    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..

    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.

    Head or Gut?

    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?

    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...

    Still ripping on DA Gips? Whats your effing problem.

    Nope, not me.. Never heard of it...

  • After reading more of this I have to sit back and say that History should be our teacher here.. How many quarterbacks have we seen step right out of college, land on one of the worst teams, and be successful that year. There are have been a few that have come in on a team that is moving forward, like Sanchez and the Jets. But History should tell us that there have been several QB that have sat back, watched and learned, and made a successful transition to the starting role.

    But we also have to remember, that the success they enjoyed and had was based on a strong supporting cast. As it has been stated, you could put any QB behind a 3rd string OL and they will suck cause they have no time to read the field, and on top of that, do they have quality recievers to throw too.

    I don't expect much of McCoy now... and none of us should and none of us should be picking up stones because He is where he is at for a reason, and I am sitting behind this desk posting my opinion for a reason. McCoy has potential. I'm 34 and out of shape.

    Who are we to judge his potential yet.

  • 2 preseason games and colt should be cut? 😵 does anybody really believe that? and i hope ratliff isn't going to be the browns 3rd string qb. bring in someone else, if that's the case. other than looking good against the browns pathetic 3rd stringers in a meaningless preseason game back in 08, ratliff hasn't done crap.
