If you think it’s tough being a Cleveland Browns fan, try being Joe Thomas.
The veteran left tackle has been one of the NFL’s best in his 10-year career, making the Pro Bowl every season and has never missed a game. The Browns, on the other hand, have been terrible. Cleveland has never made the post-season during Thomas’ tenure and have only had one winning season (2007). In that time, Thomas has blocked for a total of 18 quarterbacks.
In an interview with ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap as part of an E:60 special on Thomas, the all-pro lineman was asked to name every quarterback he’s protected since his rookie year. The result is a perfect mixture of hilarious and depressing.
Can you name all the QBs who have started for the Browns over the last decade? Joe Thomas, the guy who’s protected all 18, gave it a shot. pic.twitter.com/7dlnHxezlt

The cherry on the sundae of quarterback disappointment is that the list is only going to increase this season, with a current quarterback battle going on between Brock Osweiler, Cody Kessler and rookie DeShone Kizer.
