clearly, Colt and Brad need to come to grips that, at this moment in time, the League sees him as a back-up. And, it seems, most teams don't see him as a clear number 2...he is going to have to come in and beat out other back-ups for the number 2 spot, regardless of where he ends up. I don't see that he is a clear winner if he competes with T.J. Yates in Houston...Yates looked decent as a rookie and won a playoff game...regardless, perhaps in 2-3 years, he'll develop and be able to compete to be the guy for a franchise.

Thought the same thing but I really believe the Browns are tired of Brad McCoy ......plus they (Browns) are not very smart

The problem Colt has is his history of concussions...in Dec last year, Peter King was on NBC Sports Talk discussing the "Colt McCoy Rule", about diagnosing concussions & having Dr's on the sidelines after Colt's hit from James Harrison

King stated the Browns believe that was Colt's 6th concussion going back to his Sr year in HS...King stated that inside the Browns org, including Holmgren, their mgmt was concerned about the long-term problems these concussions are gonna have on Colt

That's what I like - all facts and no rumor mongering...

Wow never knew Brad McCoy had so much power now at the pro level also.....trust me this is not an issue.

Didn't make anything up at all. You seem to live in LALAland if you haven't seen references to Brad McCoy not only by me be others. I will also say again one of the reasons David Carr left Houston was a bad OL,immaturity and his Dad. So it does happen........

ESPN reported all day Friday (in fact it was the major story of the draft) that Colt McCoy was told Thursday that the Browns would not take a QB in the first round. Don't know if you listen to Mike and Mike on ESPN in the mornings but Mike Greenberg for 3 hours said it looked like the Browns changed their entire direction of the organization in about 10 mins when they took another QB.

If you are implying that Brad McCoy couldn't have called some ESPN people and told them about the Browns conversation with Colt then you are naive. I don't know if that happened but simply asked the question. I hope I didn't harm that fantasy world you seem to live in..........

52...........again read my posts (and other posters again) They are not "idle gossip".

Here is a nugget (chew on this between rides) Every time we saw Colt play there was a shot of Dad in the stands with most of those games on Saturday. Anybody who has played or coached HS football knows after the game on Friday the film is graded and then Saturday morning until about noon coaches meet with their players and watch the film. It would be physically impossible for Brad and his family to get to most places in time for an afternoon game. Some games on Saturday night maybe. In other words he didn't do his job for most of Colts 4 years at Texas.

Multiple reports say that both places he coached (while Colt was in college) were about to run him off. I do some business in the Abilene area and people 4-5 years ago said things about Brad McCoy............my first thoughts were it was sour grapes. There is simply too much smoke here not to be some fire. I would add as a lost thought that Connor Wood transfer had something to do with Brad McCoy's being at Texas practices.

Nobody is a bigger fan of Colt McCoy than I am.............I hope he has a great NFL career and given a chance in the right system he can and will. Its just time for Dad to get off the stage.

If Colt stays on the Browns, then I'm not writing him off as the starter.

The Browns may plan on starting Weeden right away, but I gotta like Colt taking/earning the job before the season starts or at some point during the season.

Just my opinion...

If he's really had six concussions, playing backup may be whats best for him. His quality of life post-football needs to be a concern.
