Colt McCoy reminds me of Tom Brady too

This morning while I was shaking off the effects of my first migraine headache, I read an article over on Waiting for Next Year talking about Colt McCoy and his similarities to Tom Brady.

I have to say, I've heard him compared to Drew Brees (a lot). I've heard Colt compared to Peyton Manning in the ball that he throws, as well as Troy Aikman. But to me, I've been most reminded of Tom Brady. A guy who didn't have all the measurables in the draft; but is making an impact as a rookie. A guy who is just a football player and a guy who is smart and showing that intangibles at the position are very hard for scouts to see at a combine; and are very easy for many GM's and executives to miss on.

Something very special is going on in Cleveland right now. The Browns have a real shot to be the story of the entire league right now. This is a special time of year to follow the Browns and when they can play good football and give the fans a reason to get behind the team there's not a better time of year in any sport than November-December in Cleveland. With McCoy getting his 4th straight start this Sunday, the Browns look to knock off yet another Super Bowl contender.

If they can do that, no matter what happens from that point forward; this stretch will be talked about for years and remembered forever.
