in Cleveland. Browns fans chanted "Brady! Brady!" and believed that the product of Notre Dame who grew up a Browns fan would be the franchise quarterback the Browns had been searching for. There is nothing more intoxicating to Browns fans than one of our own getting the chance to lead the team to a Super Bowl.
Instead of becoming a franchise savior, Quinn was 3-9 as the Browns starting quarterback and will be remembered for his legendary check-downs. Rarely looking down the field, Quinn didn't pan out and was traded to the Broncos after the 2009 season. Interestingly enough, the Browns made out like a bandits in receiving Peyton Hillis in that trade. However, like all good things in Cleveland, Hillis' success lasted one season and a Madden cover before it all came crashing down.
Some may argue that due to a lot of quarterback flip-flopping from Romeo Crennel and then Eric Mangini after him, Quinn never really got the chance to prove himself as a consistent starter. Well, the Chiefs gave him that opportunity in 2012, and he responded with a 1-7 record, two touchdowns, eight picks and a 60.1 rating.
Quinn's Stats: 3-9, 52%, 1,902 yards (5.4 YPA), 10 TD, 9 INT, 66.8 rating
11. Charlie Frye
"Charlie! Charlie!"
Boy do Browns fans love their backup quarterbacks in Cleveland, especially if he grew up a Browns fan, like Frye did.
Just like Quinn, Frye drew the admiration of Browns fans and the hope that he would get into the game. And when he did finally get the chance, he showed that he wasn't worthy of starting games in the NFL.
Frye's career in Cleveland ended in 2007 after suffering a 34-7 loss to the Steelers in Week 1. He was traded to Seattle early the next week. He started four more games between Seattle and Oakland, and was out of the league following the 2009 season.
It is baffling to think that he started 18 games as a Browns quarterback, which ranks fifth on this list. I can't even think of any more analysis to add about Frye; he was about as forgettable a quarterback as there has been in this miserable stretch.
Wait, I lied. I do remember the fact that anytime he tried to throw down the field, the ball floated like a balloon. Also, there were those guys who wore the "Charlie's Fryes" costumes.
Here's a hint to Browns fans: just because a guy grew up cheering for the Browns doesn't mean he will magically play like Peyton Manning. That only happens in movies. When Brady Quinn or Charlie Frye dropped back to pass, they had to read the coverage and worry about the gigantic pass-rushers bearing down on them. They didn't have time to think "I'm doing this for Cleveland, so I'm going to give it my all!"
Frye's Stats: 5-13, 63%, 3,490 yards (6.2 YPA), 14 TD, 23 INT, 71.2 rating
10. Jeff Garcia
Garcia was brought to Cleveland as the latest franchise savior in 2004, and to nobody's surprise, it didn't work out.
The four-time Pro Bowler still had the ability to scramble around and make some throws, but was generally ineffective. He was 34 years old and had shown signs of declining in his previous season with San Francisco.
The low-light of the season came in Garcia's second start, Week 2 in Dallas. He managed to go 8-for-27 for 71 yards, three interceptions, no touchdowns and a 0.0 rating. That qualifies as the worst start from a Browns quarterback ever.
Garcia also battled injury and was eventually replaced by Kelly Holcomb and later Luke McCown. He managed to start games in a variety of other places over the next four years, and actually played closer to his talent level with the 49ers. His career ended following the 2011 season at the age of 41.
Where this thing really gets disturbing is that Garcia called the Browns this season in the midst of their quarterback injuries and offered to come try out. Thankfully, at the age of 43, he wasn't given the opportunity (or so we think).
Garcia's Stats: 3-7, 57%, 1,731 yards (6.9 YPA), 10 TD, 9 INT, 76.7 rating
9. Seneca Wallace
Wallace was just 1-6 in his starts between 2010 and 2011, but actually kept the Browns somewhat competitive. Six of the seven games were decided by seven points or less.
He first became the Browns' starter in 2010 following Jake Delhomme's Week 1 ankle injury.
Wallace was more of a "game manager" who didn't make many big mistakes but also didn't post big numbers. Of course, in his fourth start in Week 5 against Atlanta, he suffered a high ankle sprain and didn't start another game that year.
In 2011, Wallace was the backup to Colt McCoy; but this is Cleveland where the starter always gets hurt. So, he took over from Week 14-16 and was underwhelming.
A career backup, Wallace did what he could with his limited abilities. He threw for no more than 229 yards in any game. Basically, I'm putting this guy ahead of a bunch of others because while he wasn't good, he also wasn't downright awful. I need a drink.
Wallace's Stats: 1-6, 57%, 1,261 yards (6.1 YPA), 6 TD, 4 INT, 76.6 rating
8. Jason Campbell
Campbell was brought in as the Browns second-string quarterback to Brandon Weeden in 2013. However, when Weeden suffered an injured thumb, the Browns decided to pass over Campbell and go with third-stringer Brian Hoyer to start Week 3. Hoyer suffered a torn ACL in Week 5 and the Browns went back to a healthy Weeden. Weeden started Week 6 and 7, and played like Brandon Weeden, including a ghastly 48.6 rating against the porous Green Bay defense.
