Need more out of him than just two games to be able to answer this question.

Not a Browns fan at all but I will say yes. The guy is a winner, always has been. When's the last time Cleveland had a winner at QB.

Time will tell. He's managing games quite well right now but we need to see a lot more than 2 games to find your answer.

Can't answer the question yet...but he's looked pretty impressive so far. Hopefully they stay with him the rest of the season. We would know then.

I think so, yes. I always liked him in college and thought he would turn out to be a good pro.

Right now I would put him on par with Dan Marino, but I think he could be as good as the best ever(Matt Hasselbeck) some day.

I saw him a lot in college...he's a winner. He can scramble to escape pressure, he's a smart kid, a great game manager, will complete anything within 20 yards. The problem is that he cannot stretch the field. At TX he rarely, if ever, threw the ball more than 20 yards down the field. That's fine, Chad Pennington did well for a few years playing that style of football...if the Browns can maintain a run-first mentality, and play great defense, then Colt is your guy.

They need to take the seat belt off of him. I do know that he's 10X smarter than Derek the pig Anderson.

Since there is no option to hedge...after two starts...I have to say I like the kid and what I've seen so far.
