Browns Will Entertain Trade Offers

The meeting went "you're gone. You know it, I know it. Tell me where you want to go and I'll see if I can make it happen."

Correction: The meeting went- "Colt, we're really sorry about how the last coach treated you. We know all about you and your budding development, all we can ask is for you to come out in training camp and give us your all, and in return we'll give you an honest chance at regaining your position... since Weeden was obviously a reach from the last regime. Boy!, they really wiffed on that old man, huh?"

And then the training camp battle goes like this.
McCoy comes out and dunks it down to Trent Richardson's feet. Weeden throws the ball down the field once and wins the starting job.

Actually, Colt comes out and heaves a 30 yard pass to Little on the right sideline, impressing the coaching staff. He looks at Weeden and says "Hows that for arm strength?"
Weeden trots onto the field, picks Colt up and throws him to Green Bay, where he lands as the backup QB.

Setting the stage for none other but...
Enter the fucking dragon.

Browns have been entertaining trade offers for McCoy since 2 years ago, and have received exactly zero offers.
I hope absolutely nothing is done this offseason -- because the available QB talent is simply not there to merit the resources. Moore and Manuel simply aren't upgrades -- keep talking them up as much as anyone wants, but consistency is absolutely nonexistant.
Next year, however, four QB's will go in the top ten picks : Bridgewater, Manziel, Boyd, and David Fales from San Jose State.
The point is NOT that I like our current roster. The point is that the Browns have only a set amount of resources, and I want the Browns to pursue players that will give the greatest improvements in [ (Dollars spent) / (INCREASE in performance achieved from our current roster) ]
If we get the BEST available FA LB and DB, we'll have a much better team in 2012 than if we flop QB's and keep the same LB/DB. We have the cap space today to sign Paul Kruger, Phillip Wheeler, Dashon Goldson [FS], and Keenan Lewis.
Also -- Hey, Browns front office: Stop starting undrafted rookie FA's at free safety. No.

Manuel was suggested as a project QB, not as a replacement starter for what we have on the roster.
I fully expect Weeden to be the starter this season, all season. No DA, no Moore. It will be Weeden.

^agree 100%.
also i've seen mentioned a couple times here and in other threads that colt will wind up being the backup in green bay. why would they want mccoy when their offense right now is predicated on the vertical passing game and as we know mccoy doesn't possess those skills?

Green Bay's passing offense is more heavily predicated on flooding the secondary at every level and having the QB make the right choice. You will rarely, if ever, see a passing play from them where they target a single area with multiple routes a la New England or Denver.
They have has the benefit of having two successive strong armed and accurate QBs as starters, but all that is really required is having tremendous football intelligence and good decision making skills. Their backups have been Graham Harrell and Matt Flynn, two QBs with less than stellar arm strength but with a great grasp of their offensive philosophy.
Colt would fit in well there. If we had adapted their offensive philosophy, I would have loved to see Colt become our starter. That is a situation I believe he will thrive in.