Finally, Campbell got his chance in Week 8 at Kansas City. Fans thought perhaps he had checked out and would be mediocre due to the fact the Browns had passed him up when Weeden got hurt earlier in the season. However, Campbell proved everybody wrong with a sparkling effort, going 22-for-36 with 293 yards, two touchdowns, no picks and a 105.4 rating. Of course, it was in a loss, but it was encouraging.
He came back with an even better effort the next week, leading the Browns to a win over Baltimore, snapping an 11-game losing streak against the Ravens. The excitement over beating the Ravens and jumping back into the playoff hunt led to some people getting carried away, including Plain Dealer Browns' beat writer Mary Kay Cabot, who wrote an article in which she called Jason Cambpell "an elite NFL quarterback capable of taking a team to the playoffs and possibly a Super Bowl."
Even the most loyal Browns fans shook their heads at that one. You're telling me that two good games makes a quarterback elite? Has that become the standard in a town so snake-bitten by bad quarterback play?
Anyway, as you can imagine, that was the kiss of death for Mr. Elite. In one of the Browns' biggest games since returning in 1999 – with the "P-word" being thrown around in Cleveland – Campbell threw three picks as an offensive and special teams disaster led to a 31 second-quarter points for the Bengals in a 41-20 loss.
Campbell posted several less-than-elite outings after that and finished the season 1-7 as a starter. He had one other excellent game at the Patriots, but…let's not even talk about that game. In his three stellar starts against Kansas City, Baltimore and New England, Campbell posted eight touchdowns and no interceptions. In his other five starts combined: three touchdowns, eight interceptions.
Outside of a couple of games that stirred up some excitement, Campbell proved why he has been an average-to-mediocre quarterback throughout his career.
Campbell's Stats: 1-7, 56.8%, 2,015 yards (6.4 YPA), 11 TD, 8 INT, 76.9 rating
7. Thaddeus Lewis
Lewis got the start in the Browns 2012 finale after both Weeden and McCoy had been knocked out by injuries. Despite a 24-10 loss by the Browns in Pittsburgh, Lewis looked promising.
According to Tom Reed of the Plain Dealer: "(Weeden) didn't play yet still managed to look bad given the way Lewis moved the offense. The third-stringer made many crisp throws and quick decisions in finishing with a 83.3 passer rating against the league's top-rated defense. He didn't have a single pass batted or deflected. He was especially good at hitting receivers on slants and locating tight end Ben Watson over the middle."
Lewis was 22-for-32 with 204 passing yards, a touchdown and an interception. For whatever reason, this led to the Browns new regime releasing Lewis the following spring.
Since then, Lewis was picked up by another quarterback-hungry team in the Bills and has been a decent backup for them, posting a 2-3 record and 81.0 rating in four games.
Lewis' Stats: 0-1, 69%, 204 yards (6.4 YPA), 1 TD, 1 INT, 83.3 rating
6. Colt McCoy
I have been itching to write this review ever since I first wrote that ranking of Browns quarterbacks prior to his first career start. Colt was a polarizing quarterback in Cleveland because at times he showed flashes of brilliance that really made fans believe he was the one they had been waiting for. There are fans in Cleveland (Colt's Cult, I call them) who wish he was still the starting quarterback. At other times, he wasn't so great. Everything in between was injuries, which was unfortunately not shocking for a quarterback listed at 6-foot-2 and 209 pounds who certainly looked smaller than that.
Selected in the third round of the 2010 Draft, McCoy was supposed to sit behind Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace. However, he was pressed into action due to injuries, facing a no-win situation in his first career start at Pittsburgh in Week 6. To everyone's surprise, he was impressive in a 28-10 loss, going 23-for-33 with 281 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions for an 80.5 rating. Then, the Browns pulled stunning upsets of New Orleans and New England in back-to-back games. While Colt didn't have as big of an impact on those games, he did show some promise and got the fan base excited. He wrapped up the season with six touchdowns, nine picks and a 74.5 quarterback rating.
Colt entered 2011 as the Browns starting quarterback. In Week 1 against the Bengals, he made this remarkable throw to Mohamed Massaquoi that made me believe he just might be "The One." Rolling to his right under pressure, Colt launched a ball while falling to the ground that traveled 50 yards in the air right to Massaquoi. One of the biggest questions about McCoy was his arm strength, but that throw showed it wasn't an issue.
After losing the opener, McCoy posted a 97.3 rating in a win at Indianapolis and then led the Browns to a home win over Miami. The hype was building but Colt's efforts were inconsistent. I guess that should be expected from a second-year player, but with the understandable impatience of Browns fans and the win-now mentality of the NFL, young quarterbacks are no longer granted the two or three-year window to develop. It is win now or sit on the bench.
