Just one day before rookies are due to report for training camp, the Cleveland Browns secured their potential quarterback of the future.

Third-round pick Colt McCoy agreed to a four-year deal Thursday worth up to $5 million, according to a league source. The normal slot is approximately $3.275 million. But McCoy got the "quarterback premium," which shows the faith Cleveland has in McCoy as its long-term solution at quarterback.
McCoy was a four-year starter at the University of Texas. Last season he threw for 3,521 yards and 27 touchdowns and completed 70.6 percent of his passes. McCoy is expected to begin training camp as the third quarterback behind Browns starter Jake Delhomme and veteran backup Seneca Wallace.

Great. Shows the kid wants to play some football. None of the Quinn holdout BS.

I agree, but part of the process is waiting for things to happen around similar draft slots.
It's just the nature of the beast.

Dez Bryant was the first first rounder signed... says he pushed it to not miss any practice. Good kid.

Shep, what makes Dez Bryant a good kid?????????? talented yes, good?, commiitted ?

Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes -
Very glad to see this. He is our long term solution. I don't want to be in the position to draft Jake Locker next year.

I'm pleased too as I have a lot of faith in Colt McCoy. Not drafting Locker won't bother me as I'm NOT a fan of his.
McCoy will be fine, especially not being rushed into the limelight.

I was being wry. Or a tool, depending on your perspective. I think his "character issues" have been GROSSLY overblown. No arrests, no drug problems, no fights... nothing. He played well in shirts and shorts, earned lots of kudos, and was the first first rounder to sign... because he doesn't wanna miss anything.
It's early, but he's off to a nice start telling everyone to eat his ass. I sure would.

I recently read that when Colt McCoy has a wet dream, he's Jake Locker.
And the last thing you want out of your starter at the most important position in team sports... is "fine."

The experts at National Scouting gave Jake Locker the same pre-season grade that they gave Colt McCoy last year. One guy is bigger and has a stronger arm, the other is more accurate and a more consistent decision-maker.
Don't pretend they're in entirely different spheres just because you liked the Pickle more than McCoy.

I heard in Jake's Locker hangs a picture of the real McCoy.

What QBs in the 2012 draft are you going to want us to draft when we pass on Locker next year???

Hopefully Hardesty next.
Does anyone have a gut feeling that Montario Hardesty will be a bigger asset for us than Haden ?

They're in WILDLY different spheres. McCoy was the 85th pick in the draft. Locker will go somewhere between #1 overall and #10 overall... unless he gets hurt.
Not in the same conversation. With only one year in a pro style offense, Locker was considered a strong candidate to go #1 overall. With four years as a starter in Texas, McCoy was a late 3rd round pick.
How are they in the same sphere? I don't get it.
Hey, I have my doubts about McCoy at the next level... but he was worth some risk and a decent value that late. Why not? But Locker has earned Elway comparisons, and that's really rare. He has world class physical ability... and he's smart with a great work ethic, too. He left a lot of money on the table to develop for another year under Sark.

I think the Browns are in a very complicated situation at QB, deciding how to use this brief "bridge" with Jake Delhomme.
I'm sure the team expects to compete this year. Let's say they go 7-9 and, as planned, McCoy gets nowhere near the field. They draft somewhere around the middle of the round... maybe 14th. Chances are that Locker and Luck are long gone... but there's absolutely no more evidence that McCoy is an NFL starter than there was last April, when he went 85th in the draft in spite of a VERY high profile.
What do you do? Do you let McCoy become just like Frye, a third rounder who makes you NOT take your serious long-term QB in the draft the next season? How long would the Browns go without an elite long-term quarterback prospect?
Before you say it, yeah... I think Holmgren is really sharp and I cheered the hiring. One of my fears is that he thinks he can make anybody a quarterback. I'm not sure where that comes from given that he's had two in his head coaching career -- Favre (a super talent) and Hasselbeck (a very good one, but never really great). One was a 33rd pick who was acquired with a first round pick. The other was a very specific situation, where he traded for a quarterback he'd drafted at a previous team.
What he's never done is drafted a quarterback after round one... and expected him to become a starter for his team. He always HAD long-term starters in place (Favre and Hasselbeck).

Without hesitation, yes. I loved the Hardesty pick.
