Brian Sipe

Brian Sipe is the sort of quarterback I find easy to root for. A San Diego kid who came up through the local state university and then anchored the Cleveland Browns for a decade, from 1974 to 1983, he reads as a grinder rather than a golden child. Leading one franchise for that long demands a particular durability and trust, and his later stint in the USFL suggests a man who simply wanted to keep playing. I'm drawn less to flashy numbers than to the loneliness of the position he held, season after season, carrying a team on his arm with very little fanfare.
