Damn that sucks. I guess we will find out about Kolb in a hour. Doubt they let him go now.

lol nice fail. Also still waiting for proof that I said Tebow's drive didn't matter. Also still waiting for an answer about how Tebow being the Browns best QB on roster is sad.

Thanks. Keep on failing.

says the guy who said using Clausen (in a Browns thread) was a solid comparison which was how I was using Tebow against the Dolphins. Nice fail attempt

If you take Tebow's rushing threat out of the equation, McCoy is a better QUARTERBACK than Tebow. You are completely ignorant if you argue that Tebow is a better passer, especially considering that his completion percentage was 10% worse than McCoy's. Did they win games? Absolutely, but it certainly wasn't because Tebow was a superior passing quarterback. The more you argue that point, the more ridiculous and unintelligent you look.
It's not hard to complete 1 yd passes to boost your % and why McCoy has a terrible record as a QB.

You said you don't bring up Tebow. You did there. Nice try spinning that, but you fail once again. Still waiting on those answers, thanks.

Funny, 75% of Tebow's throws are this and he still can't complete more than 45% of his throws, yet you defend him.

Yes, "sheep to the flock." I'm not a McCoy "nuthugger" so I'm a "hater."

Don't know WTF you're talking about with the 'cocksucker" comment because I've had my run in's with Skyhook myself.

As far as the "bedtime" thing...when you make the money that I do (can buy YOU, sell YOU and store you in my basement as LABOR) Lollipop Kid, sleep/money takes priority over bickering on a message board all hours of the night.

From what I can see, Skyhook didn't enter this thread until someone called him out with the Tebow comment ealier this afternoon. That's not to say he hasn't trolled in the past but someone called him onto this thread earlier.

No...you're not but it seems like if you're not sympathetic to McCoy that you're (meaning me) the outcast.

He would have slide his way into this thread regardless of what anyone said. He comments in here daily, if you haven't noticed his cleveland trolling ways than I'd think you probably just weren't reading his posts (don't blame you). He's a pos.

Funny Tebow averages 13.7 yds per completion and McCoy averages 10.3 yds per completion.

Check out the yards per attempt between McCoy and Tebow through the links below. Not much of a difference, but nice try at defending your boy.

Yards per completion doesn't mean a whole lot. Yards per attempt is what you are referring to, and Tebow's YPA was a microscopic 0.5 yards more per attempt than McCoy's.

Yards per completion has a lot more to do with a wide receivers ability to gain yards after the catch, so the difference in that numbers speaks volumes about the significant difference in ability Tebow's WR's had as opposed to McCoy's.

It does when you are trying argue pass % and throwing 1 yd passes to get a higher %.:rolleyes:

That's why I posted the yards per attempt... Tebow averaged 6.4 yards every pass he attempted. McCoy averaged 5.9 yards per attempt.

Thus, if Tebow completed 9 out of 20 passing attempts (45%), he would gain 128 yards. McCoy would complete 11 out of 20 attempts (55%), he would gain 118 yards.

Obviously, you can see that Tebow isn't exactly BOMBING it downfield all the time. He checks down a lot too, his numbers are just inflated because he even has trouble accurately throwing to check downs.

browns fans truly are the worst.
The 2nd-4th rounds are not later round picks. If you think Hardesty, McCoy, or Lauvao look like good 2nd and 3rd round values at this point you're insane.

It's fine to miss on some guys. But you can't miss on 9/10 guys you take after the 2nd round if you're determined to build entirely through the draft. It's pretty simple. That's why this draft is make or break.

A year from now if the team went 5-11 again, there are still 8 holes to fill, and only 2 rookies look like legitimate NFL pieces, heads are probably going to roll. And they should.

Agree. You can't find yourself sitting on your hands in free agency (again) with money to spend claiming to build through the draft and still be sucking ass lol.

That is because they CAUGHT many more passes because McCoy COMPLETED 10% more of his throws than Tebow. That alongside the fact that the Browns attempted 140 more passes (570-429) than Denver significantly inflates the YAC numbers that you are comparing. Your comparing apples to oranges. Nice fail, though, Failhook.

Ok, we had $20M to spend... who did you want with that $20M? Now after you decide who you want, what are the chances that those players even WANT to come to the Browns? Just sayin...
