BREAKING NEWS: COLT MCCOY LIKELY TO START SUNDAY
-
I accidentally gave you a thanks for this post-- thank the glass of vodka I drank before reading your post.
But seriously, with our best players on the field, I think we're competitive against any team in the NFL. We've been in every game so far this year-- including the Ravens game-- and what team is better than the Ravens. I honestly believe we're competitive when healthy.
The Steelers are better than the Ravens. We had zero offense outside of Mendenhall and one game from Charlie. My post also wasn't off base. Sure the Browns are improved but it's not like I'm trolling with the comment you "thanked by accident" Pittsburgh is 3-1 without their top 5 QB (Arguably but most put him there) The offense will no longer stall and it should be lights out football from both ends.

Honestly, I think I'm in shock at the thought that McCoy might be our starter in Pittsburgh. Flashback to those last days of Crennel, when we fielded the crapiest team I can remember.
It really shouldn't be that bad, though. At least our coaching staff is comparable to the Steelers' staff. Daboll is no worse than Arians (isn't he still in charge?). And while your d-coordinator is a legend, Rob Ryan is one in the making. Mangini is a gameplan genius, so I think we're fine there.

I think lets give him a shot alot better than watching ajake get slapped around lol
-
It happened in NE With the Brady,Bledsoe Episode you never know guys I am excited
-
you just never know I am actually excited what Can go Wrong we Lose again LOL,Give him a chance #12 Lets do it.
-
Patriots just traded a 4th round pick for Deon Branch. Why can't we go get someone to help McCoy?
-
I see only positives coming from this. Either...
A: Colt does good or decent and he turns into the QB we were looking for during the playing time he gets in the next 3-4 weeks or...
B: He does horrible, we go 2-14 / 3-13 and we draft Andrew Luck in the first round and we get a QB who can do this...

i hear the bells already. somebody light the funeral pyre! it's gonna be a massacre!
i know 1 of 2 things are gonna happen if colt starts against the Steelers.
1. your OC is gonna call such a conservative gameplan that you will NOT top 100yrds total offense.
or
2. your OC calls a standard range of plays and colt will get intercepted 3 or more times.
pick your poison.

The upside of the Browns' struggles with injuries etc... is we know they have a kick ass defense.
And, if they do keep losing because of the offense....
they will more likely be in position to draft this kid:

I'll be honest. The Browns always get up for the games against the Steelers. Anything is possible so I'm not going to come in here like i have in the last few days to get a rise and say "we're going to steam roll". Do I think there is a real chance that happens yes but any given Sunday and both teams always get up for this one. It's going to be a pretty exciting week. Ben is coming back, a fueled rivalry no matter how lopsided it's been lately. It's a good week to be a football fan.That's right. Its been all Browns lately
Nevertheless, this is not good if McCoy has to start. I don't think he has even taken a snap all year in a game and the first thing he is to do in his career is to go against a Dick LeBeau defense? 🥷 .
Well, I guess if the boy wants to learn what the NFL is all about and what it means to be a pro and play in a real NFL rivalry, now is as good a time as ever.
I don't think he has even taken a snap all year in a game and the first thing he is to do in his career is to go against a Dick LeBeau defense?
They're throwing him out there against a hall-of-fame defensive mind, Troy freakin Polamalu and that dirty SOB Harrison. My god, just put him on IR before the game starts and save his knees AND his ego.
Makes me sick to my stomach
Never felt this way about my Browns. -

