Problem Is Not Receivers It's Mccoy
-
he is very accurate throwing medium and deep balls.
im curious as to where you have actually seen this? besides the fact he had throwm so very few passes beyond 10 yards, i have see exactly the opposite. his accuracy is getting worse....on every pass, not just medium to long. i do believe he threw a pass behind a defender.
just not seeing it. he's gotten consistently worse since preseason game 1.
Just look back as far as the Miami game......Cribbs and Momass.....both excellent deep throws....excellent catches by the receivers, but still, he had to put the ball in the right place. I've seen it since last season. I'm not completely sold on Mccoy being a top flight QB, either. I just think he can be a very good QB, who will be consistent, and will make some big plays, once he develops a chemistry with the receivers. Very few QB's can win games without talent around them. Look at Pittspuke.....now that the Oline and is unable to give Big Gay Ben time and protection, how does he look? Colt is never going to be Tom Brady or Peyton Manning....but he can be a winner with decent talent and coaching. He has natural athleticism and is very intelligent. If he is still making stupid mistakes, at the end of the season, maybe I'm wrong. No problem.....I've been wrong before ( Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, Butch Davis,....). In fact...I was not thrilled when they drafted Mccoy, but after watching him develop, I've changed my mind. In reality, I want him to succeed so we don't have to go through that process of drafting a QB again. What makes anyone here think we can make the right decision?im curious as to where you have actually seen this? besides the fact he had throwm so very few passes beyond 10 yards, i have see exactly the opposite. his accuracy is getting worse....on every pass, not just medium to long. i do believe he threw a pass behind a defender.

Colt McCoy is a very serviceable NFL QB who is a couple steps below the good ones, but a couple steps above the ner do wells. We made the playoffs with Kyle freakin Boller here, and Colt is defeinetly better then him. Hang in there, Colt will be fine.
your defense has always kept you in the game. that can nullify inept play on the offensive side of the ball a lot of times. our D can't. we're playing from behind in almost every instance which doesn't help play calling, which in turn makes colt's deficiencies more glaring to most of us here.

I see your point, and again, I think that if put in the right situation, I really do believe Colt could be a good to very good NFL quarterback. But Hoorta said it best, Rome wasn't built in a day and I see improvement in Cleveland especially through the draft. Kinda reminds me of the Lions, although the Browns were never as bad as Detroit. But just like Detroit, the Browns day is coming soon. As a true football fan, and a fan of football history, I can honestly say that I look forward to December Ravens-Browns games that truly matter to both teams.

These McMorons around here are like the first two of the three little pigs. They want the team to be built quickly out of straws and twigs through the scrubs of free agency, instead of methodically out of bricks and mortar through the draft and highly selective free agent signings.
See the Eagles and Redskins.

hey guys, this is my first time here in this forum.
my thoughts on the browns receivers, they just aren't good enough. momass is the best, but even he would struggle to make most nfl teams. but this is our lot, what we have to work with. until our receiving corp gets it together, it just doesn't matter how well McCoy throws the ball. come on, it's clear his accuracy is good enough. but right now he is not consistent enough. that should come in time. but our receiving corp, that's another story. neither of them have break away speed, and if momass comes out as our top receiver, that shows the quality of the group right there. of all of them, only little seems to have a chance of improving enough to make a fairly reliable receiver. let's give him a chance to see what he can do during the rest of the season.
our beloved browns are not going anywhere this season. we gotta face up to the fact. do i think the offense will get better as the season goes on? maybe. but i'm not counting on it. do i think that McCoy will improve as the season goes on? again, maybe. but i feel that if the line can pull it together a little better, give the kid an extra second or two, we will see good improvement from Colt before the end of the season. that's really all we can expect at this point, right? we're not superbowl ready by any means, so the best we can hope for is improvement in key areas. this off season should be a good one for us. no lockout to worry about and hinder our growth. spring training. maybe a few good trades and pickups here and there, and of course the next draft.
and one important thing, our browns are now being led by one of the best brains in football. there is hope in Cleveland!!!