Colt's season came to an abrupt end in Week 14 when he was absolutely destroyed by a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit from James Harrison. The Browns training staff then fumbled the handling of it by placing a concussed McCoy back in the game two plays later. This led to Colt's dad ripping the Browns publicly for putting Colt back in and also brought the issue of player health back into the national spotlight.
The next season, Brandon Weeden was drafted and replaced McCoy as the starting quarterback. Colt was difficult to rank because he was an "if" guy. "If" he stayed healthy and "if" he had better talent around him, you could see the potential for him being a competent starter. However, there was enough evidence of both bad games and injuries that I couldn't put him any higher on the list.
He made three backup appearances in 2012 and now is the backup for Colin Kaepernick in San Francisco.
McCoy's Stats: 6-15, 58.3%, 4,388 yards (6.3 YPA), 21 TD, 20 INT, 74.8 rating
5. Trent Dilfer
Like countless others on this list, Dilfer was brought in to be a veteran presence and failed. Yet, he still made number five on this list of 20 quarterbacks; that tells a sad story in itself.
The Pro Bowler and Super Bowl-winning quarterback was a shell of his former self as the Browns quarterback in 2005. Dilfer also did not see eye-to-eye with offensive coordinator Maurice Carthon, which only made things worse.
This pulls out another flawed piece of thinking from the Browns and other NFL teams. Dilfer, who seems like a pretty heady football guy when you see him or hear him on ESPN and ESPN Radio, was at least in part brought to Cleveland as a 33-year-old "mentor" for young quarterback Charlie Frye. In his own mind, Dilfer wanted to come to Cleveland to be the starting quarterback and win football games, and probably wasn't too worried about training a guy to replace him.
Tell me, how many veteran QB's really care about mentoring younger counterparts? Somebody give me an example of a time this worked out perfectly, with a star quarterback in the league now singing the praises of some veteran mentor that they learned from. Nobody? That's ok, I can't think of any either.
Dilfer was 4-7 during the 2005 season. When you compare his numbers to a lot of the quarterbacks so far, he wasn't so bad. He actually posted a slightly better rating (76.9-76.6) in 2005 than he did in his 2000 Super Bowl season with the Ravens. As hard as it is to believe, he was actually nearly a league-average quarterback in 2005. Dilfer played for one more year with San Francisco in 2007, posting a 1-5 record and 55.1 rating.
Dilfer's Stats: 4-7, 60%, 2,321 yards (7.0 YPA), 11 TD, 12 INT, 76.9 rating
4. Brian Hoyer
So many quarterbacks on this list were hyped as the "savior" of the franchise over the years. Hoyer was not one of those. He was brought in for the Week 3 game at Minnesota in place of Weeden, who had suffered a thumb injury in a Week 2 loss to Baltimore.
Browns fans were still trying to overcome the shock of the Trent Richardson trade to Indianapolis, and figured the move indicated the Browns were tanking to set up draft position for 2014. That move, combined with the fact head coach Rob Chudzinski was passing up backup quarterback Jason Campbell in favor of the third-stringer, made fans feel that it was another lost season.
Then, Hoyer stunned everybody outside of the Browns headquarters by leading the Browns to a game-winning drive, capped by a touchdown pass to Jordan Cameron with 51 seconds left. He looked more than competent, was poised in the huddle and in the pocket, and got rid of the ball quickly and on target. What a concept! He even threw for three touchdowns in the game, something that Weeden never did in 19 starts.
The next week, Hoyer marched the Browns down the field on 91- and 95-yard touchdown drives in a 17-6 win over the Bengals, and suddenly the tanking for the draft talk turned into "we're going to the Super Bowl!" Browns fans were feeling euphoric heading into a Thursday night matchup against Buffalo, in which a win would put them in first place alone in the AFC North.
Then, Cleveland happened. After scrambling from the pocket for a nice run in the first quarter, Hoyer took an awkward slide while getting hit helmet-to-helmet (no call, of course) and went down in pain. While the result wasn't official until the next day, every Browns fan knew what it was: a torn ACL. Out for the season. Despite a big win over Buffalo, Browns fans sensed the magic was about to end – and they were right.
I know it's difficult to place Hoyer this high on the list after only two full games, but take another look at the rest of the list. Who else could you really move up? There is also the reality that we saw a small sample size; if Jason Campbell got hurt after his first two starts, I would have ranked him very highly as well. We have to see what Hoyer can do in more games, but I would argue the leadership and poise that he showed was unlike anything we have seen from a Browns quarterback since Bernie Kosar.
Despite going 3-0 as a starter, Hoyer could return to backup status next season after the Browns draft the next "quarterback of the future." I would hope and think the Browns will give him a shot to compete for the starting job since Michael Lombardi is such a big fan of his. Hoyer is not an outstanding quarterback, but he looked above average for the Browns, and it's amazing how much of a difference that can make. Read that sentence again and try not to be depressed.
