Does the name mean chocolate lab dogs?

If a qb can't throw more than 14 tds a team isn't likely to produce a winning record which has been painfully evident for the browns in their drought of unsuccessful qbs.

Also really so now a competition with Hoyer and manziel I wonder if they heard criticism of how they're wasting a draft pick and deciding to respond.

The name of the team was at first left up to Paul Brown, who rejected calls for it to be christened the Browns. The franchise then held a naming contest to publicize the team, promising a $1,000 war bond to the winner. In June 1945, a committee selected "Panthers" as the new team's name. McBride, however, changed it to the Browns two months later, the result of another naming contest that suggested Browns, not after Paul Brown himself, but as a shortened version of Brown Bombers, a reference to the nickname of boxer Joe Louis. Some sources say McBride was asked for thousands of dollars in compensation from a businessman who owned the rights to the name Cleveland Panthers, an earlier failed football team.
