…is apparently all over the NFL.

The three certain changes this weekend will raise to 33 the number of swaps at the quarterback position in the 11 weeks since the season opener. That’s an average of three changes per week, and from the data that ESPN.com was able to research the past few days, represents an all-time high for this point in any season since the NFL adopted the 16-game schedule in 1978…Yeah, it’s been that crazy so far in 2005, and there are still six weekends on the schedule, and plenty more time for coaches to shuffle their quarterback depth charts.

When you think about it, the Browns QB position the last 30 years has really been more chaotic than not. We had two sure starters in that period, Sipe and Kosar, but the rest have been a litany of no hopers, dashed high expectations, re-treads, short term fixes, and utter disasters.

Great minds think alike. So do mine and Kellen Winslow’s…

“It’s frustrating knowing what you could be doing out there, but it will come,” said Winslow. “Next season, when we have Antonio Bryant, Braylon, myself, Reuben Droughns, what are they going to do? They’re going to have to double somebody, and somebody else is going to kill them. It’s going to be a lethal attack.”

He forgot Charlie Frye. Don’t forget Charlie Frye. I’m tellin’ ya, folks, this is gonna be some kind of offense next year, if everyone stays healthy.

Speaking of which, I really hope we some of Frye in Minnesota Sunday. Let’s see him on the road. This is a good team to have him face on the road. Gut feeling, baby!
