ARLINGTON, Texas — 'The Browns players file into the locker room, heading down in defeat after a crushing overtime loss to the Cowboys on Nov. 18.
The majority of the team heads directly to the showers to wash away the stains of yet another close defeat, but backup quarterback and legendary former Longhorn Colt McCoy is one of the exceptions.'

Poor guy got a raw deal from the Browns. I hope he is eventually traded to another team where he can at least get a legitimate chance to compete for a starting job. Heck, somewhere like Arizona might do well to bring him in and see how he does in their system.

Wouldn't it be great if the Cowboys traded for him. I know it's not gonna happen with razorback Jerry in charge, but it would be a dream PR move. He could back up Romo until Romo decides he would be a better pro golfer. Then, who knows? Colt would be an asset to any team.

Going back home to play for someone in Texas would be great...

If I were a Browns fan, I'd be disturbed about his teammates joking around after having a tough loss. Losing teams have players who are just there to collect their paychecks and go home.

Colt would just get beat up behind that Crappy Dallas OLine. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

He needs to be on a good team. Otherwise, if he was traded to another bad team, he will be regulated to being a back-up still. Or if a starter, beaten up.

You mean that you hope he's traded from one bad franchise to another bad franchise? I hope if Colt is a back up he gets to play for a class franchise like NE,Pittsburg or NYG. After watching some of the Jets and Cardinals game last week it is hard for me to believe Colt isn't better than any QB on those 2 rosters.
