Weeden Vs Mccoy
-
Jim Harbaugh was the Colts QB for 4 year before Manning was drafted.
The Colts had a winning record 3 of the 4 seasons and even went to the division title game in 95.
As for before Harbaugh I have no idea who some of the guys they had were, Colts were pretty horrid in the early 90s.
Edit - Ah ok I thought Jeff George had left earlier than that but he was there from 90-93 so three starting QB's in one decade and the latter was Manning so hardly a case of QB musical chairs.

OK, right. The Colts almost went to the SB with Harbaugh when a pass into the end zone...sort of a Hail Mary was not held onto.

Brady first few game stats below!!!
2001 season
The Patriots opened the season with a 23–17 loss at Cincinnati, with Bledsoe as the starting quarterback.[24] Their second game, and home opener, on September 23, was against their AFC East rival, the New York Jets. Bledsoe was again the starter, when in the fourth quarter he suffered internal bleeding after a hit from Jets linebacker Mo Lewis. Bledsoe returned for the next series, but was replaced with Brady for the Patriots' final series of the game. New York would hold on to win, 10–3, and the Patriots fell to 0–2 on the season.[25]Brady was named the starter for the season's third game, against the Indianapolis Colts. In his first two games as starter, Brady posted unspectacular passer ratings of 79.6 and 58.7, respectively, in a 44–13 victory over the Colts (in their last season in the AFC East) and a 30–10 loss to the Miami Dolphins.[26]

Brady won his first start 44-13 over the Colts ... but I'm with ya, Weeds is going to torch the Bungles. I'm glad it is a road game, he won't hear boos ...then next week when he crushes the Bills at home the legend will be born.

Amen brother Give the Kid a chance the PATSIEs Did with Brady Not saying he will be even close to Marsha Brady But anyway solid lol
-
The only way to give the kid (Colt / Weeden) a chance is by getting a new game manager (Shurmur must go ......)

The first mistake was of course drafting Weeden too high apparently, so he'll always be saddled with expectations based on the opinion that he shouldn't have been taken at 22. Not making him earn the starting job, and coddling him during the preseason doesn't help either. Then on top of that RG3 looks fantastic in week #1, and Weeden fell apart against the Eagles. It's all coming together perfectly for Brandon, and I don't know if you'll get out of him what you're looking for anytime soon. I've stated before that one of his glaring deficiencies in college was the ability to throw accurately with pocket pressure, and I don't see that changing for the better. That being said he's not a worthless quarterback, and can throw as well or better than anyone out there. Holmgren and company have put the kid in a horrible position, but I wouldn't throw him on the trash heap just yet. If he can adjust to the fact that he won't have a hell of a lot of time to throw, and someone can actually catch the ball when it's there who knows? What Weeden really needed was to be drafted where he should have been in the 2nd round, and made to earn a starting job by out dueling another quarterback in practice & the preseason.

Anyone else watch the preseason and think "Colt is gonna kill a reciever one of these days"? He almost killed Massoquoi and Cribbs in the same game!
It is obvious after watching Weeden and switching to Colt that his arm-strength isn't good enough to be elite. His ball takes so long to get to the reciever that even when he is accurate, the defenders have time to cold-cock our poor recievers right after the ball is caught. It's no wonder Little started to get alligator arms last year.
It is important especially with our recievers to get them the ball in space and let them do work. Little, Benjamin, and Cribbs are all very good YAC guys but Colt does not deliver a quick enough ball to take advantage of this.
Weeden obviously couldn't throw it in the ocean last Sunday, but he sure provides a lot more upside than Colt. I just don't think McCoy's ceiling is high enough to be a superbowl winner. Why continue on with a QB that can't take you all the way? That's at least what the FO was thinking last Spring.

*Unspectacular unless compared to 5.1...

I thought the exact same thing... about Wheeeeden. The Red Zone in-route to Little that he "dropped" (as he was getting hammered by the Safety) was a classic example. He starred at Little from the snap! THAT is what gets receivers killed!

First, by all accounts Little got better as last year progressed. Second, while I have never maintained that Colt can or would become "elite", a strong arm is not a prerequisite for elite status. Right now competent sounds pretty good to me.

Our receivers have to get open first, which if you'll recall they did on a couple of occasions in week 1 and Wheeeedon flat ass missed them. Also Wheeeedon "winds up".... he may have the velocity edge on Colt, but release time is also part of the equation and Wheeeedon does not have a "quick" release.
Weeden obviously couldn't throw it in the ocean last Sunday, but he sure provides a lot more upside than Colt. I just don't think McCoy's ceiling is high enough to be a superbowl winner. Why continue on with a QB that can't take you all the way? That's at least what the FO was thinking last Spring.
You are simply placing way too much on Wheeeeden's as yet unproven arm. There is soo much more to becoming a successful NFL QB. And in answer to your question... 31 teams have a QB who cannot take them "all the way" every year.
What a pantload... Guess people can see anything they want to see.
