Colt's Stats After 16 Starts
-
IMO colt will be the starter next year after winning the job in preseason against whom ever. If he ain't their guy after 2012 then the 2013 draft is where u snag your future. That's why i hope heckert trades down if claiborne isnt there and get the draft picks u need for 013 to sell out for say Barkley
-
Barkley is not the guy...Bray is your guy it's BRAY next year or no super bowl in 2015. All eggs in the basket either 2013 or 2014...its as simple as shooting fish blind folded from the back of jet ski in a hurricane.

Honestly I like Bray Barkley and Murry, all 3 run pro systems.
Ruining threads since 1897. -
So what plan of action would you suggest?
Draft some QB's, maybe 2 in this draft. Just get some fresh arms. Our QB roster was as thin as the WR roster and maybe thinner. Both need fattened up a bit more.

Running a pro system should have very little bearing on why you draft a QB. I think the only thing it may help with is the he will have less stuff to learn to become a starter say over someone who runs a spread. It doesn't mean a pro style offense QB is better QB than a spread offense QB.

I have to say Murray looked like a star in the SEC championship game against LSU's NFL caliber offense.

Those guys are all irrelevant. Different eras, imo.
Compare to Brady, Brees, Manning, Rodgers, Roetlisberger ... the guys that win in this era.

I believe I did that in the past month or two....and found that McCoy was comparable to them as well.

I didn't make the list, and I'm too lazy to look up the data. But, when I think about those guys that you listed, I think about them coming into systems that were already in place instead of the shitshow that is the rest of the browns offense.

Tim couch had similar numbers through 15 games. How did that turn out?
-
imo, most telling stat 0-8 in starts against afc north teams.

If we don't have Peyton Manning, RG3 or Andrew Luck at QB next Season, we are missing a chance to kickstart this franchise.
Sure, every QB can be compared to the all-time QBs through two seasons, I am guilty of doing it myself with Couch back in the day.
Yes, there is a chance Colt could turn into a franchise QB. But it is not a good one. He's a third round QB (But Brady was 6th round!) Who is short (But Drew Brees is shorter!) has an average at best arm (Chad Pennington took two teams to the playoffs!) has average intelligence (Bret Favre can barely spell!) and has been largely unimpressive in his first two years in the league (Look at all these other historical guys! Our system sucks! He has no weapons!)...
He's a good guy. He's likable. He's determined. He's hard-working. You wouldn't mind if your daughter brought home a single Colt McCoy to dinner. I like him a lot.
But we are not picking a mascot, a cheerleader or a prom date ... we need a franchise QB ... we need a blue chip talent to come in here and grab this franchise by the balls and turn it into a winner. That's a tall order. They don't grow on trees.
Peyton Manning can do it, we know that. Robert Griffin and Andrew Luck probably possess a better than 60% chance of being able to do that. Colt ... is a good guy we HOPE can do that.
How has that "hope" thing worked out for us so far?
Let's go out and get a stud.
We pick fourth, we have two #1's, there are real live franchise propects out there ... let's do this and don't look back.

Regardless of how the regime has pushed it off colt mccoy just does not fit well into pat shurmurs offense, he was exposed as not being able to utilize the small windows of opportunity afforded by our slow WRs/TE's for various reasons including the game just being to fast for him meanwhile wallace cold off the bench came in and both found and utilized some of those opportunities, so unless shurmur plans on reworking his system colt is not the ideal QB for this system even with faster WRs and better blocking..
We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS! -

Not too badly. He took the Browns to the playoffs in his 4th season, then he got hurt. I would expect McCoy to do the same.

Anyone that thinks that Seneca Wallace has come in here and outperformed Colt McCoy has got shit for brains. I have watched Wallace for every throw he has made. He has made what I consider to be one good play in three games.
He is a backup. He would be a backup for Colt McCoy....or for anyone else we brought in here.

That F**k someone else sees it the same way as myself, All I will say is if there is going to be a competition for the QB spot next year, it better be Colt against a Drafted QB or one from FA, not Wallace, cause like you have said he certainly didnt outperform McCoy in his end off season games. And this is from a supposed seasond WCO QB, so I will have serious doubts about the credibility of Shurmur and MH if they install Wallace as the QB to start next year. Some of Wallace decision making in those games was horrendous, and McCoy would certainly have coped better in those games that I have no doubt.

Agreed, McCoy > Wallace.
Neither of them will ever cost a Steeler fan or Raven fan aminute of sleep though.

--RG3 easily has a higher ceiling than Flacco or the redhead ... BGB's injuries will catch up with him ... RG3 best QB in division within 2-3 years.
I like your thinking and am hoping you are right. There will be a competition for McCoy at QB, be that a Draftee or a FA....or both.
-
or, not even in our division...at least lets hope.

RGIII could be a star in the future... who knows,..
but Wallace, with all his years as a backup, doesn't make reads, he just unloads the ball.
And, in that, he makes some really stupidass decisions. That puts him as way less an answer
than Colt is.
And, Wallace in the last game? He had Hicks at RT, and Hicks did a pretty nice job most of the time.
and Wallace still had a 42.whatever qb rating. And when Wallace wimped out and ran out of bounds
about 4 yards ahead of an oncoming defender? Really, Seneca? You could have had a first down easily,
you could have cut back on field and slid and gotten another 2 or 3 yards. Wallace has no fire, it seems.
He's been a backup forever for good reasons. And, I predict again, that if the Browns draft RGIII, Mccoy will still start
ahead of him, for at least part of the season. RG will have serious learning to do.
