Yeah…I wish he HADN’T gone back in the game. If Wallace had stayed in, Browns would have won.

Big Blue…. It has nothing to do with being a father. As a father, I look out for my children always. However, with papa smurf McCoy, he has quite the history of sticking his bear claw in holes where he has no business at all. He has enjoyed the fruits of NFL $ like no other daddy out there. Colts daddy has failed at nearly every business he’s had and his best biz to date is his son. Colt is Rudy for lack of a better comparison and if he’s going to play in the nfl, he’s going to get hit….period. If his daddy is scared about that, maybe pops should shut up.

Here is what I do not understand
Why are you all bashing the parents
Someone asked the dad what he thought and he told them.

Manning does not own TV stations reporters talk to him and he says it how he sees it.

While some of you may be happy to let your kids get beat up and not say anything.

I will look out for my kids till the day I die and my son inlaws know that Dad is always watching

Can Colt McCoy’s daddy get out of his business? Is he a doctor now too???

He’s been butting in his business even since college but guess what, he’s never complained once about ALL the money!

Colt’s daddy figured all this out about the concussion when he was tucking little Coltie in bed Thursday night.

@gcsuk
Don’t worry. Your mom said she didn’t want any more kids. Oh, I kid because I love.

@daryllh
Yeah. His parents hogged a significant amount of camera time in the stands at the Browns/Texans game. Watched their poor kid get manhandled for 3 hours. They went nuts when he scored that one mercy TD though.

What’s with this Pee Wee football where everyone’s dad has to speak for their kid?

Colt should have kept himself out, and the coaching staff has made stupid calls all year long that I’m not surprised they let him play.
=================================

The man had a concussion.
He was in no condition to decide if he should leave the game or not.
My daughter is 22 and I am not going to stop looking out for her just because she is an adult.

You sound like one of those guys that think that it is funny to let your 5 year old do a bong hit for your friend’s entertainment.

Either take away the helmet completely or make it bigger. Currently there must be Hall of Famers rolling over in their graves at the style of football that players are being forced to play these days. The league
Needs to make an equipment change, not more rule changes….

Dear NFL,

Please stop vaginizing the game we love.

Thanks,

A real fan.

James Harrison will get a suspension for this. His past history and the blatant nature of this hit will not be working in his favor. The Browns were idiots to put the kid back in the game after he had been knocked-out-cold.

His father is probably right. Maybe the Browns would have won the game had Seneca Wallace continued at QB. I believe he laid in a perfect pass to the 5 yard line before McCoy came back into the game and then threw the INT that pretty much ended the game for Cleveland.

Love how all you bums sit here and criticize mccoy for not being tough enough. Did you tards see that hit? Pretty sure James Harrison would have crippled you if that was you on the field. And you forget McCoy is still a young kid in the NFL. If That was my kid I’d be criticizing the browns too. Browns medical staff is pathetic. I work with people who suffered traumatic brain and spinal cord injury and know how quickly things can escalate and leave you in a w/c the rest of your life. browns should be fined 50 to 100 k for this to set an example. Colt McCoy will have to get a real job someday and he won’t be able to if we treat r athletes like this. He will just be another person collecting disability that we have to support

maybe if he learned to just throw the ball away when there isnt a play for him.

either way hope he recovers.hate to see anyone go down like that.after seeing what Sid Crosby dealt with for almost a year with them problems

spartyfi says: “this post was reviewed by 12 commies (thumbs down) and 3 Americans (thumbs up)….sweet country we live in.” Again, you show real courage posting anonymous comments bashing an injured quarterback and his father over a serious injury that could negatively alter his career. Stay classy, comrade.

Seriously, no hyperbole, the Browns got away with Russian roulette. It’s ridiculous.

I’m no Browns or Steelers fan, but Shurmur needs a bigger fine and/or suspension than anything Harrison gets.

And thanks, Steeler fans for reminding me how bad your fandom, as a whole, is.

so, what you’re saying is that we shouldn’t have the right to live our lives the way we choose? If Colt understands he could be a vegetable by 40 and still wants to play then isn’t that his choice? Last I checked this is still America!

Users who post anonymous comments poking fun at an injured quarterback and a father looking out for his well-being show real courage. If anyone deserves to get bashed, it’s the coaching and medical staff of the Cleveland Browns for putting him back in after suffering concussion-like symptoms. And though the Steelers won’t necessarily declare any of their players with concussions, at least they have enough sense to take out their players after they suffer from any concussion-like symptoms.

Get over yourself, Brad McCoy. Your kid isn’t a member of the Shorthorns anymore. Your word has no clout in the big boy world of the NFL.

Colt should not have gone back in the game for 2 reasons:

1. He’s not a good quarterback and Seneca gave that lackluster offense a much better chance of winning that game.

2. The poor guy clearly had a concussion. He didn’t need to be subjected to any further career ending hits or throw terrible interceptions because he doesn’t even know where he’s at. Made his performance look much worse than he did pre-concussion.

I guess that’s better than Colt’s Mom blasting the Browns after a violent head blow. ah yeah..

bbrophy1 — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:54:00 +0000

All we hear about coming from college to the Pro’s as a QB is that that the game moves faster so your decision making has to be come quicker. From a football perspective, where is the rationale of putting a guy with a head injury back in the game when his backup is playing well? Is Seneca Wallace at 100% not better than a groggy Colt McCoy?

Players are expendable to coaches. It won’t change until there is a performance correlation made. That last interception is on Pat Shurmur in my book.

Holy crap people! “Concussion” isn’t a fancy word for a bad headache. It’s trauma to the brain. It’s a brain bruise that could have short and long term consequences. Those can kill or cripple you depending on how severe it is.

It stopped being about football the moment you could plainly see he had ZERO idea where he was and looked at his face. He was gonzo.

By: edavidberg

edavidberg — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:27:21 +0000

Colt had what is possibly a quite severe concussion, he isn’t doing interviews. Someone has to speak out because the Browns screwed that up big time.

Its the guy’s father.. whats wrong with him having an opinion? Why wouldn’t he look out for the best interest of his son and make it known if he does not think the team did that? Its not embarrassing at all.

A bunch of red-meat, internet tough guys on this site. Its like the youtube of sports in terms of commenters. Most probably couldn’t earn a varsity letter in high school let alone college or the pros.

spartyfi, people with concussions are in no shape or frame of mind to be making decisions.

By: spartyfi

spartyfi — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:02:03 +0000

Lots of commies on this site that think what they think is how everyone should think. If a man wants to play with a concussion then a man should be able to make that decision. Good lord, when did we lose freedom in this Country?

So if I’m getting the gist of comments correctly on this thread, you actually want to hear the opinion of the parents of NFL players because of the severity of the injury.

Let me ask you this then, what does Mr. McCoy’s opinion of the matter add to the discussion? Did he add something new or bring a fresh perspective to the topic?

I’ll agree to disagree with you all if you say yes. His point is valid, but I’d rather hear from Colt, since he’s the one that was in the game.

I find it interesting that Brad McCoy didn’t blast Harrison for making the hit — even though it was crazy hard — he blasted the Browns for failing to take care of his son afterwards. So he accepted that the hit was a football hit and a consequence of playing the game (and Harrison’s job) and his real issue is that the coaches didn’t exercise sufficent care to protect Colt from further injury (which is one of the coaches’ responsibilities).
