2012 Update: You can find a more up-to-date version of this list here (http://www.pigskinheaven.com/content.php/1045-Browns-Starting-Quarterbacks-Since-1999).
1999: Ty Detmer
2000: Tim Couch
2001: Tim Couch
2002: Kelly Holcomb (Couch injured)
2003: Kelly Holcomb (Couch not injured)
2004: Jeff Garcia
2005: Trent Dilfer
2006: Charlie Frye
2007: Charlie Frye
2008: Derek Anderson
2009: Brady Quinn (theoretical)
I guess here's my overarching point: don't get comfortable if you're a Browns' opening day starter at quarterback. It's usually temporary as no Cleveland quarterback since the return has started more than two consecutive season openers.