Well, I've been perusing this board since last year and since you're all freaking out I figured I'd step in and offer an outside opinion. I'm a Longhorn alum, so obviously I'm a Colt fan. So yes, I will be a bit biased, but I think overall I'm giving you a fair assessment.
Face facts. You're the Browns. Your team is awful and has been awful for a LONG time. Great fans. Great atmosphere there. Team stinks. The Browns aren't going to magically become the Green Bay Packers overnight. The Browns have been battling systemic organizational issues for years. It isn't just the coaches or the players. It goes all the way to the top. Thankfully, you guys started turning that around with Holmgren. Someone who actually knows what he's doing. Of course, Holmgren would tell you the same thing. You don't build a consistent, winning football team in a year or two. It just doesn't happen. Everything has to change from the coaching staff, to the personnel, to the front office, etc.
So, let's review what we're looking at here with the 2011 Browns. You've got a new coach. You've got a new system. You had a lot less time to implement that system over the off-season because of the lockout. While other squads already knew the plays, the assignments, etc., your team didn't. They have to get up to speed. It's the WCO, too. Not some simplified nonsense. It's a system that requires timing more than anything and you get timing through lots and lots of practice and repetition. Things your players didn't get enough of because of the lockout. So it's going to be a process getting them to where they need to be. You aren't going to have overnight success. It just won't happen.
Now, personnel. Wow. Where to start? Honestly, your best receiver is a TE. Watson is legit. Everyone else out there? Definitely suspect. Even Massaquoi. I wouldn't want any other receiver on your team as a starter. They lack speed, quicks, and from what I've seen they're lazy a lot of the time on their routes. Oh, and never pass the ball to Hardesty again. Thanks.
I saw someone in this thread mention that the Browns have one of the best O-lines in football. Wow, again. Whatever that guy is smoking, we all need some. Forget handling assignments for a moment. The Browns' O-line is a comedy of errors through four games this year. How many false start penalties do they have? It isn't just one or two guys, either. It's the entire line. It's like they take turns screwing up. When it actually comes down to handling their assignments and getting their guy blocked, that doesn't always work out so well either. Colt is often running for his life back there. The reason the Browns don't have the highest sacks given up total in the NFL right now is because Colt is so mobile and able to escape pressure. Imagine a Peyton Manning standing back there trying to play pure pocket-passer football. He'd be lucky to have all his appendages attached after four games.
Your running game last year under Hillis was pretty solid. However, Hillis fans stupidly voted him up and now he's suffering under the Madden Curse like every player before him that's had the cover. Hardesty is an abject failure so far. Something has to change here.
Now, on to your defense. Holy hell. I'm a fan of Haden and Ward. Thought they were great additions. Still, they ain't there yet. It's one thing to be out of position a bit or get beat by a receiver every now and then, but Jesus H. Christ. You had Titans receivers wide open all day. I'm talking like 20-30 yards wide open. And who was that Browns DB that decided it'd be better to queef on Jared Cook while he was rumbling down the sidelines instead of actually pushing him out of bounds? He should have been fired before the game was even over. Atrocious.
So, let's recap. Your O-line, receivers, running game, and defense are all sub-par. The entire team is running a new system under a new coach with less than ample time during the off-season to learn what they need to. Yet, according to some of you football geniuses, it's the QB who is mainly to blame for your problems? Seriously, Clark?
Yeah, Colt isn't where he needs to be yet. He's a second year guy who has had to switch systems in a short amount of time. He's going to have rough spots. All new QBs to the NFL do. However, some of those QBs have the pieces around them to make the transition easier. See: Sanchez in New York. See: Rodgers in Green Bay (also getting to sit behind Favre for years probably helped, too). Colt doesn't have that luxury. He's on a really bad team and he's desperately trying to make plays while also not screwing up and putting his team in a hole. That's tough on any QB, especially a 2nd year guy.
My suggestion would be to hold your water and accept that the Browns are a year or three away from being a seriously good team. If you want instant gratification, the NFL ain't for you. Unfortunately, that seems like what the Browns have been chasing after for a long time. We're doing badly, blame the QB, get a new one. Damnit, we're still doing badly! Blame the QB, get a new one! What in the hell hootinany is this?! We're still doing badly?! Blame the QB, get a new one goddamnit!!! Oh, and switch coaches a time or three in that period while we're at it.
That is never going to get you a team that wins year in and year out, consistently gets to the playoffs, and potentially brings you home a title. You finally got a guy in Holmgren who can bring some professionalism and stability to your organization. Chill, let the team develop, and enjoy the wins when they come. Flying off the handle when your team, as bad as it is, is still tied for 1st place in the division is asinine and childish.

My concern is this. I see a QB like Andy Dalton, and he is looking better than McCoy. Sorry. But he does look better IMO. Colt seems to have the jitters in the pocket. If he's not rolling out, he's not comfortable in a pocket.

I agree with most of what you say, but you being a Colt homer..you just put almost all the blame on everyone else but Colt
I will say this, I never once have ever said anything about our front ofice or our coach, no I didnt understand the hiring, but not a whole lot of people knew who Tressal was either when he too over Ohio State
The people who hammer Colt on this site, they hammer him because he lacks what it taes to be a great QB in the NFL... No Arm, undersized, does not read defense as well as we thought. Look if you want a sub-par/ok QB then Colt is your guy. Trust me I wish Colt had everything that makes a great QB.
I do diss agree about our Defense, I think our Defense is one bad ass linebacker away from being a top 5 Defense, and another CB
O-line, nobody said one of the best in football this year, last year with Steinach Top 5 O-line
WR- Little will be a beast in the NFL, but yes we need a Megatron on our team, but dosnt everybody???
RB- They need to fix Hillis crap, and run a two back system, Hardesty dropping the ball, everybody does, just not 5 times in a game
Recap- Browns are not good, I think people knew that, but saw our weak schedule and thought we could make a run, if all the pieces fell into place. Problem with weak schedule not as weak as eveyone thought.
That being said...I really think I am going to end up enjoying the past baseball season with the tribe than this years Browns

My concern is this. I see a QB like Andy Dalton, and he is looking better than McCoy. Sorry. But he does look better IMO. Colt seems to have the jitters in the pocket. If he's not rolling out, he's not comfortable in a pocket.

