Seriously, name me one time anyone on here has said "i'm not going to watch any games if they get rid of McCoy. He's going to be really good!" Yeah, you won't find that.

The only point we are making is that maybe we should give him some weapons and a second year (because you know, he's only played ONE full season), and see how he does. Sorry that you can't live w/ that.

Oh and I'm glad you weren't GM of Indy's first year w/ Peyton starting. Man, he had his chance and he was bad...he didn't deserve that second year, right?

Oh and I love how you pick and choose things to respond to in posts. You going to acknowledge the fact that you never say this much about the LB position sucking or the WR position sucking or the coaches we've had sucking, you just gonna completely ignore that?

BR1986FB;1071197 wrote:McCoy's not going to get that 3rd year because he's a THIRD ROUNDER. If he was the #1 overall pick in the draft I'd AGREE with you but he's NOT. He's a DISPOSABLE QB. He's shit that you throw against the wall and hope it sticks. It hasn't stuck. You're in a position to get a franchise QB THIS year. You DO it.

I think Dalton is on the downward slope, he was pretty terrible his last 6 games or so, DA syndrome. I don't expect him to continue and be the signal called in Cincy 3 yrs from now.

HE banged your GIRLFRIEND or something BECAUSE you HATE the guy and now want to START the whole QB thing OVER like we do EVERY year. When INSTEAD we can just give HIM one MORE year and THEN EVALUATE HIM.

Also mentioned Wright from Baylor as a target and SEVERAL free agent WR's I'd like targeted. Bottom line...gotta have SOMEONE to throw it to them. I've also said that Fujita is old and slow/needs replaced...but, of course, you "selectively" read what you want. See...two can play that game. :rolleyes:

SportsAndLady;1071221 wrote:Right but you don't bash the current players on the roster until their heads are caved in on every post. Yeah, no shit Fujita needs to be replaced, he's old as fuck and sucks; McCoy is young and has shown SOME sort of promise. If you really can't see that, I don't know what to tell you

Commander of Awesome;1071222 wrote:Point of the article is that most 2nd and 3rd round QBs don't last or progress into good starters in the NFL.

BR1986FB;1071217 wrote:And my point is (and I think it will also be the point of the front office) that you don't have TIME to gamble and "hope" that McCoy turns into something. When I say "time", it's not me being impatient, it's looking through what I think the front office thinks. Holmgren is on the clock. He's out of here in 3 years or less. He has an image to uphold and a legacy he doesn't want tarnished. I'm sure he doesn't want to be known as "the guy who went to Cleveland to collect a paycheck." He wants to WIN and he's going to expedite the process at the opportune time...which is NOW.

SportsAndLady;1071226 wrote:Yes, I understnad that and your article/point is duly noted.

Most 6th rounders don't pan out either, but then you have Tom Brady

Commander of Awesome;1071224 wrote:I think Colt McCoy in the WCO offensive (which was supposed to be his strength/style suited to his ability) and really showed no promise. I think if anything he took a step backwards this season. Lot of drops on offense, terrible rbs, inconsistent Oline all played a part. Bottom line he has to improve regardless for this team to get wins.

I know the 2 brothers on here are McCoy believers/want to see him with talent. However I just see that as delaying the inevitable. He comes in next wr with new weapons and sucks the excuse will be new WRs in a new system, rookie WRs takes them 3 years, etc..... The excuses will just never end.
