  • I think he should be the starter. I believe we ruined Quinn by sitting him for so long. Throw him under the bus and see if he gets ran over.

  • i said B because they would only get an A if they went out and said Colt starts the rest of the season. They are still doing that week-to-week bullshit.

    yeah but you gotta understand that he learned that from belichek. don't provide any info unless you have to. nothing wrong with that. keep the others guessing.

  • A

    I agree with the tact of not specifically naming him as a starter -- so far -- as a way of keeping that factor of pressure off the situation.

  • I kind of got the impression that Mangini is a bit reserved in heaping too much praise on him because he doesn't want too much unnecessary pressure on the kid. I'd prefer that he focuses on the next opponent and improving his game rather than worry about trying to be the next Kosar.

  • They should have put him in the Atlanta game. If the other 2 were hurt then Mcoy should have played and we could have won that game. But thats why I voted b

  • ok here's how I see it: McCoy has started against 4 of the NFL's elite teams. His record his 2-2, I would say he is doing just fine.

  • The coaching staff has to recieve an A so far this season. All you can ask the staff to do is put a team on the field that can compete. Im almost sure we have led in every game of the season so far. That is an impresive feat.

  • I give him a B simply because mangini wont publicly name colt the starter, However the fact is rather mangini names colt or not all the fans and all the browns players along with all the upcoming opponents and the rest of the NFL nation know barring injury or unforeseen circumstances Colt will be starting...

    Who is the one making himself look obscure, uncertain and even indecisive about what everyone else sees and knows?

    While colt is selliing tickets and getting browns fans and even our opponents fans and a nation excited, mangini is doing the exact reverse and putting a downturn on a good thing and in the process creating doubt about his own abilities to make no brainer decisions that are good for this franchise...

    You really think Mangini is THAT stupid and indecisive? Please!

  • I'd give them higher than an A if possible.

    These people get so worked up over Mangini's week to week nonsense, when there's no reason to. He's not trying to veil his intentions. He's providing a safety screen for a young QB. He's taking the bullet for Colt, and taking stress off him each week. The moment Mangini completely endorses Colt as the future of the Browns, there will be a ridiculous amount of pressure heaped on Colt's shoulders. Colt's had it hard enough as it is. By doing things on a week by week basis, Mangini is letting Colt grow.

    I think it's brilliant. It's going to do wonders for the guy's confidence.

    I think you and 'Peen are right on. Everybody and their Uncle KNOWS Colt's the starter- unless he really screws up- no need for extra pressure on the kid.

    One thing about Mangini- he learns from his mistakes. And he learned a lot from the Quinn DA debacle last year. I see there's still a few Quinn-bots here. 20\20 hindsight says Quinn was destined to be a never was regardless of how he was handled- not accurate enough. It will be interesting to see if the guy he's behind on the Bronco's depth chart (Tebow) will be a bigger bust than Brady.

    PS- I'll give Mangini only a "B" because he should have put McCoy in against Atlanta, instead of a crippled Delhomme.
