Colt should start the rest of the season

Did I miss something? Somebody else made an issue of the color of the player's skin?

Maybe I missed it, but I thought you brought it up unnecessarily.

In my opinion its people such as yourself that jump all over the topic of skin color when its brought up that allows racism to even continue being an issue in this country. Just let it go man

I still love the fact we have a black kicker and a white running back. Either one can punt and play running back.

And ZERO INT's. You manage the game while your WINNING. 230 yards RUSHING. Wow, dumbest post of the week award. What a dumb shit.

p.s. Oh and ironically, the Pats won the SUPERBOWL with Tom Brady having 16 completions and 145 yards passing, and he won the MVP. Last time I checked, there are 4 quarters in football, numb nuts.

and this thread was started sometime around half time

when i responded to it i was thinking the same thing.....there is still a lot of time left

up to that point colt hadnt done a whole lot and had only thrown the ball 16 times

i know you guys are loving colt and for good reason, but considering he is only starting due to injuries, i wouldnt say that he is the best QB on the team

whats wrong with letting him sit and learn when jake and seneca are healthy?

You have to go with the hot hand. McCoy is still learning, and while he is managing the game well, he is still the hot hand, and you have to stick with it! It can only help him, and keep the momentum going, as well as continuing to gain confidence week after week.

It looks to me that he is ready to win games. He beat the defending SB Champs and he beat the team with the best record in football. I guess if you consider the Saints and the Pats "not much" then perhaps he hasn't done much. But he "lead" them the way any QB leads a team. Some win by throwing for 450 yards. Others win by doing all the right things at the right time. So far, that is what McCoy has done.

and brady quinn beat the defending super bowl champs last year......that doesnt mean he is the reason they won or that he had a stellar game either

what colt is doing is playing like a rookie. he is not trying to win games....only trying to not lose them. the game plan for a rookie QB is much different than the gameplan for a veteran. its great to see the brownies beating quality teams like the saints and pats, but i dont think its because of mccoy

i know you put the word "lead" in quotations which is what QBs are considered to do....but colt isnt leading the team....peyton hillis and the offensive line are leading this team......the defense is leading this team.....colt is just managing the game. theres a huge difference

everyone should be pumped about what he is doing so far this season.....he looks like he could be the franchise QB the brownies have been looking for, but why start him when you dont have to?

when seneca and jake are healthy, they should regain their positions and continue to help win games for cleveland

CL, John Madden answered this last week by saying that no coach in the NFL is going to let the player that gives his team the best chance to win sit on the sideline. Colt has shown far more accuracy, maturity, athleticism and intelligence than anyone thought he would. He's managed to lead his team to 30+ points two games in a row (admittedly the NO 30+ was a result of defensive scores). The teammates are selling out for him (see Cribbs' block on Meriweather) and the teammates are excited about him.

If he keeps you competitive and is progressing ahead of schedule then there's no reason to sit him.

and i agree.......if colt truely is the best QB on the team then he should play

its just my opinion that jake and/or seneca give the browns a better chance to win

his accuracy is a product of the play calling but his maturity is something that is somewhat surprising

seneca is more athletic and jake is probably a smarter QB

and like i said before, colt isnt really the reason that they score 30 points a game.......peyton hillis, the defense, and the offensive line have a lot more to do with it than colt mccoy

You're certainly entitled to your opinion but I disagree. His accuracy is inherent to his ability. He was this accurate in college. If accuracy was a function of play design or play calling, then DA would still be a starter here. Seneca more athletic? Did you see his TD run? I would argue that Colt is as athletic as Seneca. If Colt makes all of the right decisions on the field then you can't possibly say that Jake is "smarter".

[BrownIndian]

Is it safe to say that the next generation of QB's have arrived ? Apart from a select few a lot more teams have young starters.

[pikeyM27]

Lets trade Colt and get us some draft picks!!!! Can we get two 7th round pick for him? That would be great! His receivers make him look good, we need to trade him now and then draft a QB next year. May be we can trade Colt and Hillis for #1 pick.

NFL experts are saying Colt is a fluke and should be traded for draft picks.

p.s. For those who think that was dumb, in 2007 I would've been praised as the smartest guy on this board for talking like that.

I retract my statement about CantonLegend. Dumbest post of the month right here.

[tshirtfan]

Even if Delhomme or Seneca could play better, they've been out for over a month now. The offense has found rhythm, and each one of those QBs will run the offense differently. So changing to Seneca or Jake might mean taking a step back and having to get into a new groove.

I personally think Mangini's indecisive posturing is more to establish that Colt needs to earn the starting job, rather than to throw off the next opponent's gameplan. And that's part of Mangini's job; he can't succumb to the pressure of the fanbase and media. Those of us on the outside looking in are naturally going to get really excited and want sudden change. However, McCoy hasn't assembled enough of a resume to justify keeping him in after he plays a bad game. The coaches don't want a QB controversy, so he needs more wins before his position is strong enough to justify moving up the chart officially.

The interesting storyline will be dealing with Wallace. I think it's pretty much obvious to everyone by now that he's physically healthy enough to be practicing. How will Mangini handle it?

Hmmm....maybe on a single post, but CantonLegend is still the dumbest poster of the month because of the volume of dumb posts he makes.

wrong on every level.

the browns have been in every game this year but could never get over the top with the exception of the bengals game. neither jake or seneca was making those plays that sustained the drives to give the browns the W. the first 4 losses of the season are indicative of this.

the browns aren't only winning with colt mccoy. they are winning decisively. it is clear that he has emerged as the new leader of the browns. the way that he kept those drives alive yesterday is testament that he gives the browns a chance to win every single game that they play for the rest of the season.

you need to watch game film of delhomme from TB and ATL games this year before saying he IS a smart QB. he WAS a smart qb. seneca is exactly what we need as a back-up but from watching every game this year, it is clear that he can't carry the team on his back in the same way that colt can.

Not to mention that Seneca has trouble with the deep fade. Colt isn't great at it but he's in the vicinity....

i don't fret that an interception is imminent whenever colt goes long. that's for sure

[StrangeBru]

This thread should have been started before yesterday. The way the rookie played last week it would be a horrible decision to sit him ofr any reason, except injury or when they play the Ravens .

I ain't saying he is the second coming of Otto Graham, or even Bernie Kosar, but the kid deserves to play until he proves otherwise.