10 reasons why McCoy can succeed
by Marla Ridenour on October 12, 2010 - 11:15 am
With both Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace reportedly suffering from high ankle sprains, it appears Browns rookie quarterback Colt McCoy will make his first NFL start Sunday at Pittsburgh.
As daunting as that sounds, a friend from Hartford, CT made a strong case via email why McCoy can succeed. It must be pointed out that the friend is a graduate of the University of Texas, where McCoy went 45-8 as a four-year starter to become the winningest quarterback in NCAA history.
Here are his 10 reasons to believe in McCoy. My comments/additions are in parentheses:
1. A healthy McCoy isn’t any less of an athlete than Seneca Wallace. He can use his feet to buy time. (At Texas, McCoy rushed 447 times for 1,571 yards and 20 TDs.)
2. If he can put the ball where he wants to, his accuracy will help move the chains. (McCoy’s career completion percentage of 70.33 ranks second in NCAA history between the 70.39 of Hawaii’s Colt Brennan.)
3. There is less of a book on him than the others.
4. If you run a good amount of WildDawg, Colt will have fewer opportunities to get hit. (In the Browns’ 13-6 home victory over the Steelers on Dec. 10, 2009, Joshua Cribbs rushed eight times for 87 yards.)
5. If the defense plays as well as it did the last time they played, Colt won’t have to do much. (In that 2009 Browns victory, the Steelers managed 218 net yards, netted 77 yards on the ground and converted 3 of 14 on third down.)
6. He’s been underestimated every step of the way and he will rise to the occasion. (Despite his college honors, McCoy slipped to the third round of the draft, going 85th overall.)
7. He’s a coach’s kid and he’s smart. (McCoy’s father, Brad, was his coach at Jim Ned High School in Tuscola, Texas, where McCoy went 34-2 as a starter.)
8. He knows how to win games when he isn’t effective.
9. He’s mentally tough. He’s faced the best defensive players in college who form the basis of the NFL and he’s succeeded.
10. After performing in the intensity of games against the likes of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Ohio State, do you really think he’s going to be fazed by 60,000 western Pennsylvanians waving yellow towels?

He may have been decent at running in college, but the guys are much faster and hit harder in the pros.
2. If he can put the ball where he wants to, his accuracy will help move the chains. (McCoy’s career completion percentage of 70.33 ranks second in NCAA history between the 70.39 of Hawaii’s Colt Brennan.)
How's that high accuracy working for Brennan in the NFL? Just heard Houston brought him in to pass to potential new WRs.
3. There is less of a book on him than the others.
4. If you run a good amount of WildDawg, Colt will have fewer opportunities to get hit. (In the Browns’ 13-6 home victory over the Steelers on Dec. 10, 2009, Joshua Cribbs rushed eight times for 87 yards.)

Good point, hopefully this will be all we need to win again

8. He knows how to win games when he isn’t effective.
9. He’s mentally tough. He’s faced the best defensive players in college who form the basis of the NFL and he’s succeeded.
He hasn't faced a defense like the Stoolers
10. After performing in the intensity of games against the likes of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Ohio State, do you really think he’s going to be fazed by 60,000 western Pennsylvanians waving yellow towels?
No, I think the 300lb+ angry MEN (not kids) coming after him will faze him a little.
It's a nice article, but you have to take it with a grain of salt. You never know how a kid will do in the pros.

Never felt this way about my Browns. Better yet, why don't we put a dress on you, me, and anyone else who's been a Browns fan for the past 60+ years. For Christ sake ... If I am not mistaken, it was Big Ben who had his facemask cut-off from his ugly mug, his head strapped to a gurney, and his body carted off Cleveland Browns Stadium field in 2008. It was Big Ben who was sacked eight times in our last meeting, and it was Big Ben who has been preoccupied with several rape accusations and hasn't played a down this season, facing a Browns defense that has improved.
Stop freaking crying about the Steelers. Hillis will play and we have a great O-line coming off a poor game and looking to get back to the form they were just two games ago in Baltimore where they mauled.
Colt is a big boy, the kid has been in many big games. The kid has experience and has mastered each level to get here. The Steelers are scared shitless of Cribbs and they will see plenty of him, spelling Colt & Hilis for some wilddawg packages, lined up at RB, WR, and returning punts/kicks. Stuckey has been stepping into his own, and we will free up the TE's for a possesion game between our Defense pinning back their ears and taking it to Big dumb rusty Ben.
If you are going to cry about the match-up, don a dress and go watch a local youth soccer game because I'm sick of reading it.

you just never know I am actually excited what Can go Wrong we Lose again LOL,Give him a chance #12 Lets do it.

I totally agree! What the hell do we have to lose? I mean, if this guy is the future, then we need to find that out now, otherwise we'll be in the running to draft YET another QB! So, while I don't like our chances Sunday, like you said... you never know. And so what, Colt stays on as starter, the Browns go 3-13, or 1-15. I seem to rember two great QBS who started out with those records in their first year; Troy Aikman, and Peyton Manning. I'm not saying Colt is the next coming of either of those 2, but why not find out now whether or not this kid has anything?
