With naivete like that, I hope you do get him.

He has absolutely NO potential as an NFL starter. Doesn’t have the arm for it. Nor the accuracy. Nor the pocket presence.

If the Browns can get anything for a lifetime backup prospect, then good for them. I don’t see why Philly would want him, Kafka is a better prospect, but another man’s trash…

Really, the debate is useless. Let’s wait until someone more credible than Tony Grossi comes out with this story.

He wants to be a starter, and thinks he shouldnt be a backup. I dont know of any teams that will have McCoy start this year. If that is what it will take to move him, he will be waiting a while for a trade.

If he is willing to backup for a season, the Eagles should pounce on him. Vick can be done in Philly as early as 2013 based on his contract. McCoy isnt that bad. He just played for Cleveland.

And for hdbbrowns33, Jason Peters is the best tackle in football. Thomas and Long can duke it out for second.

Sorry to burst your bubbles.

He should hope he goes to GB. If I were a QB, McCarthy is one of a very few I’d want to help me develop.

Now the Texans have 4 QB’s in camp.

I agree with those that said that Colt McCoy had little (if anything) to work with on offense. They had Joe Thomas and Alex Mack on the O-Line (and fill-ins), they had to use their 4th option at RB (Hillis, Jackson, Hardesty were all out…bringing in Ogbannaya to START mere days after being brought in off the scrap heap), their WRs were the worst in football (regardless of what Mike Holmgren says with the “maybe they were open and weren’t seen or thrown to on time” nonsense…he knows that he is going to dump the QB and keep the WRs, has to build them up!), and his play caller was an absolute joke (how did H&H allow a rookie head coach to have play calling duties in his first year???).

McCoy got a raw deal. What they should have done was surround him with offensive talent via the draft and/or free agency and went all in this year with him from day one. This would have been a win/win situation. If he was successful, you looked like geniuses. If he sucked, you could have said that you were giving him a fair shot with some weapons and protection upgrades…now, whomever you decide to bring in for 2013 has an established offense to take onto the field with them to start fresh.

In my opinion…H&H blew this situation. Now they have to hope that Weeden IS the answer and that Colt McCoy DOESN’T go somewhere else and come back to haunt them. They have done little to make me, as a Browns fan, feel any better about the situation of the team than I did in 1999.

The lousy team around McCoy and McCoy’s inability to read and react as quickly as he needs to contributed to his failure. He needs to go somewhere where he can stand in the backfield with 4-5 seconds to think things through before he has to leave the pocket.

They know he’s going to be cut soon and they’ll get him on what is called “free” soon.

McCoy is nothing more than a backup.

Maybe the other three teams, but not Buffalo. The team is fully behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Bills also have Vince Young, who if does well could be resigned. Not to mention that the 2013 Draft class is deep at the QB position, with plenty of talent. Colt McCoy may be a semi-viable, younger QB, but hasn’t shown much since popping into the league. I don’t think many teams are wowed by his past performances.

Now for the bad. He doesn’t read NFL defenses quickly. This leads to rushed passes, forced passes, inaccurate passes, excessive dump-offs to the RBs & TEs, sacks, etc. He has a sub-par arm for an NFL starter. This means that to throw a pass more than 15-20 yards, he has to put a higher arc on it than stronger-armed peers, which gives the D more time to react to the pass. Eventually, this leads to defenses pretty much ignoring the possibility of a deep pass & dedicating more defenders to stop the run, rush the passer, & clog the short-to-intermediate passing lanes.

Colt has gotten a raw deal. He hasn’t had a single real NFL offseason to learn the playbook properly. He hasn’t been given dynamic weapons. He hasn’t been protected. I think the Browns would be better off keeping him & dumping Wallace, personally. After watching him & doing some research on how arm strength affects the passing game, though, I’ve given up any belief that his upside is any higher than a Chad Pennington-like career. If Weeden is even close to McCoy in toughness & mental acuity, his ceiling is WAY higher than Colt’s, even if his shelf life is shorter.

Gabbert throws with his eyes closed…. your argument is invalid.
