1. Ahw this is quite cute actually, Withers is retiring (?) or at least not covering the Browns anymore after this season.

   Stefanski just gave him a jersey after the presser and seemingly also this scoop along with it.

2. Another added to the list. Also, this is our 9th starting qb the last 2 years, that gotta be getting to record territory for most in a 2 year span.

3. Damn, really wish we could make a good evaluation and see what we have in DTR

4. I think the DTR experience is over barring injury. The ravens are going to put on the jets in the first quarter and then just sit starters the rest of the game. This is a bloodbath

5. We never should have gotten rid of Baker…

6. Tank commander Bailey Zappe at your service 🫡

7. Is DTR hurt or just not tanking hard enough?

8. 40 QBs in 25 years. That’s right folks, Bailey Zappe is the 40th different QB to start a game for the Browns since the team returned as an expansion franchise in 1999.

9. New record for quarterbacks started in two years, look at us go!

10. Is it weird that I’m excited about this?

11. Time to buy a jersey

12. **ADD TO THE JERSEY**

13. At this point in the season why not. Cannot get any worse.

14. This will mark the 8th different QB that the Browns have started since we traded for Deshaun Watson lol. A move that we thought was designed for QB stability has instead put the Browns into probably the least stability we’ve had at the position in a decade

15. The list grows brothers

16. Bailey Zappe friggin *destroyed* us when he got the start vs us… I am actually looking forward to being entertained Saturday

17. Until he starts playing too well then he’s gonna be hurt

18. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

19. The tank is strong

20. Ugh. I feel like Zappe gives us a better chance to win than DT-faR (from good).

21. We should trot out Manziel Sunday

22. Starting a third string quarterback in the final game of the season. A Browns tradition like no other.

23. Who?

24. Thank God, even if he sucks as badly as DTR there is still some *mystery* around that. Game may be watchable.

25. The Browns beat the Ravens earlier in this season. That game was Jameis Winston’s first start in over a year, and he was a relatively unknown quantity that the Ravens had difficulty dealing with. So maybe this tactic will pay off again.

26. Next Browns legend Bailey Zappe ready to pop in and drop 5 TDs en route to taking away our #1 pick

    

27. Somebody tell the front office we already hold the record for most starting quarterbacks

28. TIME TO BUY A JERSEY

29. But wait don’t we need to see more from all star DTR?!?

30. The Zappening is about to commence. Browns confirmed 2025 and forever, QB 1 found

31. They are doing this just to fuck with the guy that makes the starting QB jersey right?

32. Itll be the most Browns thing ever to have Bailey Zappe have a career game and beat baltimore just to screw our draft pick. With that being said beer or bourbon?

33. #who?!?

34. Let the Zappe era commence. The time honored tradition of a random qb starting against a division foe in the last game of the season continues

35. Calling it now. 28/32, 524 yds, 5 tds, 0 ints, 112 rushing yards, 2 rushing td

36. I wonder what team is second in this time frame.

37. fuck it. This is one of the only browns teams to go 2-0 vs the ravens
