Wait a second. Colt might not be going anywhere.

I dont think anyone believe Colts going anywhere… but then again Ive been out of the loop for a while so IDK.

I think what you saw was someone questioning whether Holmgren will be targetting another QB in this draft as a priority.

Then, we have no OC yet. I think Holmgren is looking for someone specifically for Colt. That last one is why I think Holmgren is trying to build the Offense around Colt. Thoughts?

I posted elsewhere, but I think Holmgren might be targeting Tom Clements, QB coach out of Green Bay.

I don’t think we’d give up on Colt yet. Especially with no Andrew Luck in this draft. Maybe if we didn’t fully believe in Colt we’d try to trade up to get someone like that, but I don’t think we’d pick anyone in this draft in the first.

Picking someone in the first round is the only way I think we could clearly state as a franchise that someone else is going to get a shot at QB and that Colt will be gone at some point.

I don’t really get your point about McNabb/Vick. Vick will still run when it’s advantageous, and he will still make people look silly when he does. McNabb isn’t close to that kind of athlete. Neither is Colt.

I think/hope our staff wants to hire someone from Green Bay as OC and we are waiting to talk to them at an appropriate time in the playoffs. I think so far that not having control of the playcalling is hurting the appeal of the job.

There is no "off topic" if you’re talking Browns.

I wouldn’t look too deep in to the OC thing right now. Shurmur already said he was going to call the plays. So if we do hire someone he’ll most likely be an "assistant" If anything they’ll get a guy that Shurmur can be friends with..

Then, we have no OC yet. I think Holmgren is looking for someone specifically for Colt.

I doubt Holmgren is looking for an OC to fit Colt McCoy. He’s looking for an OC that embraces his philosophies and seems like he can be a solid coach. Tailoring an OC to a 2nd yr QB who we’re still not positive will be our QBOTF is very risky; in fact, I’d slide into Golan’s corner on “Holmgren hate” if he did this.

Also, I think Colt will be named the starter for this season and we’ll go from there. If he doesn’t perform well, then we’ll definitely be targeting Luck or someone else next year.

I saw on here before that some people, I don’t know who, believe Colt is gone and we will find a different QB elsewhere.

??

Do I recall correctly that McNabb was mostly an option QB at Syracuse.

You recall incorrectly.

I might be wrong

You are wrong.

but thats what I thought I read somewhere

I read somewhere that Bill & Hillary Clinton ran a Coke ring in Arkansas when Bill was governor. I’ve also read that George W. Bush helped plan 9/11. I don’t believe these things though just because I read it.

Look at Bradford. I thought Bradford was going to blow chunks. Guess not.

Well, if Shurmur was able to turn Bradford into a good QB despite the fact that YOU thought he was going to “blow chunks” then I guess Shurmur must be awesome — we all know that your opinion on Bradford was more important than just about everyone else who thought Bradford was a pretty damn good prospect, who apparently had the best pro-day since Troy Aikman and who Mike H. was willing to trade away most of our draft for.

Well, I looked up Shurmur only to discover two things.

You discovered that he was the OC for the Rams and the QB Coach for the Eagles - Wow, I had not read either of those things before.

I believe we absolutely are building around Colt – Shurmer and the OC. Would love to get Clements from GB – QB coach – theres a pretty good QB in GB that has gotten even better. Lets do it Holmes!!
