Franchise QBs

So now we look at Colt McCoy. At times he looked like he has the potential to be more than a position warmer. Does he have the potential to turn the fortunes of your franchise around, or will you pass on another future star at that position under similar reasoning to that which Dan Rooney used in 1983? Cam Newton may be available to you this year, especially if Andrew Luck changes his mind. So how do you feel about your QB position?Passing on Ben was ok considering who we drafted. KW2 was a great player and if not for his motorcycle accident would have been a cornerstone for the Browns. Unfortunately we did not have the advantage of hind sight. Passing on Sanchez was logical considering we had a good armed Anderson and a "hot prospect" in Brady Quinn. How was Mangini to know either of them would be bad ? He did what was right. He traded down to get a top center which was a need. Now we have one less need.
We feel comfortable with colt being our starter and Luck being in college for another year :-).

Sorry, you have your years seriously mixed up, neither DA or Quinn were on the team. Um, the Browns had end of the line Jeff Garcia, Kelly Holcomb, and Luke McCown as quarterbacks in 2004, and we give up a second round pick to take a tight End?
Tony Gonzalez will go down as the greatest TE in history, and is a lock HOFer. Ozzie Newsome is the Browns all-time leader in that department, already in the HOF- and what characteristic do they both share? ZERO Super Bowls. A TE is a nice complimentary piece if you have one- but not a necessity to get to the big dance.
