The only thing that worries me about this is that our brain trust felt our receivers (mo mass & robiskie) would make a big leap last year and we all know how that turned out

Ya gotta remember to that his receivers couldn’t catch a snow flake in a blizzard either. This greatly reduces his numbers. He had some nice throws but when the receivers don’t catch it what can you do. I’m a Stiller fan and I am rooting for colt

Then why was The Walrus whining about not getting the # 2 pick from the Rams?

A big leap for McCoy would be to go from incompetent to competent. They better hope it’s a HUGE LEAP.
———————————————-
Last year (2011), McCoy’s numbers were almost identical to Joe Flacco’s, and McCoy doesn’t have nearly the amount of help around him Flacco does. Funny, most people consider Flacco a pretty decent QB. The year before that (2010), McCoy was statistically better than he was in 2011.

Incompetent?

I think “doctorfootball” here should be sued for malpractice. Get a clue, doc.

For his sake, I hope they get him a better helmet.

Stop hating on McCoy. Seriously, you expect every player to come in from a lockout, with a new offfense, and do good. Some players were able to do it, some wern’t. McCoy is the latter. His rookie season he was very promising. He now has a whole off season to get used to his team, methods, terminology, timing, and more. In addition, if they give him weapons, it would give him a much better chance at suceeding. I wonder if Aaron Rodgers would have played his 1st & 2nd year how he would have done. Remember, Manning didn’t turn around the Colts in 2 years, Brady was a backup, and Warner bagged Groceries.

If the Browns do anything at QB, they should trade a 2nd or 3rd to the Pats for Ryan Mallett

The Cleveland FANS will take a Big Leap off a tall building after another slow start. Another questions: Where was all the confidence in McCoy when they tried to move up for RG3?

Browns should grab Weeden. McCoy doesn’t have what it takes. I’ve watched every snap he’s taken since Texas and I am 100% certain he’s a backup at best.

Unlike McCoy, Weeden has an NFL arm, is bigger, smarter, and he doesn’t sound like a hayseed when he talks. He’ll get instant respect because he’ll play well, while McCoy gets praised for being a “winner” and “leader” for being the ball-distributor at Texas.

Weeden can be the real deal; McCoy is a mirage.

Am I the only one who thinks McCoy is a decent QB? I mean, look at the talent around him. The best (using that term loosely) is a punt returner. No running game either this year. No real talent anywhere actually. Almost any QB would struggle there.

The same Colt the Browns tried 3 times to replace this off-season? Well yeah….I’m sure he’ll make a big leap….right into obscurity.

With a full arsenal my QB beat Brady and Brees (and but for Stuckey drop would have beat the red hot NY Yets).

He had #4 and #5 RB on the depth chart for a majority of the year, a converted rookie RB (Little) and a kick returner (Cribbs) as his two WR’s. Oh yeah, the right side of the line looked like most of the abandon buildings across from the Huntington Bldg.

Not saying my guy is the guy….but lets not cut him loose yet.

He will if you idiots get him some playmakers and stop the ridiculous talk of taking another QB to replace him. Another QB will struggle too without some offensive help like Richardson and Blackmon.

Also making a big leap this year…. February 29th.

If you ain’t getting RG3 or Luck, it makes no sense to draft a QB in the first 2 rounds, IMO. Draft skill with the high picks. If it works out with Colt, great, if not you’ll be be deciding between Barkley or the 2 Tyler’s.

Colt is most likely not the guy but Weeden is awful. If they take him its a wasted pick they could of used on an offensive skill position or O lineman.

Who, exactly, is supposed to make McCoy look good? Chris Ogbananna? Ben Watson? Mohammad Mossaquoai? I’m not sure any qb could be successful with the skill position players the Browns have right now.

Russell Wilson in the 5th!!!!

Everything else is just a wasted pick!!!!!!

Rest of NFL teams expect all their players to make same said leap thus neutralizing McCoy’s leap.

The Clowns have not provided any protection or weapons for McCoy at all. How can he be successful with an offense populated by scrubs and losers?

Give the kid a solid O-line, 3-4 good WRs, a TE, and a running game and he will blossom into a solid NFL QB.

Holmgren’s downfall is gonna be that he picked McCoy as his QB.

Translation:

We want you to think we’re happy with our QB situation so the Buccs think we will draft a WR to help Colt out, and won’t be tempted to trade up to #3 to take Trent Richardson.

I still think he’s got the goods to succeed in the league. He’s got a ton of heart and desire, and contrary to popular belief – he CAN throw the deep ball.

Who was he going to throw it deep to last year? We had no receivers that could a) get open, or b) catch.

We add Richardson, Jeffery/Wright, and a starting calibur RT and I think he proves doubters wrong.

If he doesnt – then we got a nice team all warmed up and ready for Barkley.
