Browns Leaning Towards Starting QB Colt McCoy Vs. Steelers

Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini said he is "leaning" toward starting rookie quarterback Colt McCoy on Sunday in Pittsburgh. McCoy would be making his NFL regular-season debut against the Steelers. Mangini said the possibility of McCoy playing will depend on the status of quarterbacks Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace, who are both battling ankle injuries. Neither will practice on Wednesday. Mangini said he has confidence in McCoy, a third-round pick who struggled throughout much of the exhibition season.

mccoy must have pissed someone off in cleveland

 

They honestly don't have much of a choice, your best QB had a high-ankle sprain, putting him out there would be suicide. Delhomme will surely turn the ball over 10 times. Sign a QB for reserves, and throw the kid into the fire.

 

Something tells me McCoy is starting from here on out

 

mccoy is going to have to play pretty damn well because wallace hasn't been bad at all. if all 3 qb's were healthy, wallace would still be in there.

 

63/100 693 yards, 4 TD, 2 INT

 

did anyone else see him sportin the UT hat on sportscenter?

 

McCoy will get the start but the Browns will probably be running a lot of Josh Cribbs out there...
