I hate to make those comparisons but I think that the whole package of what you saw from him yesterday is admittedly raw but also more well-rounded than any recent Browns starter. Some of the "innate QB things" that Tomlin referenced were things like his ability to feel the pass rush and to make good decisions and be a leader. I never got the sense that #3 or #10 last year were able to do all of those things.

But remember, theres no film of him out there, so we cant crown him yet, remember the mistake we made with DA

Derek Anderson always completed 58% percent of his passes, and what was the percentage of McCoy's? 69.5 % completion. That's like Tom Brady shit there or dare I say Drew Brees like...

But remember, theres no film of him out there, so we cant crown him yet, remember the mistake we made with DA

I want you guys to know you've got yourself a great young quarterback.

I was a serious doubter when he took the reins from Vince Young back in 2006. I figured he was just going to hold down the position for short time before Mack Brown and company found themselves a high-value recruit to take his place.

Next thing I knew the kid was leading the team like he was born to the position and reeling off win after win until he became Texas' all time winning quarterback.

Give the kid a chance. You'll be glad you did.

I don't know. I think you just gave him the kiss of death.

The Guy is a a player and he proved it in college and now yesterday............and you stand tall with ......angst.........and now aprroval

sounds more hypocrite than a football mind

Go Colt a winner

I hate everything you say.

HOWEVER, Colt has impressed me today.

We aren't making the playoffs this season, so why not give him a chance.

Then we can go out and get him A.J. Green or Julio Jones in the draft this year.

Oh really he impressed you today..............hmmmmmmmmmmmm............ why were not impressed before.................

- Accuracy. Yes, there were a couple of throws into coverage but they were right there for his receiver to make a play on. The throw to Moore down the sideline is a throw that none of the last four Browns' starters could make. I would have liked to see a better throw on the slant but then again, he had two passes dropped that would've converted 3rd down.

- Athleticism. He has better wheels than people give him credit for. I don't know if he bailed too early on some plays but the TD to Watson was a great example of what he can do. He seemed at least as elusive as Seneca.

-Intelligence. With the exception of the dropped interception intended for Robiskie, I didn't think he looked all that confused out there. He made reasonably good decisions.

- Toughness. He stood in there and delivered the football and when he took shots he kept on going. The stage did not overwhelm him.

I agree that you can't say he's the starter the rest of the way but don't be surprised if he earns it. He looked better than Delhomme.

Very salient points; I say go with the young man

Maybe we could trade Delhomme for Troy Smith.

@diehardbrownsfan said:

I agree with your agreement. This was baptism by fire. He still made some rookie mistakes but against this defense I was pleasantly surprised. He has definitely earned the opportunity to show what he can do for the rest of the year. At the very minimum we know what we have going into the draft next year. If he does well then we can focus on other areas of need.

Im going be eating crow on this whole McCoy thing from a lot of folks lol.

I am excited to see what Colt can do in his 2nd start. The playcalling was extremely conservative in the first 3 quarters of the game today. If Daboll lets Colt be a little more aggressive throughout the whole game, we just might be able to defeat the defending champs for the 3rd year in a row..

He gives us the best chance to win, rookie or not. Keep Wallace as backup and dump the old fart Delhome.

Hope he stays healthy, he'll be a good QB...

Better to lose now with our future QB in training than to lose with a lifetime backup and a has been like jake...

McCoy has the tools now lets develop them with ratty at his back!

Let the Colt McCoy era begin ... that was some fine QB'ing. Now get the kid a #1 receiver and while you are at it, a #2 too.

Right on the money Stan, you lose your #1 and 2 receivers that we do have and he still performs pretty damn well, both interceptions weren't that bad either, I say start him against the Saints and at least that give you time to get Wallace and Delholmme back to full fitness after the bye week, and the front office can then make the headache decision as to whom to play.
