There was no offseason last year. Add that to a new offense, new coaching staff, new playbook, etc., McCoy will have the chance this year to learn the WCO and prove his value or not. I’m suprised they did as well as they did going from Mangini’s ‘this offense isn’t good enough to name’ scheme to a WCO without coaching. I just hope he didn’t develop permanent ‘happy feet’ with the lack of OL, running game, or passing game last season.

The police and firemen laid off by budget cuts demand an explanation.

Soldiers returning from active duty to poor financial situations demand an explanation.

Construction workers injured on the job demand an explanation.

Would you like me to go on?

For all those who feel Colt deserves another chance at starting in Cleveland, please tell me what other team in the league he could start for. If he would be a backup for 31 other teams, he should be a backup for the Browns.

Having said that there is no way to get around the fact that the Browns are jerking him around. They tell him (a story McCoy refuses to deny) they are not taking a QB in the first round and go home and recuperate from cheap shot artist Harrison’s hit.

The next thing he hears is the Walrus whining about how St Louis wouldn’t give him a fair shot at trading for RGIII. THEN they draft Chris Wenke (I mean Weeden) in the first round. Anyone with an IQ over 55 knows this means McCoy is done in Cleveland. Yet they insist on putting on this BS nonsense about an “open competition”.

If I was a Browns fan (thank goodness I am not) I would be less than thrilled about an organization that so blatantly lies to the players AND the press AND the fans.

Do the right thing Cleveland. Trade McCoy to the Packers (he deserves a first class team after dealing with the clowns on Lake Erie) and stop jerking everyone around.

Now you’re bringing in another ‘rookie’ no matter what his age? Against the two toughest defenses in the league in Ravens and Steelers?

I’m not convinced Holmgren and his choice of coach is anything great. Why do fans forget he jumped at Jake Delhomme with millions of dollars a month before he even drafted (Colt). Having one SuperBowl win with Favre and only one appearance with Seattle in 20 years in the league, doesn’t impress me much.

We’re now at starting the 17th QB since the franchise returned in 1999.

Where did that Factory of Sadness come from any way?

——————————————–
I hope to see a lot of him again as well, just sitting on the bench as a backup…hopefully watching Weeden sling out deep play action passes for teams loading up the box for Richardson.

Seneca Wallace should get cut if anyone. He never tried to help mentor Colt, I don’t expect him to do much for Weeden either. Colt on the other hand is smart and seems like a good person. Colt just didn’t make anyone around him better and an upgrade was needed.

We agree on one thing: Hiring Shurmur was the biggest mistake of the Holmgren era. Here’s to hoping that Childress can help mask Shurmur’s horrible 4th quarter decisions.

This year will be the same. Colt needs to blow the coaches out of the water in order to be the starting QB. If Weeden is close to as good as Colt in camp, Weeden will be given the reins. That is just as fair as it was to Seneca Wallace last year.

Colt will be lucky to be the back up next year and his only saving grace is that he is a cheaper version of Seneca Wallace. Honestly, it was a very big mistake to hire Pat Shurmur and it will be compounded by gambling on Weeden in the 1st round. H&H should have filled another need position like LB or WR there.

Just Sayin’…Go Brownies!!

and im not a colt mcoy fan or hater but, why is it his fault that his HC sucks, his running game sucks, and his best option was a KR/ PR, & that his division is brutal, give him some time & playmakers!! sounds like holmgren is looking for a scapegoat, when in fact he drafted mcoy & hired shurmur, i truly feel bad for browns fans they got a loyal, solid fanbase & a very underated defense!!

That’s like buying a Taurus to replace a K-Car.
