Keyword is current. That's my whole point. Rookie QBs on shit teams don't stand a chance. And in Cleveland, it seems to be rinse and repeat with the QB situations.BR1986FB;1013319 wrote:Do you THINK he CAN eventually win a Super Bowl with his current skillset (weak arm, can't see over the line, etc)?
I don't. I wasn't disagreeing with you about your point about needing a good to great QB to win. Just pointing out that Big Ben sucked during that first win.BR1986FB;1013319 wrote:Do you THINK he CAN eventually win a Super Bowl with his current skillset (weak arm, can't see over the line, etc)?
If you'd ask most of this fan base who is defending him because he's a "likeable" guy, his receivers NEVER get open and completely suck. It's never on him.Wooball;1013331 wrote:I don't.

I feel like his vision is a HUGE issue, more so than his arm strength. People are bitching about all these intermediate routes, but it seems there are guys open and he either 1) can't see them or 2) sees them but has to wait for them to enter a throwing lane (or throw through a lane) which either causes him to be late with the throw and the guy isn't open, or makes the throw inaccurate. This is the biggest factor on 3rd and 4 or 5. I wish I could find the stats on this, but it seems like McCoy has taken more sacks in this situation than anyone I have ever seen. In what should be a down and distance that the offense should be able to convert, we are lucky to even get a pass off. It would be nice if Shurmur would design plays/routes that might help McCoy, but you can't be rolling your QB out or going from the gun every 3rd down.
Sure I do. If Trent Dilfer can win one, Colt can. Now, do I think he will win one? No, I do not. But I think with the right pieces and the right coach, Colt is a sufficient enough QB to win one.BR1986FB;1013310 wrote:And here's S&L's daily "dancing around the question making a funny." Answer the question! Do you HONESTLY think McCoy can lead this team to a Super Bowl?
I agree that they have many needs on this team. As long as they move on from McCoy, whether it's this year or next, I'm fine. As long as they move on from him because he's not going to take this team anywhere.SportsAndLady;1013368 wrote:Sure I do. If Trent Dilfer can win one, Colt can. Now, do I think he will win one?

My only point throughout this wholeeeeeeeeeeee thing--there are a lot more dire needs on this team than the QB. Colt is just the fall guy right now--no one wants to mention his awful WRs and terrible OL. Lets just blame the QB, because hey were Cleveland, that's what we do!
Colt McCoy WISHES he could SNIFF Brees' jock.SportsAndLady;1013369 wrote:Also LOL @ "can't see over the line"
Drew Brees laughs at you
And another LOL @ "current skillset" Yeah, cause no one can improve from their 2nd year on.....SMH
Drew Brees is an exception. He along with Mike Vick are the only 2 guys succeeding in the NFL that I can think of right now that are short. Both have very strong arms, and utilize the downfield passing game. Obviously, Vick is also a freak of an athlete and most successful when out of the pocket. I know Colt is young and has time to improve, but I think it can be debated that he will never be able to be successful throwing the ball down the field like those 2 guys do.SportsAndLady;1013369 wrote:Also LOL @ "can't see over the line"

Yeah too bad I wasn't comparing their abilities..rather pointing out that short QBs can succeed.BR1986FB;1013372 wrote:Colt McCoy WISHES he could SNIFF Brees' jock.
Just tossing that out there to the fools who keep saying "we couldn't win even with Aaron Rodgers/Tom Brady/Peyton Manning back there." Your affirmation just proved my point of McCoy's worth.SportsAndLady;1013384 wrote:Oh you mean a 7 year QB is better than our 2nd year QB? Ya don't say!
You can't compare that though, because those QBs didn't get where they are by being thrown into a shitty situation in their 1st or 2nd year.BR1986FB;1013391 wrote:Just tossing that out there to the fools who keep saying "we couldn't win even with Aaron Rodgers/Tom Brady/Peyton Manning back there."

I'd settle for a "better than average QB" in McCoy's case but that doesn't seem to be happening. It would be great if he was this "accurate' QB that was touted coming out of Texas but I question that claim too.SportsAndLady;1013396 wrote: We can do the second one with McCoy we just don't have the pieces yet..stop asking McCoy to be Aaron Rodgers because that's what you want and that's not going to happen

Yeah, because the people who have no emotional ties to McCoy because he's a "likeable gamer" agree with me and most of the national analysts. :rolleyes:SportsAndLady;1013411 wrote:You can go ahead and think whatever you want BR...you're wrong...but go ahead and think whatever

Don't need "links." I think most people can see with their own eyes that if a stud QB is there they will likely take them. You're such a fucking crybaby. People can get you so worked up with minimal effort. LOLSportsAndLady;1013419 wrote:I'm still waiting for links to "the front office separating themselves from McCoy".
I'm not worked up at all actually...I have no ties to McCoy. I think its too early to start ripping his head off. Give the guy a decent team around him before we start calling him shit.BR1986FB;1013422 wrote:Don't need "links."

You are making my point easy. The Browns put rookie QBs in and expect them to be veterans that make their team better. Then they shit on them because they are not that.BR1986FB;1013398 wrote:Then people need to shut their holes with the preposterous "couldn't win with <insert franchise QB>" claims.
It's bullshit. Elite QB's will make the talent around them BETTER. That's firmly why I believe Heckert didn't upgrade this roster. I don't think the front office are fools. I think they wanted to see if McCoy was the type of QB that the talent (lack of, in this case) would rise up to or if he was just a mediocre QB that they had to surround with mega-talent. I think that question has been answered.
Since 99 the Browns have drafted two 1st round QB's, Couch & Quinn. Now Couch might have been something but Quinn was never going to be. It's not like they are drafting a 1st round QB year in and year out.WebFire;1013470 wrote:If you want that, then the Browns need to go get a veteran QB and quit drafting the sexy QB that year.
They don't have to be 1st round picks. I would put McCoy and even Anderson in the group of QB "saviors" who had no chance.BR1986FB;1013487 wrote:Since 99 the Browns have drafted two 1st round QB's, Couch & Quinn.
