Cleveland Browns trying to trade Colt McCoy this afternoon.

Posted by David (aka David) Apr 27 '12, 10:25

Brandon Weeden has been told he is the starter.

I really don't get the idea of ceding QB1 to a player who has never taken a snap in the NFL.

Responses:

If you draft him the first round though, it's expected that he will be the starter. At 28, how long can you wait/groom him? -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:28 5
- Even at his age, rookie QBs need to earn gigs in order to garner the faith of the locker room. - David Apr 27, 10:30 2
  - True. But with Richardson, they can do a whole, "Batman & Robin" type of marketing. Even with McCoy, that team isn't winning more than 4-5 games -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:34 1
    - Or "Batman and Alfred". -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 10:37
- Sure, he's gotta be fast-tracked, but he's being announced as the starter already. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:29 1
  - Even the Redskins will at least pretend that RG3 has to earn the job from Grossman -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:30
It's the Browns.....it doesn't have to make sense. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:26 1
- Cincy has developed a novel team building strategy. They keep picking up former first round picks, figuring that at least on some level they can play. -- nm - David Apr 27, 10:28
