1931 Season (Entire Season)

Man, football is a tough business. After the draft and training camp, QB Joel Robbins was still the starting QB. He even started the first preseason game. However, the Cleveland Browns decided they wanted the rookie QB the drafted last year to start, so they released Robbins. After leading his team to the playoffs and actually winning a playoff game, Robbins was cut. Sigh.

No worries though, right? He will immediately be picked up. So he went home and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. Week 9 rolls around and he gets a call. After a brief conversation, he agrees to sign with his 4th team:

Atlanta Falcons!

The Falcon's starting QB season ended after breaking his kneecap during a week 7 game, so Robbins was signed as the 3rd string QB. And of course, he did not play.

Looks like his journeyman status begins.
