Mccoy Traded

I'm extremely disappointed in hearning this news. Why not let him compete? This is a terrible decision in my opinion. Whatever though, you win... but at the same time, we all lose.
How is McCoy good enough to go to a team that contended for championship last year, but he's not good enough here? Well, you all got what you wanted, it's no wonder we're always so bad.

Demented and unable to accept reality all the way to the end... not surprising really...

He isn't going to be starting for them. It's not like they traded for him to be their guy. He's going to be their backup.

its a legit question...why does he fit there and not here? System probably. Colt may be functional in a modified WCO as they run it. But not in what we are end up going to do here.

i like it too.
was i the ONLY one to say watch out colt would love to follow his buddy dawson? cha-ching! score.
also was one to say they shouldn't cut him, meaning i wasn't with the majority of mccoy haters that thought he'd be kicking rocks down a texas road in a week or two.
thank you. thank you.

not trying to stir anything up...however if Kap does go down and Colt has to step up...(I've been pretty neutral about him not great not horrible)...If colt has to step up and he does great...the browns will be the laughing stock yet again and im sure ESPN will allot a 10 minute segment on how stupid we were....NOW im not saying any of this is going to happen...i hope im wrong actually

It's all about system. He doesn't have the tools to play in an offense based on throwing the ball down field. However in a WCO/spread offense that they're running in SF, he might be able to have some success.

Like SF isnt going to take a qb in this draft. Colt will b a stop gap in the backup position.It's all about system. He doesn't have the tools to play in an offense based on throwing the ball down field. However in a WCO/spread offense that they're running in SF, he might be able to have some success.
Great trade if we hit on a kicker.

Good luck Colt, we hardly knew ye. I hope you and Dawson do well together
You should convince SF to get Cribbs to. You guys all deserved better than what you got here. I hate this trade. SF has the second to the last pick in each round because they were in the Superbowl so instead of a 5th and 7th we end up with pretty much a 6th and next to mr. irrelevant pick... I'm sorry but that's not good enough. 49er's made a good move as Colt is probably better than anything coming out this year and we'll probably be taking Barkley at 6... -

Are you serious? We payed that guy a shit ton of money for 14 seasons after being undrafted coming out of college. I'd say things turned out pretty good for him. And you still can't seem to get it through your head that he DIDNT want to come back here.
And we hardly knew Colt? The guy got 20 starts in the NFL...we saw plenty to know exactly what he is.
Lastly...I'll bet you anything you would like to wager that we don't take Barkley at #6.
-
Don't forget the compensatory picks, PG. There will be picks after our newly acquired 5th and 7th round picks.
And taking Barkley at 6? LOL. That guy will be taken in the 20s. We're going DB at 6 or a trade back. We have to.
-
good for Colt, always liked him I think he had the intangibles to contend but got dealt a bad hand here with Mangini,Shurloss now a new system he doesn't fit.
If anyone can salvage his career it's Harbaugh.

My worst fear is one half way there , Colt Becomes the Next Joe Montana . The only way we win is if colt becomes the next Brady quinn . If he has one good season somewhere ; anywhere he will have a lifetime Job at ESPN and a admit one pass to the H O F . Media Loves to say "I told you so Cleveland .

Another unbiased opinion on the trade....
Trade is win-win for Browns, Colt McCoy
April, 1, 2013
By Jamison Hensley | ESPN.com
The Cleveland Browns traded backup quarterback Colt McCoy to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday in what was a win-win for the Browns and their deposed starter. The Browns sent McCoy and a sixth-round pick (173rd overall) in exchange for the 49ers' picks in the fifth (164th overall) and seventh rounds (227th overall), according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
This was more than what the Browns could have ever envisioned in getting rid of McCoy. The Browns essentially got to move up nine spots into the fifth round and added an extra seventh-rounder for McCoy, who was going to be released (and getting no compensation) if a trade didn't occur. McCoy had no chance of making the roster after Cleveland signed Jason Campbell last week.
McCoy is also a winner in this move. Like kicker Phil Dawson, McCoy gets to go from a perennial last-place team to a Super Bowl one. It's a nice reward for McCoy, who was a consummate professional even after the Browns drafted his replacement last year in Brandon Weeden.
It was a bad match when the Browns used a third-round pick on McCoy in 2010. He lacked a strong arm, which is a necessity to throw in the lakefront winds of Cleveland. McCoy went 6-15 as the Browns starter.
McCoy's last start for the Browns was a historical one. In December 2011, he suffered a nasty concussion after James Harrison leveled him with a helmet-to-helmet hit. It led to Harrison becoming the first player to get suspended under the NFL's enhanced enforcement of player safety violations. It also caused the NFL to put independent neurologists at every NFL games to better monitor players with head injuries.
Now, McCoy gets a much-needed fresh start in San Francisco, where he will compete against Scott Tolzien to be the backup to Colin Kaepernick.
Once again...pretty much sums up what we all were saying around here for the last month. And this dude is right...it's a win win for the Browns and for Colt.

You don't pay a backup QB 3m a year. It's that simple.

This is the same person who followed mainstream media by sucking Trent Richardson's #$%^ last offseason. I give him credit for going against the grain here and actually believing in something other than what people tell him to. The only problem is that unlike me, he's not willing to admit when he was wrong.
And you were wrong, dude. Just give it up. McCoy was out the moment Chud and Turner took over. He isn't their type of QB. Move on.
I don't think he has it in him. I'd imagine it's hard to go that far against the grain and then admit that you were wrong and 99% of the people on this board were right when they tried to tell you that you were wrong and gave reasons why he was wrong. I'll give him credit for not giving up....but it's time for him to admit he was wrong.

Assuming the Browns won't be in the Superbowl...
Canton Mike and I HOPE like heyl that Dawson and Colt get superbowl rings with the Niners.
They gave it all on the field, and they were class acts, solid people, and they love the game.
I hope Cribbs signs with the Niners, too, and gets that ring. Same thing goes for him.

Wow. What a great move!
