The Gipper Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Answers: 1. The Super Bowl "winning QBs" that also played for the Browns were: Trent Dilfer, Mark Rypien, and Len Dawson. I do not include Bernie as he was not the starting QB in the Super Bowl. He had only a cup of coffee in the SB, thus I don't really count him as the "winning QB". 2. The longest pass reception in the Super Bowl was make by Muhsin Muhammed of the Carolina Panthers. 85 yards. 3. The QB that has thrown for the most yards in the Super Bowl in a career is Kurt Warner with 1156 yards in 3 games. Montana had 1142 in 4 and Elway had 1128 in 5 games. 4. Who led the Browns in receptions the most years out of the following: It was Speedie with 5 seasons leading the Browns. Slaughter, Lavelli, Rucker and Warfield each led the Browns 4 times. (Speedie does not have the most seasons leading the Browns in receptions. That is Ozzie Newsome) 5. Who has led the Browns in rushing the most years, a Mr. Brown or a Mr. Pruitt? Indeed it is a trick question of sorts, as the answer is a Mr. Brown has led Browns in rushing 10 times and a Mr. Pruitt has led the Browns 10 times. It is a tie. Jim Brown led the Browns 9 times, and Ken Brown led the Browns once (1973). Greg Pruitt and Mike Pruitt each led the Browns in rushing 5 times each. 6. Which of the following never led the Browns in rushing, Boyce Green, Ernie Green, or William Green? The answer is Ernie Green. Boyce led the Browns one year, William 2 years. (Ernie was primarily Jim Browns blocking back.) But despite that, yes....it was Ernie Green who gained the most career yards of these three. 7. Who led the Browns the most years in passing yards amongst the list given: It was Frank Ryan with 6 years. Plum, Nelsen, and Couch led the Browns 4 years, Testaverde 3 years. Of course Otto Graham led the Browns the most years with 10. Also Kosar and Sipe led the Browns more than the group given. 8. Who holds the Browns record for scoring the most points? It is Jim Brown with 126 points on 21 TDs in 1965. Phil Dawson's best year was 120 points which is tied with Cockroft who also had 120 points one year for the second most points scored by a Brown. 9. Who holds the Browns record for most rushing attempts? Yes, it is Reuben Droughns with 309 attempts in 2005. Jim Brown is second with 305 attempts in the 1961 season. Of course, note that in 1961 JB was only playing a 14 game schedule where in 2005 it was 16 games. 10. Who holds the Browns career record for punt return yardage? It is Dennis Northcutt. More than Cribbs, McNeil, Dino Hall or Leroy Kelley who trail him. 11. Who coached the Browns the most years from the list given? It was Sam Rutigliano who coached in 7 seasons with the Browns. Belichick and Schottenheimer coached in 5 seasons, and Skorich and Davis in 4. (Paul Brown, of course, with 17 seasons leads that overall category) 12. True or False: Against the following defunct franchises combined, the Browns "suffered" more ties than losses: original Colts, original Bills, Brooklyn Dodgers, Chicago Hornets, LA Dons, Miami Seahawks, and New York Yanks. The answer is TRUE. Against these franchises combined the Browns were 42-2-3, the only 2 losses being to the Dons. (some of you appeared to read the question wrong) 13. True or False, Dick LeBeau was born in London, Ontario? FALSE. Yes he was born in London, Ohio. 14. True or False. Kenyon and Oberlin, the top two academic schools in the state of Ohio have each never had an alum play in the NFL. FALSE. Kenyon had 2 alum play in the NFL, and Oberlin 1. These guys go way, way back to the 20s or 30s, but they did play in the league. 15. Which of the schools listed do not belong in the Top 10 of sending players to the NFL? Here is the count on the 11 schools: Notre Dame 499 USC 421 Ohio St. 368 Michigan 325 Penn St. 312 Nebraska 303 Tennessee 284 Oklahoma 282 Pitt 273 UCLA 267 It is Alabama that does not belong, they have only sent 250 players to the NFL. In fact, on this list, there are several other schools ahead of Alabama including Wisconsin, Texas, and Georgia. Source was pro-football-reference.com.

The Gipper Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Question 1: Don't forget former Buckeye Mike Tomczak! Someone elsewhere suggested that Jim McMahon should be included on this list as, apparently, for a part of a preseason he was on the Browns roster...even having been in a team picture. But McMahon's records do not show him ever having played a down in a regular season game with the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
