These people get so worked up over Mangini's week to week nonsense, when there's no reason to. He's not trying to veil his intentions. He's providing a safety screen for a young QB. He's taking the bullet for Colt, and taking stress off him each week. The moment Mangini completely endorses Colt as the future of the Browns, there will be a ridiculous amount of pressure heaped on Colt's shoulders. Colt's had it hard enough as it is. By doing things on a week by week basis, Mangini is letting Colt grow.
I think it's brilliant. It's going to do wonders for the guy's confidence.
I think you and 'Peen are right on. Everybody and their Uncle KNOWS Colt's the starter- unless he really screws up- no need for extra pressure on the kid.
One thing about Mangini- he learns from his mistakes. And he learned a lot from the Quinn DA debacle last year. I see there's still a few Quinn-bots here. 20\20 hindsight says Quinn was destined to be a never was regardless of how he was handled- not accurate enough. It will be interesting to see if the guy he's behind on the Bronco's depth chart (Tebow) will be a bigger bust than Brady.
PS- I'll give Mangini only a "B" because he should have put McCoy in against Atlanta, instead of a crippled Delhomme.