I've watched every one of your games, this season (which hasn't been easy, living in San Marcos, Texas) and I don't think Colt looks jittery in the pocket. He looked pretty comfortable orchestrating that come back drive that ended with an end-zone catch by Massaquoi. Honestly, the problem with this team is not McCoy, and its a shame that so many fans on this board are throwing him under the bus.

Colt is definitely looking uncomfortable and jumpy in the pocket, he has been overlooking reads and scans right past open targets to hit his primary which i do not like..
As tom brady once said, primary target? My primary target is the guy that is open..
Im not blaming colt here as there is all kinds of issues from the O-line to slow unaware WRs and RBs and TEs that cant hold on to the ball right down to poor personnel decisions and no vertical passing nor screens planned in by the coach.
Shurmur does not seem to know what this team does best but the fans do..
Its simple give the ball to hillis, pass the ball to hillis, give the ball to hillis, pass the ball "vertically" to moore and watch what happens..

The people who hammer Colt on this site, they hammer him because he lacks what it taes to be a great QB in the NFL... No Arm, undersized, does not read defense as well as we thought. Look if you want a sub-par/ok QB then Colt is your guy. Trust me I wish Colt had everything that makes a great QB.
I do diss agree about our Defense, I think our Defense is one bad ass linebacker away from being a top 5 Defense, and another CB
O-line, nobody said one of the best in football this year, last year with Steinach Top 5 O-line
WR- Little will be a beast in the NFL, but yes we need a Megatron on our team, but dosnt everybody???
RB- They need to fix Hillis crap, and run a two back system, Hardesty dropping the ball, everybody does, just not 5 times in a game
Recap- Browns are not good, I think people knew that, but saw our weak schedule and thought we could make a run, if all the pieces fell into place. Problem with weak schedule not as weak as eveyone thought.
That being said...I really think I am going to end up enjoying the past baseball season with the tribe than this years Browns

Defense is far from being top 5 and your snap assessments of Colt are funny.

here we go again. give a qb 2 years with 2 different coaches. terrible defenses, no o-line, and terrible WRs
but its gotta be the QB...its always the QBs fault in cleveland. no wonder the browns pick in the top 10 every year
-
Its funny how people just can not llok at the Browns without there Blinders on. I have said this a 10000000 times
Fact: every team in the NFL pass on Colt TWICE some three times!!! Why is that????
You want a third string QB who has no arm and can not read defenses or look over the O-line. ( please do not give me that Brday was a 6th round pick bullshit either)
Colt will be a great back-up in this league
If he went anywhere else besides Texas, people would not be some "Colt is great, hes our future" The reason he was winning QB in CFB history is because Yexas was loaded everywhere on Offense, Defense, and Special teams...
Colt will be our QB for the next couple years, he will be ok..Our Front Office will keep getting us players, and when we are ready to make our super bowl run. Colt will not be our QB..

and your assessment that noodles looks comfy back there is even moreso a joke. you watched the games? sure ya did.great...he looked good on one drive. its all the other drives where he looks like shit are the real issue and the source of our concern.
i thought texans knew something about football. are you all homers that are blinded by good college performance?

i almost dont know how to respond to such a witty comment....the hours it must've taken you to come up with such a solid and unique put-down.
perhaps if you weren't a blind homer, you'd see what i see. im not the only one who has these complaints, youre just to awestruck to be objective, and think holgren can do no wrong cause he rode the coattails of great football minds in the past. this is further supported by your little one-liner quips that offer....wait for it....absolutely no substance. the reason for that is obvious....

he looked fine on several drives and had the commentators giving him props on ESPN too. you sir are what we call a hater. and I bet we play and you're winded about 5 minutes in. Keep it coming guy.

Awestruck? The Browns suck. I'm not the one who thinks they should be winning every game
(You do, you think they are a good team that should win every game. You are actually contradictory. If Holmgren sucks, then the product on the field sucks, and should not have won a game this year. But wait.. if they are talented, then H&H must be doing something right. So it's the coach that sucks? So how's that Holmgren's fault from a talent perspective? So which is it? Oh wait it's all McCoy's fault. He can't get the ball to his world-class receivers, who were picked before H&H. So it is H&H's fault, right?)
I'm just saying two years isn't long enough to flush the toilet of the shit that was here and replace it with fresh water. It takes a little longer.
