My thought on Colt
-
It's not Luck... but it could be Ryan Mallett. I personally think we'll commit to McCoy for at least one full year, but Mallett is kind of a Flacco clone.
-
Im not 100% convinced that mccoy is our guy but i will say he is the best prospect we have had under center since our return and this is even under an absolutely abysmal offensive coordinator and system, its going to be interesting to see what the colt can do in an unthrottled offense!
-
He has the tools to be the number one guy - and has shown some spark in his first few starts which is promising.

Formerly Stone said:
It's too early to tell!He looked good in some ways and very bad in some ways. he looked bad against tough, physical, defenses which any rookie is likely to do.
He could be a solid QB if the Browns don't ruin him.
like why do you care? go FXXK yourself steeler's QUIFF!!!!!

I know this year was tough...a lot of heart break but i think everyone should watch colt mccoys post game press conference i really got chills down my spine...I've always been behind this kid and i always wished that we would draft him....he said that hes committed to turning things around here and that made me so happy...i really hope that he stays our starting QB next season because once he develops he will be good...i dont start topics on here much mainly because im afraid of getting my head bit off but i want to hear from people who are NOT on the "cut colt" bandwagon because i know he will develop, give him the offseason and some weapons...this team will click i promise you all keep the faith...happy new year and heres to hoping the NFL can fix all its issues so we can see the browns be a .500 team next year!!!!
He had a bad game today. An excuse is the whole team never showed up. We got our ass kicked. What I have seen from him so far is that he can be a very good QB. He shows some of the key ingredients that make a franchise QB. The main question is in his progression which me and my great friend Ghoolie discussed today is will he step up and be the leader of the team. Demanding excellence from teammates, applauding them, and making plays that earn their respect, and MOST IMPORTANTLY taking command at crucial times.
That is what franchise QB's do. I think Colt can do that, if he is not broken first because our team is devoid of offensive weapons which I have been screamng about for some time.
Go Colt Go Browns.........give him a chance and provide him some weapons
BTW, Sam Bradford stank today and he was the top pick in the whole draft and he DID NOT HAVE TO PLAY THE FORMIDABLe STEELERS WHO DECIDED UP FRONT TO MAKE LIFE MISERABLE FOR COY...........our 100 million dollar line got shredded
Lets see what happens.......I am on your side
BTW, Sam Bradford stank today
Dead wrong. I watched that whole game. Yes, I would call it "The Futility Bowl" 2010, but Bradford wasn't the reason Rams lost. He has no receivers. There are few idiots in a uniform running around on the field pretending to be receivers, but they're not catching balls, so they can't be. Sure Bradford played may be a little too conservative but not bad at all for a rookie. Rams are gonna draft and sign receivers this year.

I'm concerned with Colt throwing more than 20+ yards... there were some errant passes today. Not sure if the communication between him and his WR was off.. but there were some iffy passes.. The 5-10 yarder, he can thread needles. However there were some drops today to that the have to be caught as well.
He looks like a QB. Has good pose. I'm just concerned with his deeper passes.
He needs a wr that can get separation. MoMass is NOT a #1 by any stretch of the imagination.
How can you even try to throw a +20 yard pass when you have 2 guys in your face before you even set up. I saw the line on Colt was something like 4 sacks, and a ton of hurries and knockdowns. Peyton Manning would have looked like crap with the non- protection he was getting most of the afternoon.
The first int hit Watson in the hands, another one he got hit when he was releasing the ball. FWIW, his hot read on the play was double covered and was a pick 6 waiting to happen.
For those who are entertaining the thought of trading up to get Luck, here's Carolina's asking price TWO #1s, and Hillis. Still interested?

No thanks. I like 3-4 win seasons.....
Carolina won't trade. They're not stupid. They'll trade Clausen....

I believe in Colt and unless Luck is there thats the only other QB i would want from next years Class give him some weapons and a chance to win with some more playmakers, we have no Jeremy Maclain or Desean Jackson playmakers to through to... Giving a little Heckert respect there

I don't see any way that Luck makes it past Carolina, Buffalo, or certainly Arizona if he is there. They all draft ahead of the Browns. I also hear that Jim Harbaugh may be a candidate for the Denver coaching job, and that Denver at #2 would not let Luck go past there. Denver has had good luck drafting Stanford QBs in the past. See: John Elway..

...but Bradford wasn't the reason Rams lost. He has no receivers.
This sounds familiar except McCoy plays in the toughest division in football and Bradford plays in the worst. If his defense had put them down by 14+ points early in the game then you would seem him being forced to open it up, and against an opposing team's defense who's ranked 27th. Compare that to McCoy who was playing against the 2nd in overall defense. McCoy has gained some valuable experience. If he gains a better defense and better receivers then we'll see.

McCoy doesn't have the arm strength to consistently win in the AFC North. Our division has two top rated defenses and two defensive superstars: Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu. Colt can make the majority of the throws but not ALL the throws. That's pretty evident in the last several games, the last two in particular. With Colt we'll be a 9-7 or 8-8 team because we'll consistently lose to the Steelers and Ravens.

Brian Sipe,Frank Ryan and Kosar didnt have the strongest arms in the world but they were accurate...I'll take that over some bomb throwining nincompoop like DA any damn day!

Would you also call Brady and Manning nincompoops because of their arm strength? Arm strength is not only about throwing bombs its also getting the ball into tight windows fast. I did not say Colt wasn't accurate or a smart qb, I just don't think those qualities outweigh his lack of arm strength in this division.

Oh well .. might as well just keep drafting quarterbacks, because McCoy isn't a prototypical quarterback. What idiots the organization is for drafting him in the first place. Obviously he's shown how terrible he is after a handful of games against good defenses in his rookie year. No chance he'll improve or prove himself with more experience and better receivers. We all might as well slit our wrists, toss a few more picks away on QBs, and resume the status quo.

Were some of you watching the same game I was yesterday? I saw a rookie qb that took a hellacious beating from one of the top defenses in the NFL (for two weeks straight) and kept on playing. I also saw a team around him that dropped two touchdown passes and tipped another into the hands of fore mentioned defense. I saw an offensive line and running backs that blocked like a pop warner team. I also saw a WR that was so suprised he caught the ball that he almost forgot to run after the catch. I saw only a few players that actually acted like they wanted to be there. One being the rookie quarterback known as Colt McCoy. There were times yesterday (as few as there were) that Colt threw the ball in tight space with a lot of zip. Wake up folks...8 games is hardly enough to say Colt McCoy is another draft bust. But of course...we pick up the pitchforks and torches yet again because we can't see that 20 out of 22 players didn't come to play. Then we wonder why the Steelers fans taunt us week in and week out.

McCoy can get the ball into tight windows fast. I've seen him do it plenty of times. Have you even watched him play? His arm strength issues people cite are inaccurate, fluttering deep balls. I've heard announcers praise his "zip" on the throws out to the sideline.

There is no way luck makes it to 6 and trading up wont be possible as we need to many pieces, plus colt should do fine he needs time to develop afterall the kid was slammed in against some badass teams and held his own quite well until the mangenuis tried to save his job by having colt do what he hasnt been properly groomed for..
Colt deserves a year to fine tune under a real OC that knows and appreciates a decent QB..
-
Colt will be a Good NFL QB... Growing Pains normal.

It really helps Colt that the Browns are going to the WCO. Why? Because Mallett is a Big Ben clone, or maybe Flacco, not a WCO type. McCoy seems born for it.