Hoyer's Stats: 3-0, 59%, 615 yards (6.41 YPA), 5 TD, 3 INT, 82.6 rating
3. Derek Anderson
I know that Anderson has since proven to be nearly as bad as the others on this list, but unlike the others, he did make a Pro Bowl. In my first ranking of Browns QB's three years ago, I ranked Anderson No. 1. I have since realized that was a big mistake.
While he posted spectacular numbers in 2007 and had the best season for a Browns QB since the team returned in 1999, he spent his final two seasons with the Browns making that look like a fluke. In 2007 he was handed an outstanding season by running back Jamal Lewis (1,304 yards) and once-in-a-lifetime 1,000-yard seasons from Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow Jr. He was surrounded by more talent on offense than anyone on this list, and that is what elevated him – it wasn't the other way around.
In that 2007 season, D.A. threw for nearly 3,800 yards, and had 29 touchdowns with just 19 interceptions, cementing my man-crush on him. Anderson also led the Browns to the brink of the playoffs (although he helped them miss it with his awful performance against the Bengals in Week 16).
In his three seasons with the Browns outside of 2007, Anderson threw 17 touchdowns and 26 interceptions. It is entirely possible that I have him ranked too high, even though I dropped him from No. 1 to No. 3. However, you have to give the guy some of the credit for that 2007 season, which no other recent Browns quarterback has come close to.
Anderson's Stats: 16-18, 53%, 7,083 yards (6.4 YPA), 46 TD, 45 INT, 70.0 rating
2. Kelly Holcomb
This was a tough call, because I can see Holcomb being ranked anywhere from No. 1 through No. 5 on this list. Kelly was the first in a long line of Browns backup quarterbacks that became the "most popular guy in Cleveland." Due to the ineffectiveness of so many starting QB's, the backup is always beloved.
When Holcomb did get his opportunities, he at times appeared more effective than Tim Couch and was the starting quarterback for the Browns in their lone playoff game since re-birth, at Pittsburgh in the 2002 season.
He set an NFL record with 429 yards in that postseason game at Pittsburgh, and had the Browns out to a 17-point third-quarter lead, which they blew of course.
After a quarterback competition between he and Couch in 2003, Holcomb won the starting job going into the season. This is where I forgot that Holcomb really wasn't that great as a full-time starter. Couch actually outplayed Holcomb in 2003, when they each made eight starts:
Couch: 3-5, 59.1%, 1,319 yards (6.5 YPA), 7 TD, 6 INT, 77.6 rating
Holcomb: 2-6, 63.9%, 1,797 yards (6.0 YPA), 10 TD, 12 INT, 74.6 rating
Holcomb still gets a high ranking because of the epic playoff performance (albeit in a loss) and because he did have some great spot starts in 2002 and 2004. But it wasn't enough to put him past the next guy.
Holcomb's Stats: 4-9, 64%, 3,438 yards (6.8 YPA), 26 TD, 21 INT, 83.3 rating
1. Tim Couch
The numbers are not pretty. He was projected to be a franchise quarterback and Pro Bowler, and maybe even a Hall of Famer.
Tim Couch was none of those, but he started the most games (59) for the Browns and had the most wins (22) among any of the quarterbacks on this list. He suffered with a new franchise and was surrounded by terrible athletes.
Couch also was instrumental to the 2002 team that made the playoffs, still the only Browns playoff appearance since returning. He led three fourth-quarter comebacks and four game-winning drives (fourth quarter or later) during that season to push the Browns into the postseason.
I know that before researching for this, I falsely assumed that Kelly Holcomb made a lot of starts in 2002, when in fact it was mostly Couch. While Holcomb did start the playoff contest due to an injury to Couch, No. 2 was 8-6 as a starter during the regular season.
Browns fans will never forget that Couch threw not one, but two game-winning Hail Mary passes. One came in 1999 at New Orleans, giving the Browns their first win since rebirth. This one in 2002 at Jacksonville helped rekindle the Browns' playoff hopes; a loss in that game would have kept them out of the postseason.
Overall, Tim Couch was a bust of a No. 1 draft pick, and one of the biggest busts of all-time. At the same time, Couch was never in a position to succeed in Cleveland, and his career ended very early due to injury. The guy was bruised and battered to the tune of 166 sacks in 62 NFL games. Browns fans even cheered when he suffered a concussion in 2002 and was still lying on the field, which brought him to tears after the game.
I know it seems like I'm making excuses for him, but time and seeing so much terrible quarterback play in Cleveland has really softened my stance on Couch. He put up numbers that were comparable to most of the other quarterbacks on this list, and he did it with the worst talent around him. Taking all of this into consideration, I bumped him up from No. 3 in 2010 to No. 1 this year.
Couch also did something that nobody else on this list has done: lead his team to the playoffs. He was far from a great quarterback, and probably not even a decent quarterback. Unfortunately, these rankings are not determined by which quarterback was better than the others: rather, it is decided by who was less bad.
