  • This article is poop. He isn't on the bubble. It is very rare that 3rd rd picks get cut there first year. The last one I can remember was maurice clarett. Plus him being a qb makes him a shoe in. You think holgrem wants to have egg on his face his first year?

  • This is either a fire being lit, or bad reporting.

    It's possible that Mangini wants to get him used to feeling like he isn't the BMOC anymore. Is he still a competitor when he isn't also the center of attention? This kills a lot of promising college athletes. A lot of kids you think are high character types that play with a lot of heart really cool down when they're out of the spotlight. Kids don't always know themselves at 22, 23 years old. A kid who's never been anything except the stud quarterback** may not have the same inner fire when no one is watching.

    ** Save one year redshirting behind one of the greatest college football quarterbacks of all time

  • I dunno what people expect out of rookie QBs when they are thrown in with 3rd unit offensive linemen and WRs that cant block or catch to save their lives...mccoy is still trying to adjust to the speed and complication of the pro game and isnt getting the time to make the reads he has learned or even breathe as far as that goes..

    The same could be said for ratliff as well but he isnt a rookie and he supposedly fully understands mangini's system..i believe a choice for mangini between ratty and colty is a simple one...ratty just sucks and the rookie hasnt yet been properly phased in or evaluated..

    We have our 2 aging veteran QBs for now and if the regime determines colt isnt the guy then they should trade him now to give him a chance to play somewhere else ratty needs to be let go period...he will most likely not be picked up by anyone so his career in the nfl will be effectively and rightfully over..

    If the unthinkable happened and we had to bring in the 3rd QB, I would rather see a rookie making mistakes and finding out if he has what it takes as opposed to watching a guy like rattlif whom we know doesnt have what it takes stinking up the field with worse than DA type inconsistent play..

    It doesnt matter if that 3rd rookie QB is colt mccoy or sam bradford or jimmy clausen as far as im concerned thats just how it should be...

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

  • McCoy is not going anywhere. Its not like Ratliff is an up and coming star imo. For what its worth Id rather have Jennings than Davis. Jennings showed me a little near the end of last season and Davis has shown me nothing. He appears small and slow. Dropped a nice screen from McCoy this week.

    I also think we will see alot of Hillis at RB this year. The backfield of Vickers/Hillis sure looked good the last game.

  • I agree, McCoy is NOT going anywhere. Hell, the day he was drafted I think it was announced that he would probably sit and watch this entire season. Nothing has changed in that regard.

    Whether Colt stays or goes he needs to start doing something 3rd string or not. Anyway if you've got the goods you should look like an all-star both with and against the 3rd string. Who cares right now anyway he's not going to start any games (hopefully).

    It's even difficult for the best of them to look good with a bad offensive line. QB's and RB's can go from great to terrible looking without protection. I'm not saying McCoy is great, but it's hard to do anything when you have no time.

  • The only chance I see in McCoy going bye bye is if the coaches would consider making Cribbs the 3rd String QB.

    But it's not going to happen. This article could have easily have had Ratliff, Delhomme, and Wallace on the Bubble as well.. But it doesn't...that is because McCoy's name means more, that is all.. There are 4 QB looking for a position... someone is on the bubble..

  • there's no way he gets cut. he'll get at least a year to prove himself in practice.

    Do you post on the LSU rant by any chance. Just asking, someone just posted almost this exact statement.

  • all im gonna say is we could of had decker or campbell instead of colt...not to mention we could get one of the 3 big time qbs in the next draft (locker, luck, and mallett)

  • I think we will draft one of those guys unless we make a big turn around and are drafting in the 20's.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • You can thank Grossi for that, he had a list of players he thought were on the bubble idk it wont happen

  • James Davis better not get cut.

  • Agree. The IR sounds like the mostly likely solution. If due to injuries we need to use the third QB Ratliff is more prepared at this point than the rookie.

    Zombo said:

    I think the Browns are hoping for a reason that they can stash McCoy on the IR for a year. I think they would be more comfortable with Ratty as the third guy at this point.

    But if it comes right down to it and one of them has to go it will be Rat, they just signed Colt to a decent contract and I'm sure they want to see more of him.

  • Colt will be fine Put him in with the first Unit to se what he can do the Third string Line and wr Cant play that well lol

  • It's just not important what he can do at this point . It is always going to be fodder for controversy but the fact is he won't play unless it's a nothing to lose mentality .

  • The real question is if we draft top 5 next year do we grab a guy like locker,mallet,luck or do we go another direction in hopes that he may pan out??

    Who knows, we might still get one of those....but, are they really any better than McCoy? McCoy had as much or more credentials than any of them going into his senior year in college.

    And, FYI, I think that the Browns need to address their D-Line perhaps with their first pick next year.

  • Sorry to say Colt McCoy is not NFL material. He's to small and has no down field vision. The pros are a lot different than college. I say cut him.
