Yep...we were so much better with his sterling 6 wins in 21 starts.
While I have to say that I am very glad that we did get a little bit of something for Colt, I have to ask...How many wins did Weeden get for us this year? And didn't he have a lot more talent around him than Colt had?
No...I am not saying that Colt was the answer or that we should have kept him. But, at some point, the Browns have got to give a QB some actual time to develop. or we will be stuck under .500 for many more years to come.

5 wins in 15 starts. This is the the year we will find out if Weeden is the answer or if we are drafting or trading for a QB for 2014. Everything is there for him to succeed from the coaching staff to the players surrounding him on offense. If he doesn't show considerable improvement this year, we are going to be going in a different direction next season.

After looking over many posts in San Francisco , I get a better view of Colt in the eye's of the NFL nation . Most 49r Fans like this trade . Most Cleveland fan are mixed . The first thing you notice about Colt is his obvious youth. He looks like a 19 year old Kid still .
This typifies most comments made on the 49rs Pages.
49rrr fan
I agree with everyone else, this is a great trade! Colt McCoy is exactly what you want in a backup quarterback. Smart, tough, reliable. Good player, great teammate. Young, but experienced. Cheap contract. Gave up basically nothing for him. I’ve liked him since his college days and he never had much of a chance in Cleveland.
He’s no superstar, but he’s probably one of the best 40 or so quarterbacks in the league. Definitely solid enough to be Kaep’s backup. I like Tolzien too, but I have a lot more confidence in McCoy should Kaep go down with an injury.
So, everybody gets what they want and Hopefully the browns can take that pick and move up one more time . If they do that we all can forget Colt and Move on .

"It was a bad match when the Browns used a third-round pick on McCoy in 2010. He lacked a strong arm, which is a necessity to throw in the lakefront winds of Cleveland. McCoy went 6-15 as the Browns starter."
Strange statement. If he lacked the strength to throw in the lakefront winds of Cleveland, how can he throw at Candlestick?
The 49ers did not give up much. Lower round picks don't generally make the roster of a contending team anyway. IMHO that pick is actually worth quite a lot more to the Browns. They can use it to add depth. Anyone know if the Browns had to pick up some of Colt's salary? This surprised me and in certain ways it does not add up. I thought he would be cut and then someone would pick him up at the league minimum. A lot of teams would have loved to sign as a backup, on those terms, an NFL quarterback who has started 20 games....even if his arm is not the strongest.
Weird that he is three years younger than the player who replaced him.

Wierd because niether Brian Sipe nor Frank Ryan had strong arms and did quite well here in cleveland...hey...ever hear of Joe Montana and the swirling winds of candle stick...??
Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~ -
the experts discussing matt barkley and his place in the upcoming draft paint a mirror picture of colt mccoy, yet they are projecting him to go in the 2nd.
if you watched excerpts of barkley's pro day it's like a mirror image of mccoy, yet he is getting respect. same throws on the run, same deep passes that take forever to get to deep receivers.
don't they remember things such as colt mccoy and how his career has gone until now?

Well, correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the 49ers no longer playing at Candlestick? Aren't they going into their new stadium in Santa Clara this coming season?
Who knows what the winds will be like in there. (Its not a retractible dome, is it?)

I honestly dont know Gip...I was just lamenting the fact the Joe Montana himself was blessed with not a strong arm and fared quite well with the unpredictable winds of then Candlestick Park.

So they will be the Santa Clara 49'ers.

No, they will still be the San Francisco 49ers. About half the teams in the NFL do not play in the city they are named after....or in some cases a team isn't even named after a city:
New England Patriots/Tennessee Titans/Arizona Cardinals/Minnesota Vikings.
Neither the Giants or the Jets play in New York, they play in East Rutherford NJ
The Buffalo Bills play in Orchard Park NY (and one game in Toronto)
The Washington Redskins play in Landover MD.
The Miami Dolphins play in what is now called Miami Gardens Fla, (it used to be something else)
There is some question as to whether of not the Green Bay Packers play in Green Bay. A map check may be necessary, but they may play in Ashwabenon.
Same with the Kansas City Chiefs. I thought they played in Independence.
The Dallas Cowboys haven't played in Dallas in decades. First in Irving, now Arlington.
Upon a double check, the Chiefs and the Packers do play in KC and Green Bay, but their stadiums are right on the border with those other towns.
