Detmer

Pederson
Holcomb
McCown
Garcia
Dilfer
Gradkowski
Delhomme

All of those guys weren't drafted by the Browns. And a bunch of them, like Holcomb, Garcia, Dilfer, and Delhomme were acquired as stop-gaps so that the franchise could "learn to win" a little bit before finding a long-term answer at QB.
That list represents a mountain of a franchise failure more than it damns any one particular QB-developing strategy.
