Cleveland finally has their Quarterback

[Game book]

[Cleveland PD]

Before the season started, there was a lot of chatter about how Colt McCoy wasn't an NFL caliber player. Those people are awfully quiet right now or feeling awfully foolish.

After watching McCoy today, the Browns without a doubt have got a guy who can play the position in this league and lead the Browns to a lot of very big victories on bright stages. Now, a lot of things happen from this point to determine whether or not it works out long-term here for McCoy like it has other star QB's around the league. You have to have some of the other 53 play pretty well around you. You have to have a system around the guy that can work. And you have to come through and win games like today when the Magic happens.

I like the Jets. I like Mark Sanchez. I've seen a lot of them this year. Sanchez had escapes today and got out of trouble today time and again when he has not all year long. Now I think the difference between a team that is going to the Super Bowl and a team that is just a lot of fun to watch and competes like the Browns is what you saw today.

Browns will name The Colt their starting Quarterback

My source tells me via text that it's "Colt McCoy's job to lose".

Verbatim: I hear its mccoys job to lose now we are going to see if the kid is for real man I hope he is I like his style.

This is incredible news. And I'd expect it to make it's way out in the media slowly. By Tuesday the Plain Dealer or someone from ESPN will be running with it. But you heard it here first. Apparently for weeks on end McCoy has been impressing everyone in the organization in practice even beyond what he did in his first two games.

Beyond that, Carlton Mitchell has been putting in a ton of time working with McCoy I hear and it is expected that this guy develop into a frequent target for the Colt.