Couch's Stats: 22-37, 60%, 11,131 yards (6.5 YPA), 64 TD, 67 INT, 75.1 rating

Thoughtful and interesting read. Didn't see anything I would want to protest. A thing I've seen a couple of places to add is the role confidence seems to play. What I read was about McCoy's, Quinn's and Couch's confidence being lost somewhere along the way from their start to their Cleveland finish. You cited McCoy's early games, and I do seem to recall Quinn did good enough in his first couple of games that Crennel named him his next season's starter before being fired — and all the early excitement of the Browns 2 wins that first year ended up with a lot of the fans wanting wins and Couch and the cheering and the crying and Holcomb. I guess that's all what if and, so, irrelevant, but it does suggest the team keeps getting it wrong and doesn't develop QBs, but beats them up and knocks them down and kicks dirt in their faces.
But, your most important point (and most hopeful) was what Hoyer's couple of games reminded all of us — what professional QB play looks like and what a difference it can make!

The list is very accurate. Its amazing that Hoyer makes the top 5 with only a few games started. I will be curious to see if he gets the starts next year if he is healthy.

50 year fan now retired in Fl. The league changed along time ago. Any of these qbs could have win "back in the day" because the browns had the best RBs and O lines in league.
I'll always cheer for the orange helmets in spite of my gut feeling the Browns won't relive the glory days. I think we should all be concerned about the new owner.
January 16, 2014
This list shows just how bad we have done in trying to bring a quality (let alone a franchise) qb to Cleveland. This explains why we have had so little success over the last 14 years. Most of these guy would not even qualify as quality back up NFL qb's.
January 16, 2014
Fantastic writing and, as far as I'm concerned, about 100% on the money. "Shooting hoops after lifting weights" definitely made me laugh. Well done, sir. Way to find the levity in suffering.
January 16, 2014
Oh my goodness, this was a great article! I had my husband rank his top 20, so it was interesting to compare. We got a few good laughs and some better insight on our former quarterbacks.
We can only imagine the emotions you had to relive to come up with this list.

It makes you wonder what a couple of these QB's could have done with a surrounding cast, especially Couch!
January 17, 2014
Excellent article Matt! Well written, with that sad and different twist that only us true Cleveland fans can understand. I'm in my 46th year as a fan and as we all know, it's been a long, hard struggle. Through it all, we maintain that hope that we will someday see our beloved Browns hoist the trophy after a Super Bowl win. I can honestly say that the current situation we are facing is definitely one of the most intriguing we've faced, and Lord knows we have seen our share of dilemmas! I still cling to the hope that our current owner and his regime had some sort of plan in place when they so hastily fired Chud, and it will play out as a well laid plan in the end. (Reference: the T. Rich Trade) As the days slowly pass, it's becoming much harder to hang on to that belief, as I'm running out of scenarios in my worn out Cleveland fan mind…
January 18, 2014
I too have come to the realization that somehow Tim Couch was/is the best QB the Browns have had since the reincarnation. Thanks for some of the memories as well… I think I had blocked out of my memory some of the truly epic bad games that I've watched Browns QB's play. I can laugh at it now, at the time I wanted to put my foot through the TV.

You guys forgot Kevin Johnson. Started against Indy. Ranks higher than half these losers.

Your ranking of Couch at #1 is on the money.
Just think how you would have felt when Couch left the Browns, if someone would have told you, "You won't see a better QB in a Browns uniform for at least another 10 years". How depressing.
April 10, 2014
Couch was NOT a bust. He was BUSTED up. They gave him absolutely nothing. No great receiver or running back, and a porous offensive line. You don't draft a classic drop back QB, then draft nothing but DLs & LBS afterwords. Name ONE offensive lineman that they drafted high during Couch's tenure. I thought not.

Wheel bearings have been used for years, on everything from skateboards to cars, but vehicles have changed a lot over the years and so have their wheel bearings.
So how do you know if you need new wheel bearings? Having your mechanic check them twice a year is a good thing to do, even if you have not had any problems. They can tell if there is excessive play in the bearings, which is an indication that the bearing is getting worn out.
Also, if you are hearing a nonstop growling noise as you are driving down the road, many times that is an indication that a wheel bearing is worn out and needs to be replaced.
How important is it to get worn out wheel bearings replaced? Think about it, all of the weight of the vehicle rests on the four tires. So all of that weight is also on the four wheel bearings. Having a wheel bearing completely fail can lead to you losing control of the vehicle as you are driving down the road. Obviously that's not a good thing.
In the old days, cars had simple wheel bearings that were fairly easy to service and replace. Mechanics had to pack them full of grease every so often to keep them lubricated and even when they wore out over time they were not that expensive to replace.
