    I don't think he was being serous when he said that we got him in the sixth .........

    Actually, I was serious but I was wrong. I do remember watching the draft results and thinking how the Browns let McCoy slide.

    A 3rd pick is a legitimate pick with expectations of becoming an NFL player.

    However, I still wonder about the upcoming draft.

    FWIW, I'd like to see Mangini and McCoy get extended.

    I don't want to see either of them get extended! Why waste the money when Mangini has one year left on his contract and there is a 50/50 chance he will be fired anyway, and why give Colt an extension when he has 4 years on his contract and just passed a bonus clause that will next him $600,000 more in his 3rd or 4th year of play (i'm also not going to throw all my eggs in one basket with him just yet).

  • We'll see how Mallett does Tuesday night. I'm sure Holmgren, Haskell, and Heckert will be watching.

  • McCoy ran primarily a spread option offense at Texas. That uses more receivers and usually includes more deep balls than the WCO. Personally I'd love to see the Browns run either/both but each of those offenses require having a smart, fast-thinking QB, an oline that gives the QB time and having a solid stable of receivers and good TE's. As was earlier stated, good FB is also required.

  • No two playbooks in the NFL are identical, regardless of coaches backgrounds.

    An offense has to be built around the personnel, especially the quarterback, and not the other way around.

    I don't care what the base system or teminology is called, our offense next year has to be built around Colt's strengths.

    McCoy is a career backup QB.As evident the last 3 to 4 games.Passing 5 to 10 yards to a TE and RB won't win many games.He has been unable to pass down field in December and January.Lets not forget how great Brian Sipe was,yet he never won a playoff game.

  • You have to give McCoy more time!

    And this is why your sitting at a computer rathen then coaching in the NFL. This is his first year and he hasn't even played a full season yet but your willing to toss him to the wolves already?

    What's funny is he didnt even play 4 games ago but yet you say he's a back up qb cause of his performance the last 4 games.

    Not to mention the fact his ankle was sprained and he had the flu.

    Why do I get the feeling your a troll pretending to be a Browns fan?

    ok arm?he couldn't throw over 12 yards to a player on the field.All his long throws went out of bounds.

    Daboll won't let him throw deep and a throw I saw when he threw deep was to Robo and it was like 5 yards ahead of him
