Let's End This Colt Talk

Winning is a team stat.
thanks newb.
so the team 3 years ago was better than the team we have right now?
there's too many intangibles that go into each game played than to just come in here with a one line comment. who started what game? what was the majority of the play calling? who made mistakes? how many penalties? how many turnovers etc. etc.
winning is a team stat, well so is losing.

The first game was all on Weeden, I agree. Lets not forget about T-Rich either. He didn't have that great of a game during week 1. Week 2 was all on the defense for letting up more than 30 points. Week 3 was on the offense as a whole. They just couldn't get into a rhythm. Week 4 though, that was all on the receivers, especially Gregg Little for dropping the ball non-stop. So Weeden should not be our whipping boy on this forum. It should be the inconsistent play from our Wr's and Defense.
-
Or, we could just accept that we're an incomplete team nowhere near close to being a playoff team.
Our WR's are young and they're going to be inconsistent.
Our defense lacks depth and true playmakers so we're going to have bad games.
Our QB is a project and is going to keep fucking up until he gets used to the speed of the NFL and becomes a better decision maker.

I gotta agree with most of this, because it's the honest truth.

But, it is highly possible that after 2-3 more games all that stuff gels. Our you WR become consistent. The defensive depth improves when the injuries and suspensions are resolved....and the project QB gets used to the speed of the NFL and becomes a better decision maker. He has already made strides.

I don't disagree with you, that's what this season is all about. Getting reps for our ridiculously young players.
And with Haden, Taylor, and JMJ out it does hurt our defense but we still need to draft on defense and try to get some elite talent on that side like at OLB, DE, and Corner. The only positions we're set at are SS, LCB, MLB, and DT. Everything else could use some more talent.
And if Weeden does make strides, starts making the easy throws all the time and shows the ability to place the ball downfield I won't hate it. I don't like him right now, didn't like him when we drafted him, but it can change
At the end of the day I just want the Browns to be good.

"Hang on" is a chickenshit urging....
A real fan would urge us to "hold our breath"... and lead by example.
I'm tired of seeing the same played out argument...
And I'm tired of you believing you have proven anything other than your bias...
Let's call it even.
I agree with the end to Colt talk, but I am afraid The Gipper is right. When I see trolls post on here it seems like a lack of the response is the best response. Without someone to argue with, they will have to resort to being miserable by themselves.
Clearly you have no clue what a troll is...
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[3] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[4] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.Since the topic is Weeden vs McCoy, then anything NOT addressing that is trolling. Thus look in the mirror, sir, and see the troll.
I never said the coaching staff was upgraded. As a matter of fact, I think it was downgraded. Mangini, in my eyes, is a better playcaller, motivator and strategist than Shurmur.
Something we agree on... who'd have believed it... not to mention Ryan vs. Jauron...
Here's a puzzler for you...
Mangini and Colt or Shurmur and Weeden?
Hey... at least it's not the same old Colt vs. Weeden rehash...

After the first game I wanted to poop on wheeden. He is not very attractive our starting qb should be hot, right?
Any way wheeden has shown some balls the last 3 games.. I think we let him play it out and see how he develops.
Do I think we win a game or two if colt started yes..
why can't we have a hot qb with a good arm? So gay huh?
-
I don't want Weeden costing us a chance at an elite-level QB prospect just because Holmgren thinks he's a wizard.
IMO he has the rest of the season, if he does finish with upwards to 30 INT's and less than 15 TD's it's obvious he has to go.

I merely pointed out that the argument "Colt did more with less" was completely unfounded by using statistical analysis.
More than any of the Colt apologists have done.

It's a wash, honestly.
It's either vanilla playcalling with a superior physical specimen, or superior playcalling with a vanilla physical specimen. Pick your poison.
Gun to my head, I'd choose Mangini & Colt. The record will probably be the same at the end of the day, but at least you'll get to view exciting football. Nothing like a couple reverses and fake punts to take away the sting of being a sub .500 team.
Mangini and Weeden...now that would be exciting.

The gayest and most honest thing you've ever said.
This is the first thing you've said that I feel you actually believe.

I really don't get some of you. On the one hand you admit McCoy is not the future, but you think we shouldn't have drafted a qb. How is that even logical? You build an offense around confidence, timing, trust, and preparation.
I'm not kidding when I say you could put last years pro bowl team out there with Colt and we still wouldn't make the playoffs. Its no secret to any defense what throws McCoy can't make. It limits your offense. BW opens up options we didn't have when Colt was starting.
The point is this, there is tendencies that are individual to every qb. The line needs to know where he likes to throw from in the pocket, what he does under pressure, his snap counts, audibles, etc. The same and plus some for rbs and wrs. How the HELL do you justify developing that around a qb that you know is not the guy? The roster is never developing until the basics are attainable.

I can see both sides of the coin on this one.
One one hand you've got Weeden who is so far looking promising.
On the other hand the more NFL game film he creates the more NFL defenses will have to plan against him.
I kind of agree with Mik that we could of possibly held off another year with Colt as our filler QB.
But that's all Colt could ever be is a filler and game manager at best, he needed to be replaced.
Let's be real, the Browns settled for Weeden he was not our first or even third choice.
On top of that we could have probably even gotten him in the second round which makes me hate the 2011 trade even more.
It boils down to Weeden becoming a franchise QB, one that can win you games with his arm compared to Colt who is a game manager at best - who's not going to win you the game but won't lose it either.
You can say okay this is the guy we have to take him now while the opportunity presents itself.
But the fact is he wasn't their guy, he was the fat girl at 2am.

Only difference is (hopefully), Holmgren, Heckert, & Shurmur weren't drunk when they made the pick.
This was a win and win now pick, remember? The most convincing argument I can come up with for Weeden over Colt is Shurmur's opinion on the matter- and his is the only one that DOES matter- at least until he's fired. Should the Browns be 0-fer at the bye, my bet its bye-bye Pat. I've brought it up in another thread- but I'll say it again here. Shurmur HAS to know he's coaching for his job- you really think he's going to bring along a developmental qb in Weeden if he honestly thinks Colt gives him the better chance for a couple of wins NOW that conceivably could save his HC gig? He'd have to be out of his freaking mind. Patsy falls flat on his face here, IMHO he's permanently done as HC material- and as our Rams fans visitors thought he pretty much sucks as an OC too. May get busted all the way back to quarterback coach.

Clearly, if someone is posting comments about how Colt should be the QB just to be inflammatory and to provoke emotional responses, that person would be a troll. I don't expect the greatest reading comprehension from everyone, but this seems fairly straight forward to me. As far as being a troll, your posting about the definition of a troll as a response to my post regarding Colt apologists and people who post just to fan the flames while in a discussion titled "Let's End This Colt Talk" meets your own definition. A little ironic..

Agreed it should be ended... Colt won more games for the Browns the Weeden had in his first four games. You can look at all the stats and all the new weapons Weeden has but simply put you are absolutely right, Colt was the better QB...no need to talk because he is the Man. He doesn't need to talk the talk cause he has already walked the walk...thank you for clarifying this Couchy.
