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.

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!

Another great view on the trade...
Thoughts on Colt McCoy trade
Posted by Vic Carucci on April 2, 2013 – 12:53 am

Here are five thoughts on the Browns’ trading quarterback Colt McCoy to the 49ers on Monday:
>>Once the Browns added free-agent quarterback Jason Campbell, it seemed inevitable that McCoy would be the odd man out on the depth chart. Before Campbell’s arrival, McCoy was the closest the team had to experienced depth behind Brandon Weeden. With Campbell and his 71 career starts, the Browns have significantly more experience behind the second-year incumbent starter.
>>McCoy never looked like he would be a good fit in the offense coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner will employ. This scheme calls for a big, sturdy quarterback with a powerful arm to throw the deep ball consistently well – someone who can stand tall in the pocket, hold up against pressure and allow longer pass patterns to develop. That’s Weeden. That’s Campbell. That’s not McCoy.
>>McCoy was, understandably, one of the more popular players on the team. His likeable personality had something to do with that, as did the spark he provided the team when he was forced to become the starter in place of Jake Delhomme as a rookie in 2010. His hard-working nature and display of sheer toughness also made him someone fans found easy to embrace.
>>Contrary to an opinion that many McCoy supporters have often expressed to yours truly, he received a fair opportunity to start. I know all of the discussion about him not getting a sustained look with a better supporting cast than he had in 2011. However, I think he received sufficient time as a starter to demonstrate that he has enough physical limitations, particularly with his arm, to fall short of what it takes to succeed in the No. 1 role. And this deal is additional proof that he’s in the right role as a backup.
>>McCoy could carve out a nice career as a No. 2 quarterback. He’s a bright student of the game and should interact well with the Niners’ No. 1 signal-caller, Colin Kaepernick, who figures to be a star for many years to come. McCoy generally appeared to handle himself well under difficult circumstances when he effectively lost his job the moment the Browns made Weeden the 22nd overall pick of last year’s draft.

+1 Cal, I totally agree with this statement

This is a win for both teams, and even McCoy who gets to join Phil.
The Niners win when Kaepernick isn't in and McCoy gets to shine with that great O-Line and run game, which will essentially be the next Alex Smith type move for them.
The 5th rounder we aquire will hopefully allow us to grab a decent QB, if one they like falls to us that late, other wise any other need available like TE, or even a receiver or fullback, who knows?
And it was stated by Tony Grossi that the 7th rounder(227) was SanFran's highest of 3 7th rounders, which I like because we need a kicker and what better round to take a kicker like Sturgis out of Florida then the 7th?

why would we use any picks this year to draft a QB? that makes no sense whatsoever, especially considering this thread title.
2014 is where we would have to set our sights on a QB considering banner just went all in on weeden and campbell and be damned if you don't like it. if they go unproven and are busted look out for lombardi to make the 2014 draft his 'big splash' (belly flop or swan dive) after a top ten pick in a QB.
-
I'll laugh when Kaepernick gets injured runnig out of the pocket and McCoy starts and leads them to a SB under the guidence of someone that actually knows how to groom and facillitate QB's...good luck Colt...you never got a fair shake...but...you'll get yours eventually.

Good point but there's a big IF. I'm pretty sure there not gonna grab just any QB, but IF its the 5th and IF a QB prospect falls, then why not take him in and prep him a year instead of drafting a rookie next year who won't be quite as ready.

Shit.
I miss Colt McCoy.

i here ya.
my thought is if we find out this year that weeden isn't the guy, mccoy has been traded.....kinda tells me that homlgren really fucked us in his guru thinking that he could catch lightning in a bottle again...and totally failed.
maybe this FO can find that diamond in a rough with a late round pick? don't know. just hate the draft misses we have had since '99 for that position.
really hoping weeden WILL do it. if not, then 2014 best QB available, if not trade up to get our next kosar or sipe.

I doubt McCoy makes the roster. He will be cut before August.
-
I'm on the side of the guys who root for the underdog.
I'd imagine my favorite Browns player of all time was Brian Sipe.
Tell ya the truth this new system every year and new quarterback every year is just a pain in my ass. Almost like trying to wind a NASCAR race by pulling over every 3 laps to switch drivers.
If we could possibly get some consistency here over the next few years, who knows maybe...
If not we will suck for another 5 years until truck stop Jimmy packs up and heads for San Antonio.

What's laughable is how many times I've heard this same old line. What if he goes on and wins a Super Bowl? People said the same crap about couch, holcombe, frye, Anderson, Quinn, etc. face it: the browns have drafted a bunch of dud QBs with backup potential. I wouldn't doubt if colt does okay should he be put it in a game. But backup QBs don't take teams to the playoffs each year. Colt mcCoy had a chance to prove his worth and he was just not good enough. I don't see how hard that is.

Unbelievable how many homos love a shitty back up qb and glorify him. For what? Yeah he played hard and had heart. He got paid big boy bucks to do it too. I don't feel an ounce of sorrow for him but I don't wish him bad either. Back up qb gone, farewell
