Have you ever seen a case where a quarterback like Colt McCoy gets blamed for an entire failed season the way Pat Shurmur, Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert are doing to Colt? Have you seen the Browns this season in the two preseason games? Have you seen how good Colt McCoy looks, the way he handles the pressure and the way he is able to scramble to get the team down field? McCoy still has the longest rush this year in the preseason. Something you’ll never see Brandon Weeden do is scramble out of trouble, with the Browns offensive line Cleveland is going to need a quarterback that can run away from trouble. Yet the Cleveland Browns coaching staff and front office are willing to throw away a perfectly good quarterback like Colt McCoy. Why? Because of the way the Browns were embarrassed during the Colt McCoy concussion.
You can’t ignore the numbers McCoy is putting up this preseason and you can’t ignore how good McCoy looks at moving the Browns down field. Now is where all you Cleveland fans who have drunk the Kool Aid come in and say,”McCoy is Facing 2′s and 3′s” Save it. Brandon Weeden didn’t face all 1′s the other night in G.B. either, don’t let this scripted act to get you to swallow Weeden as the better quarterback blind you from the truth.
McCoy’s family pissed off the Browns front office by going to the media and doing interviews about the way Pat Shurmur put Colt McCoy back into the Pittsburgh game with a concussion and Colts dad was not satisfied with the way Shurmur handled McCoys concussion, when he talked the Browns organization as a whole got a black eye. Lets face it fans, Shurmur couldn’t handle managing the clock last season let alone a guy who had his bell rung. You could tell Pat Shurmur is still thinking about that, look at how he is handling the Mohamed Massaquoi situation. Shurmur gets on the defensive right away when asked about the MoMAss injury.
Because the Browns were put through the wringers last season by the NFL and the entire top brass had to be questioned form top to bottom about the procedures they used when James Harrison hit McCoy and gave him a concussion, they have a very bad taste in their mouth for Colt McCoy. Now the team is trying to say they have a great rookie quarterback, they seem to think the fans don’t know numbers and the team can just rid themselves of McCoy and the fans are too stupid to know any different.
Look at the numbers people, football is a game of stats. The Numbers don’t lie. Colt McCoy is a better quarterback than Brandon Weeden. The Browns coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball stink and because of Shurmur’s embarrassment last season he is throwing the better of the two quarterbacks under the bus. Sure McCoy played against some 2′ and 3′s this season. He also had 2′s and 3′s out on the field with him. Put Colt out there with the first team and he would do well.
The Browns entire offense stunk last season, it wasn’t all Colt McCoy. The Browns had no running game, no receivers that could catch the ball, and no imagination in play calling what so ever. Be honest, you can’t possibly blame all this on Colt McCoy. Be Honest on your assessment about who the better Q.B. is too, the numbers say it is Colt McCoy, because Pat Shurmur took a instant disliking to Colt the moment the NFL Proctologist showed up at Shurmur’s door to examine the way he handled the Concussion McCoy had. Shurmur needs to forget that crap and put the best players on the field to give Cleveland a chance to win games. Now many of you equate my want to win to Weeden hating. Nothing could be further than the truth. I don’t hate anyone, I just see who the better Q.B. is by the numbers and know Shurmur’s dis-like for McCoy is going to cost the Browns wins. Can Weeden play in the NFL? Sure one day maybe, but for now he isn’t ready….Don’t let this strong arm stuff fool ya folks, when was the last time you saw the Browns throw a 70 yard pass down the field? Shurmur call 5 to 10 yard pass plays 99%of the time.
After one quarter of football in Green Bay Weeden was 3 for 8…..After the 2nd the Browns play calling of 2,3 5 yard pass plays helped to pad his numbers. That is what made him look better than week one. After the first quarter against the 1′s Weeden was no better than week one. Check the numbers yourself…..
