  • Colt deserves this raise because he's going to get a fair shot this year and he's going to be our starting QB when the games start counting. Not only that, he's going to lead our team to the promised land- The Playoffs, This year! He's probably going to throw for 26 TD and scramble for another 8 easy. Something to the order of 3,700 yards vs. 13 interceptions. Even at his best Hillis is no Trent Richardson and that alone will be enough to let Colt truely shine like I know he can.

  • Can't we just put that pipe dream away!

    Can I have some of what you're smoking? He'll get a fair shot on another team to be the backup quarterback.

    Seriously- let's take Weeden out of the picture for a minute- if the Browns thought McCoy was the answer, why were they even in the bidding for RG III?

    Don't kill yourself when the Browns cut Colt loose.

  • It's going to be Weeden and either:

    Matt Moore, Matt Cassell, Derek Anderson

    My money is on Moore.

    Don't forget Thad, he played well against the Steelers.

    McCoy is gone.

  • It's funny how people become fans of a Quarterback instead of fans of a team. I don't know if Poetic is pulling our strings (probably) or not, but there is no way in hell McCoy will be here come training camp.

    You would have to think and hope so with 8 scrambling TD comment

  • Did anyone read the article written about Weeden fitting into the new offense.

    McCoy, 26, triggered escalators in 2012

    How did he trigger them? By handing off and drilling some passes into the turf before getting hurt?

    Probably merely a roster bonus.

  • While I'm no Colt McCoy fan, I sure don't get all excited about Brandon Weeden either! IMHO, the Browns STILL have no QB. 14 seasons after coming back into the league we're still starting the season without knowing for sure who are QB is gonna be!

  • Thats because you haven't seen Weeden succeed yet

  • Weeden is going to be 30 years old next season! By the time he "succeeds" he'll be ready to retire! Besides, a canon for an arm doesn't mean much if it's not connected to an NFL brain!

    He may be a complete success next year for all you know. Many QBs get by their second year. And are you saying that age is too old?

    Then I guess you believe the Peyton Manning and Tom Brady should have each retired several years ago. I mean jeez, they are what? 37 and 35 respectively. Too damn old for this league?

    I don't think it will be Cassell. I could see Anderson or Moore and I wouldn't mind it being Matt Moore. He played well for the Dolphins down the stretch before they drafted Tannehill.

    "May be" just gets old!!! For all YOU know, he may suck worse than last year! Frankly, I'm tired of wondering who the Brown's QB is going to be every year.

    I'm an "old" fan, I've been following the Browns since 1962. It never used to be like this. But it's been this way since 1999.

    Well, let's see, in the past we have acquired Super Bowl winning QBs (Mark Rypien, Trent Dilfer), Super Bowl losing QBs (Jake Delhomme), #1 overall draft picks (Tim Couch), other First round draft picks (Brady Quinn), third round draft picks (McCoy, Frye) guys from off the scrap heap (Anderson,Testaverde, Holcomb), thirteenth round draft picks (Sipe), Supplemental Draft picks (Kosar) etc. etc. etc. None of which have brought a title to this town since the Browns traded for Frank Ryan.

    So, nobody knows shit about how to get this right.

    And for what its worth....unlike you I am NOT wondering who the Browns QB is going to be. I am reasonably certain it will be Brandon Weeden.

    I am wondering who will play cornerback opposite Haden. I am wondering who will play free saftety. I am wondering which two players are going to play OLB. I am wondering who the kicker will be, and the kick and punt returner.

    Those are question far more up in the air than who the QB will be in my mind.

  • Browns Prepared To Part Ways With Colt McCoy?

    Salvador BorboaMarch 4, 2013 1 Comment

    Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer writs that it’s doubtful that QB Colt McCoy is back with the Browns next season.

    According to Pluto, the Browns “don’t believe McCoy can be a viable starter” and are reportedly considering Matt Moore and Matt Cassel as backups that could push Brandon Weeden for the job next season.

    McCoy, 26, triggered escalators in 2012 that increased his salary from $575,000 to $2.325 million for the upcoming season.

    Considering that Cleveland’s new front office is reportedly not impressed in him, it seems as though there’s a decent chance that he’ll be cut loose in the coming weeks.

    The Packers were rumored to have interest in McCoy last year given their need for a solid backup quarterback and ability to develop the position, so they could show interest in McCoy if is in fact released.

    I don't Know if colt needs a raise but, Id like to see him given the same chance as weeden or any QB for that . I just would hate to see him turn up somewhere else with all star Numbers because shurmur didn't give him a fair Chance . But I will say There is no time left for Colt to dilly dally around If he's got something its time to show up and speak up .How can we really know what he can do the same reasons that apply to Weedens failure last year apply to colt also .

    Colt is done in Cleveland. He doesn't fit in the offense that Chud and Norv want to run. Why do some of you have such a hard time understanding this?

  • Colt doesn't fit the Chud offense?

    Well, the only reason is, that he doesn't have a cannon arm.

    But Weeden doesn't have the fire of Colt, the mobility of Colt, and

    even Richardson said he was having trouble with the offense because

    it was too complicated for him so early. To finally get a solid RT,

    and then not give Colt a chance to show what he CAN do,,,,

    well, maybe he doesn't fit their offense, sure, but just out of spite towards

    Shurmur, wherever he is....

    I'd love to see him get to play this preseason, and if he can show he can play...

    good for him and a trade to a wc offense somewhere, that's how I see it....

  • I'm gonna say it's Chase Daniel and maybe Dysert in 4? Neither Colt nor Thad make a lick of sense in this offense. Same for Foles in Philly. He won't be on that roster. No way, no how.

    We couldn't get a sixth for McCoy last year. I said it before: To get someone to take him, we'd probably have to throw in a draft pick. Like a dowery. He's so fricking horrible it's absurd.

  • Why do we think Colt's "fiery?" I don't get that. Haven't seen it. At all. As if it helps anything. He's just a low-end talent: Weak arm, horrific accuracy even at like 10 yards, mobile but not really instinctive getting yards with the ball... not even a great backup.