Then cars started to change. Front-wheel drive cars came along and wheel bearings started to evolve. Instead of simple wheel bearings that could be removed and serviced very easily, automakers started making hub assemblies. There are parts related to the antilock brake system built into many of them and the wheel bearing is buried deep inside the hub assembly. There is no way to lubricate the wheel bearing inside many of the hub assemblies, so there is not much maintenance that can be done to make them last longer.
On some hub assemblies, the wheel bearing can be removed from the hub and replaced, but it is still pretty expensive to do that. On many others you have to replace the entire hub assembly and it can cost hundreds of dollars to replace!
So if you are hearing a growling noise coming from your vehicle, you might have a wheel bearing problem. Get it in and get it checked out before you break down or you might be riding that skateboard to work.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
WICHITA, Kan. — The two Republicans vying for the south-central Kansas congressional seat traded barbs at their first face-to-face forum.
Congressman Mike Pompeo told the Wichita Crime Commission on Monday he's on a mission in Washington to shrink the size and scope of government. He says he believes deeply in the private sector.
Former congressman Todd Tiahrt said he's challenging Pompeo in the August primary to reclaim his old seat because he cannot sit by and watch all the hard work he did in Washington deteriorate. He cited what he called the "train wreck" in Washington caused by lawmakers who can't get along with each other.
Tiahrt represented the 4th Congressional District for 16 years before giving it up in 2010 for an unsuccessful campaign for Senate.
Previous story:
The two contenders for the Republican nomination in Kansas' 4th Congressional District are facing off at their first joint public event.
Congressman Mike Pompeo and his challenger, former Congressman Todd Tiahrt, were scheduled to participate Monday in a political forum hosted by the Wichita Crime Commission.
Pompeo is running for a third term from the Wichita-area district. Tiahrt represented the district for 16 years before giving up the U.S. House seat in 2010 for an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate.
Both candidates have pointed fingers at each other concerning pre-primary meetings. Tiahrt accused Pompeo of dodging several debates and forums, and demanding all candidates appear without notes or notebooks. Pompeo accused Tiahrt of a slow response to a five-debate challenge.
They're the only two Republicans vying in the Aug. 5 primary. Perry Schuckman is unopposed in the Democratic primary; he apparently will not attend the forum, as his name was not included in the Crime Commission's announcement.
Monday's forum at a Wichita restaurant was open to Crime Commission members and their guests.

Bjork All Is Full Of Love Lyrics
Last updated: 01/27/2013 02:01:05 PM
You'll be given love
You'll be taken care of
You'll be given love
You have to trust it
Maybe not from the sources
You have poured yours
Maybe not from the directions
You are staring at
Twist your head around
It's all around you
All is full of love
All around you
All is full of love
You just ain't receiving
All is full of love
Your phone is off the hook
All is full of love
Your doors are all shut
All is full of love!
be the little angel
All is full of love, all is full of love
All is full of love, all is full of love ...
Thanks to LostFairy for submitting All Is Full Of Love Lyrics.
Such a truth | Reviewer: Shahla | 1/27/13
Love this song.
I feel it means all has been made by love. And love is the building blocks of everywhere and the universe has made everything with the force of Love. You can see this in this beautiful song video.
And then the songs says that you will also have your portion of love in this universe, Just trust it!
It's deeper than that... | Reviewer: vivian | 8/19/10
this is replying to chris. Yes correct humans do in fact have the ability to love. and to care about everything and others. But in this world now, people are truly losing touch with that real compassion i believe she is talking about. like how she says "All is full of love
You just ain't receiving
All is full of love
Your phone is off the hook
All is full of love
Your doors are all shut
All is full of love!
be the little angel"
It's like human life is becoming more and more mechanical...our lives are so saturated with so much other stuff going on. the media,government,television,the 'mainstream', all of it just keeping us so busy. we forget about real feelings.we just want want want materialistic things then we expect to really feel things such as love. I don't know, I just see this song being much deeper than the music video.Think about how simple the lyrics are...and how much they can really mean once you think about it.
amazing song and amazing video | Reviewer: Tavo | 6/8/10
the song and video are just terrific!...Unique is the word for the video directed by Cunningham, it's also the soundtrack for the movie: "STIGMATA" .Björk is unique, perfect and very talented.The video stands by itself and is simply amazing to watch it!
wow | Reviewer: chris | 5/3/10
I can't believe no-one has posted a comment about this song. This song is unbelieveable. It is truly heartbreaking. I got turned onto this song (and it's film clip), when I watched it on an MTV countdown. Although, I didn't have tears in my eyes, the song made me feel like I was suffocating inside (so it took my breath away [I am a sensitive dude]).
The film clip is simply amazing. Two robots trying to make intimate love? It could never happen, because they are emotionless and mechanicalised, and that's what makes humans so special, because we have the ability to care and love one another. So don't lose that ability, and make sure you find someone to love.

