CLEVELAND, Ohio -- When it comes to quarterbacks, I want the Cleveland Browns to find some.

Lots of quarterbacks. The obvious reason is the Browns don't have a viable starter. That said, I'd keep DeShone Kizer for next season. At least, you can put him in the game as a backup.

Some fans are tired of hearing how Kizer is only 21 and the youngest starting quarterback in NFL this season. But it's true, and he started the opening game for a team that was 1-15 last season. He also was a second-round pick, the fourth quarterback selected in the 2017 draft.

So is it a big surprise he's struggled? Is it possible he could improve in 2018? Most fans know the answer to that. It's far too early to write off Kizer.

But there's absolutely no reason to write him in as the 2018 starter in 2018. Keep him around and bring in others.

QUARTERBACK HUNTER

That was a headline in The Plain Dealer the day after John Dorsey was named the new Browns general manager.

His job is to find a quarterback. He is armed with two draft picks in the top 10, and likely the No. 1 pick. They'll have about $100 million in salary cap room for 2018. So former Browns vice president Sashi Brown put the team in excellent position to add quarterbacks in 2018.

That's right, more than one quarterback. Why?

There's sheer math. Having more choices increases the odds of finding a good one. But there's something else.

The most damaging injury to most teams is when a quarterback is hurt. And do they ever get hurt.

1. Last week, MVP candidate Carson Wentz suffered a season-ending ACL knee injury. The Philadelphia Eagles star will have surgery.

2. Seven games into his pro career, Houston's Deshaun Watson looked like the 2017 Rookie of the Year. He was hit with a season-ending ACL knee injury and surgery.

3. Green Bay star quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone on Oct. 15. He had surgery, missed seven games and returns to action this week.

4. Andrew Luck was the top pick in the 2012 draft by the Indianapolis Colts. He played every game for his first three seasons. In 2015, he suffered a lacerated kidney and had a shoulder problem, playing only seven games. He played 15 games in 2016. He has missed all of this season with shoulder problems.

5. Josh McCown's season came to an end with a broken hand last week. The surprising part of this story is McCown stayed healthy for the Jets' first 13 games. The former Brown has had major injuries in each of the last three seasons.

6. Sam Bradford played one game for Minnesota. Injury. Done for the year.

7. Ryan Tannehill suffered a knee injury. Miami brought Jay Cutler out of retirement.

There are more examples, but you get the point.

DORSEY'S HISTORY

1. Most fans know one of Dorsey's first moves after taking over the Chiefs in 2013 was to trade a pair of second-round picks to San Francisco for Alex Smith. It was a franchise-changing deal. In the previous two seasons, the Chiefs were 9-23. In the next four years, new head coach Andy Reid and Smith led the Chiefs to a 47-21 record.

2. Dorsey also signed Chase Daniel to back up Smith. He had been a backup from 2010-12 with New Orleans. Daniel played behind Smith for three years before signing a three-year, $21 million free agent contract with Philadelphia.

3. Dorsey signed veteran Nick Foles as a backup to Smith in 2016.

4. Most fans know Dorsey traded up in the 2017 draft to select quarterback Patrick Mahomes at No. 10. He could be the Chiefs' starter next season, and that could lead to Smith being available.

5. Dorsey picked Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray in the fifth round of the 2014 draft. He was with the Chiefs for two seasons, but never appeared in a game. He was cut, was on the roster of a few other NFL teams. Never played in a regular season game.

6. He drafted Kevin Hogan in the fifth round of the 2016 draft. Yes, the current Browns backup. Hogan was waived by the Chiefs at the end of the 2016 training camp.

7. Interesting note: Cody Kessler had been the backup quarterback for the previous six games, with Hogan as No. 3. But when Dorsey took over, Hogan moved up to No. 2 for Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

8. This is not to claim Hogan is the Browns future starter. But he's likely to receive more attention with Dorsey here.

9. In an interview with Peter King of Monday Morning Quarterback, Dorsey said he's watched Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield "six times" this season. He said this about the 6-foot Heisman Trophy winner: "You're darn right he's a good quarterback, no matter how tall he is."

10. Dorsey mentioned the Seattle Seahawks' Russell Wilson (5-foot-10) and Daniel (6-0).

11. But what about his signature quarterback move -- Smith? He's 6-foot-4, 220 pounds. Or Mahomes? The 2017 first-round pick is 6-foot-3, 230 pounds. The other quarterbacks he drafted: Hogan (6-3, 220) and Murray (6-1, 210).

12. Dorsey said Kizer was the No. 4 quarterback on his 2017 draft board -- behind Mitchell Trubisky, Watson and Mahomes. But I'm not sure what was Dorsey's order for the top three.

13. When it comes to the 2018 draft, you have to be careful evaluating much of anything said by Dorsey or other NFL general managers. They are not going to really reveal what they think. But Dorsey's history shows he's very open to adding quarterbacks to his roster.
