McCoy's shortcomings exposed in Cleveland
Part of the appeal of Colt McCoy is the name. Which, a Texan knows, is not reason for PETA to get upset, but is merely a reference to motherless calves. McCoy is from Tuscola (population not a whole lot more than 700). He played with enough distinction to have his number retired at the University of Texas....

During the draft, there are always lots of comments about the importance of players going to the right team and winding up in the right situation. In Colt's case, he didn't come close on either count. A draft choice forced by the GM on a coach that didn't want him. That same coach never intended to play him, but had to due to injuries and ineptness of his other QBs. Then, a new coaching staff (with a first time HC) that took over during a lockout, preventing a smooth transition. A complete lack of any kind of decent supporting cast. Finally, an organization in which both the GM and coach see an opportunity to let Colt take the fall for their own shortcomings, thus buying them some additional time in their own jobs.
I admire any player that goes on to try professional football, but I don't change my opinion of their college accomplishments because of success or failure in the NFL. As a Longhorn, Colt will always be special.

Coach for me its not a fair take because Colt never had talent around him. Put him on the 49ers or Lions and see how he plays.
I am always reminded of a statement by Tom Landry............he said it took 5 years for a QB to be ready to play in the NFL. There are not many Tom Brady's or Payton Mannings who can play well in 1or 2 years. In fact check out Manning (both Manning's) first years as a QB.
Because of injuries Colt was forced into starting when he was not ready. With almost zero talent around him that became a problem. In addition keep in mind because of the lock out there was little or no off-season.
