Truthfully? His personal foible aside, we don't hate BR, we just hate that he is a Steeler, and that he often plays well.

I want Cleveland to know that the Browns now have a HUGE pocket of followers in Texas. Please enjoy Colt. He is a xxxxing class act ... and winner, above all else.

He gives Longhorn fans a reason to love football this year. Colt will get "our" Browns to places that you never would have imagined.

We have 100+ people frothing at the mouth waiting for Cleveland vs NYJ next Sunday. We are all planning a trip to Ohio to watch the Browns in person ... probably for the Raven game. Dawg Pound !!

Go Browns ... Hook 'em.

When you are here you should come to one of the Browns Board Tailgate parties. Let Roach and Atenears know how many you have coming so they can plan for you. I am sure we would welcome a contingent of #12s.

It may seem mystifying to see so many NFL-vagrant Texans but many of us became un-Cowboy-fans when Jerry Jones bought the team in 1989 and like why the hell would we ever want to root for the Houston Texans? Really?

So I root for the Horns and take an interest in the NFL teams that recruit Texas players.

I'm really happy that Colt is working out so well for you. He had a hard act to follow, you know. Vince Young was something like Jesus, Superman and Houdini all rolled into one. Somebody like Ryan Perriloux or Jevan Snead was supposed to take his place. Not that scrawny little small town kid with the squeaky voice. He seemed like a nice kid and it was good for him that the coaches were letting him be a place holder until a real QB could come along, but I never really viewed Colt McCoy as the next great thing.

Until that's exactly what he became.

And therein lies the wonderfulness of Colt McCoy. He's easy to underestimate. He's easy to overlook. He's easy to dismiss. Nobody will ever confuse him with Jesus, Superman and Houdini all rolled into one.

And then one day... you realize wow. Maybe he's the next best thing.

Teams are NOT gonna want to play the Browns the rest of the year. They don't give up many points, they've now confused Brees and Brady in consecutive weeks, they have a punishing running game... and a young QB who just feels like a winner.

If we beat the Jets on Sunday, this starts getting very, very interesting.

I agree with you on Colt... I seen the Pick and said That kid is a Player. Had NO Idea he would just walk in and have that Playground mentality though. That Missed assignment play No Back to hand it off to and the Rollout Right followed by a Bullet Delivery WOW. I know Brown Fans hate Ben Rothlisberger , but That play reminded me of Him early in his career. And the Kid has serious acceleration so you must be careful how you Blitz him. Impressive very much so.

I'm cautiously optimistic. The kid has the "it" factor in spades- especially after watching the dear departed Derek Anderson blow yet another game for the Cardinals.

Colt doesn't get rattled, gets rid of the ball quickly, is accurate, and is overall making good decisions- though he did get away throwing the ball into coverage a few times.

BTW, the argument as to who should start next week against the Jets is over, Grover. Mangini aint THAT stupid.

Texas does love Colt. I am missing the guy. He isn't your average player. He is a good person, who is gifted and will do whats asked of him. He will never give you less then 110% and he will never whine.

Yea, hopeful would be more accurate. I do think this time we have good reason for hope. Since 99 anytime Browns showed some bright spots. It was usually only in one facet in the game - which when stifled, would bring the team to a screaching halt. Where this team seems to have a solid foundation to build on - and can feel alot more comfortable focusing on picking up some recievers in the draft.

I haven't found that to be the case at all. We're HOPEFUL and gluttons for punishment, but optimism has never been our thing.
