The Amazing Tale of Colt McCoy
-
mik.....Yes, I think you make a point about McCoy being saddled with a poor situtation....from the coaching to the RBs to the WRs.
That said, he wasn't good enough to overcome that.
And, that said, I think he is where his talent level will take him. A second or 3rd string backup QB

That one came out too small, so it was hard to read. Plus, it is like 3 years old. Maybe I can find something better.

Here is a bit of an older article I found that discusses the reasons certain QBs go bust. It talks about the drafting of Matt Stafford, but the analysis is probably still quite valid.
The only thing I disagree here with it the analysis of Tim Couch not having "intangibles". I think he had the intangibles. But he certainly didn't have the OLine, primarily, and he did come from a gimmick offense in college:
A question is: how would these factors apply to the likes of say, Brady Quinn, Colt McCoy, and other Browns QBs.
-
I should be the one to announce that the Niners did an about face and now say McCoy IS the backup. Maybe Harbaugh didn't like all the shit he was getting for trading for someone not as good as someone he could've signed as a UDFA.
"Intangibles" really do matter, but the two reasons QBs fail are below-the-bar arm strength (velocity) and an inability to mentally keep up with the complexity and speed of the game. Doesn't really mean you're "stupid," just that you have to process really fast and make your eyes/body keep up. It's not easy.
Weeden's still got plenty to prove. He has a serious A-list arm but the Colts put some heat on him (wow, did Joe Thomas have a rough day in every way or what?) and he did not handle it any better than last year.
-
I watched part of the game last night and McCoy looked pretty good. He drove them right down the field for a TD. He was 11-15 for a little over 100 yards. However I read today that he threw a pick. Didn't see it so who knows if it was his fault or not. But from what I saw I thought he definitely looked good enough to make the team, although they have Wallace, and Daniels there too who they took in the 7th round. My guess is Wallace will be the odd man out.

Read up a few where I posted the article. He is number two.

He will be starting at some point. You all will miss him like your ex-girlfriends

Good point. Because the only ones you really miss are the ones who could really suck

when it's prime ass pussy and they leave you all of a sudden you are stuck in a corner listening to some barry mannilow shit and crying your eyes out over a half glass of scotch and whatever drugs you can get your hands on.

It's "Gitche Gumee" Z. Derived from the Ojibwe word "gichigami." Honest mistake, I just feel like it deserved clarification. Carry on sir.