BSOD upon sleep/hibernate for laptop
Every time I close my laptop lid (or manually try to enter Sleep or Hibernate mode) my laptop won't re-awaken. When I cycle the power, it tells me that it recovered from an error, details mention a BSOD, so here I am. It's been working fine for months, problem started about two weeks ago, but I can't think of any reason why that would be the case.
Laptop is a HP TouchSmart tm2t
-original was Windows 7 Home, my brother upgraded it for me to Ultimate
-full retail, I believe
-Laptop is about 6 months old
-OS was installed just after I got it
Edit: Forgot perfmon. Attached.

Well, it went from bad to worse after I installed the most recent Windows Updates (as I was getting ready to follow your instructions). Now I guess something's wrong with the display driver, because it boots up to just a black screen now, and now whenever I try to reset or shut down from Safe Mode it just hangs at that Shutting Down screen eternally.
So, I think it's time to call it a day. I've backed up important files to a USB drive and am going to just format and re-install Windows from scratch sometime tomorrow. Case closed, I guess?
Thanks for taking the time to try.

Was your birth hospital 'baby-friendly?'
Breast-feeding vs. infant formula always stirs controversy.
Lots of feedback on my Sunday column in the Savannah Morning News about encouraging moms to breast-feed for at least the recommended six-months and preferably for a year. New York City hospitals, Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and Children's Hospital in Philadelphia are among those that stopped giving new moms free infant formula to take home.
One reader, pointing out how formula companies push the feds to tone down breast-feeding ads, supports a ban on ALL formula advertising. It's a sentiment echoed in England. There's also a push for all U.S. hospitals to stop using any formula, except when medically necessary. Such hospitals have a provocative designation: "baby-friendly." Currently, 61 U.S. hospitals and birthing centers are "baby-friendly."
Our son was born at Atlanta's Northside Hospital, an obstetrical giant with 18,300-plus births a year. They use formula, but also provided an abundant amount of breast-feeding support, which helped me to continue to breast-feed.
Sounds pretty baby-friendly to me.

Alferon N Injection® [Interferon alfa-n3 (human leukocyte derived)] is a sterile aqueous formulation of purified, natural, human interferon alpha proteins for use by injection.
Alferon N Injection® is indicated for the intralesional treatment of refractory or recurring external condylomata acuminata.
Therapeutic efficacy of combination therapy with intra-arterial 5-fluorouracil and systemic pegylated interferon alpha-2b for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with portal venous invasion. [2011.11.09]BACKGROUND: The prognosis of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains poor, particularly among patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). This study evaluated the efficacy of combined 5-fluorouracil and pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alpha-2b in patients with advanced HCC... CONCLUSIONS: Although a prospective randomized controlled trial using a larger population of patients with advanced HCC is needed to evaluate combination therapy with 5-fluorouracil and PEG-IFNalpha-2b, this new combination therapy may be useful for patients with advanced HCC.

Antiviral activity of danoprevir (ITMN-191/RG7227) in combination with pegylated interferon alpha-2a and ribavirin in patients with hepatitis C. [2011.08.15]BACKGROUND: Current therapy options for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection genotype 1 are effective in <50%. Danoprevir (ITMN-191/RG7227) is a potent, selective, and orally active inhibitor of the HCV NS3/4A serine protease... CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed substantial antiviral efficacy of danoprevir in combination with pegylated interferon alpha-2a and ribavirin. Exploration of the safety and antiviral efficacy of danoprevir in longer clinical studies is warranted.
Randomised clinical trial: anti-viral activity of ANA773, an oral inducer of endogenous interferons acting via TLR7, in chronic HCV. [2011.08]BACKGROUND: The ANA773 is an oral prodrug of a small-molecule toll-like receptor (TLR)7 agonist. Preclinical and healthy volunteer clinical studies with ANA773 have demonstrated induction of endogenous interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) of multiple subtypes, which supports the potential utility in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. AIM: To examine safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and anti-viral activity of ANA773... CONCLUSION: The ANA773 was generally well tolerated and resulted in a dose-related IFN-dependent response leading to a significant decrease in serum HCV RNA levels in the 2000mg dose group. (c) 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
Randomised clinical trial: efficacy of peginterferon alfa-2a in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients with lamivudine resistance. [2011.08]BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggested that a finite course of peginterferon alfa-2a may offer an alternative rescue therapy for patients with lamivudine resistance. However, because of the limitation of study design and small sample size, it is difficult to make definitive conclusion. AIM: To explore the role of peginterferon alfa-2a, in the rescue treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients with lamivudine resistance... CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the response to peginterferon alfa-2a among patients with lamivudine resistance was suboptimal. HBeAg seroconversion rate at week 72 by 48 weeks peginterferon alfa-2a treatment was higher than continuous adefovir therapy. Monitoring HBsAg levels can help to predict response to peginterferon alfa-2a. (c) 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
Changes of ferritin and CRP levels in melanoma patients treated with adjuvant interferon-alpha (EORTC 18952) and prognostic value on treatment outcome. [2011.08]Adjuvant therapy with interferon-alpha (IFN) only benefits a small subgroup of melanoma patients and a predictive marker selecting responders does not exist. IFN induces increased ferritin and decreased C-reactive protein (CRP) levels; however, an association with treatment effect was not studied...
