    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.

    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.

    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.

    I think you are right my friend...

    It wouldn't surprise me if we kept 4 qbs on the roster.

    That roster spot is important, but it isn't critical. We could probably get by with one less backer or DB....at least for a while.

    What is the roster....54 players with maybe 45 active on gameday?? Not counting the practice squad.

    Guess I should know that, but alas, I don't recall.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • The Cleveland Browns are not going to cut the most winning quarterback in college football history.

    Nuff said.

    I'm thinking the same. Draft picks take precedence in these matters, Colt would really have to suck to be cut. If they keep him then they see something of valuein him down the road.

    I fixed your "Too Small" font for ya.🙂 Too small as a qb? 😆 True, McCoy doesn't have prototypical size. 6'1". But there's a QB who's an inch shorter, and 5 pounds lighter than McCoy that won the Super Bowl last year- Drew Brees. Brian Sipe was roughly the same height IIRC. Cripe sakes, Seneca Wallace is only 5'11", how on earth has he lasted this long in the big bad NFL? And I couldn't believe it- but was roster hopping for more ammo- you know who's only an inch taller than McCoy? Bret Favre- he doesn't seem to have much trouble seeing downfield. You don't need to be 6'6" to be a great qb.

    Sheeze, a handful of series, and you want to put the Colt out to pasture?