Zidovudine, Interferon Alfa-2b, and PEG-Interferon Alfa-2b in Treating Patients With Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus Type 1-Associated Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma [Recruiting]
RATIONALE: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 can cause cancer. Zidovudine is an
antiviral drug that acts against the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1. Giving
zidovudine, interferon alfa-2b, and PEG-interferon alfa-2b together may stimulate the immune
system and slow down or keep the cancer cell from growing.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving zidovudine together with interferon
alfa-2b and PEG-interferon alfa-2b works in treating patients with human T-cell lymphotropic
virus type 1-associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a Plus Low Dose Ribavirin for Treatment-Naïve Dialysis Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C [Recruiting]
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is common in dialysis patients. Interferon
(IFN)-based treatment for chronic hepatitis C has been the mainstay therapy in
immunocompetent patients. In dialysis patients, treatment with conventional or pegylated
interferon has also received much attention recently. Two meta-analyses evaluating the
efficacy and safety of conventional IFN alfa monotherapy showed that the sustained virologic
response (SVR) rates were 37% and 33%, respectively; and the corresponding dropout rates
were 17% and 29. 6%, respectively. The efficacy and safety of pegylated IFN alfa-2a and 2b in
treating dialysis patients showed conflicting results, with a more favorable outcome of
patients treated with pegylated IFN alfa-2a (135-180 μg/week: SVR 33-75%, well tolerated)
than those treated with pegylated IFN alfa-2b (0. 5-1. 0 μg/week: SVR 12. 5%, poorly tolerated.
Currently, IFN-based therapy to treatment HCV infection should be initiated in dialysis
stages, because the use of IFN in RT patients harbors high risks of acute graft
rejection,and have low response rates under the concomitant use of immunosuppressive agents.
Ribavirin, which has been used in combination with IFN to treat chronic hepatitis C in the
general patients and achieve a higher SVR rate than IFN monotherapy, is considered
contraindicated in dialysis patients with chronic hepatitis C due to the risk of severe
hemolytic anemia. However, some pilot studies evaluating combined conventional IFN alfa plus
low dose ribavirin (170-300 mg/day) showed SVR rates of 17%-66% after 24-48 weeks of
treatment. In addition, a recent study including 6 patients with combination of pegylated
IFN alfa plus low dose ribavirin also showed a SVR rate of 50%. In this study, treatment
with pegylated IFN alfa-2a plus low dose ribavirin achieved a higher SVR rate that that with
pegylated IFN alfa-2b plus low dose ribavirin (100% vs. 25%).
Based on the long-term favorable outcome in dialysis patients who eradicate HCV, and the
superior response of pegylated IFN alfa-2a plus low dose ribavirin to pegylated IFN alfa-2b
plus low dose ribavirin in treating dialysis patients with chronic hepatitis C, the aim of
the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegylated IFN alfa-2a plus low dose
ribavirin versus pegylated interferon alfa-2a alone in treatment naïve dialysis patients
with chronic hepatitis C.
Ipilimumab or High-Dose Interferon Alfa-2b in Treating Patients With High-Risk Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma That Has Been Removed by Surgery [Recruiting]
This phase III clinical trial is studying ipilimumab or high-dose interferon alfa-2b in
treating patients with high-risk stage III or stage IV melanoma that has been removed by
surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can block tumor growth in different
ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and
help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Interferon alfa-2b may interfere
with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of melanoma and other cancers. It is not
yet known whether ipilimumab is more effective then interferon alfa-2b in treating patients
with melanoma
A Randomized Phase II Study of Two Doses of Interferon Alfa-2a (IFN Alfa-2a) in Combination With Zidovudine (AZT) and Dideoxycytidine (ddC) Versus AZT and ddC Only in Patients With HIV Infection and Less Than 400 CD4 Cells/mm3 [Completed]
To determine the safety and efficacy of two doses of interferon alfa-2a ( IFN alfa-2a ) in
combination with zidovudine ( AZT )/zalcitabine ( ddC ) versus AZT/ddC only in patients with
HIV infection and CD4 count < 400 cells/mm3.
AZT and ddC inhibit HIV by acting as reverse transcriptase chain terminators, while IFN
alfa-2a inhibits translation of viral proteins. Combining agents that act at different sites
of viral replication may improve HIV inhibition and produce more effective and sustained
anti-HIV effects.
Study Comparing Reduction and Viral Safety of IFN Alfa-2b XL + Ribavirin Versus PEG IFN Alfa-2b + Ribavirin in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to confirm if IFN alfa-2b XL has a better antiviral activity
and tolerability as compared with current marketed reference, while combined with ribavirin,
in a 3-month therapy setting.
