I know Colt isn't lighting up the stats, but he's still not turning it over, playing well. Is there any way the Browns win today with Wallace or Jake back at QB? No way.
Also, the Quinn for Hillis trade continues to get worse for Denver each week.

Wow. Was out of town and traveling all today so I missed this. All I've seen is the score but my initial overreaction is this:
Does this win singlehandedly A) entrench McCoy as the starter indefinitely and B) secure Mangini's presence in Cleveland for next season?

I watched the game today and Colt just doesn't panic. His throws are accurate and he makes good decisions. Some bad plays, of course, but he's a rookie. If he gets benched when one of the other QBs come back, then Mangini is a moron and deserves to be fired.
Rumors were flying this week that Holmgren said he wants to coach again next year. Wonder if he would bump out Eric if he sees something good in Colt.

Are they televising some of the Cleveland games in Austin the way they would show Titans games over Houston games? I imagine not... at least, not yet.
As decent as McCoy's been, the recent 2 game winning streak against NO and NE is more attributable to Mangini and Rob Ryan's game-plans. The New Orleans game especially was a coaching clinic.
The brutal "Welcome to the NFL" stretch for McCoy continues with the Jets next week. Then, what should seem like a game against University of Louisiana-LaFayette, the Jags followed by Carolina.
Of course, the Browns end the regular season at home against the ravens and the Steelers which has the potential of being a bloodbath. Does Colt like cold weather?

No Browns games yet on local TV. Direct TV for the win.
Don't know that Colt's ever thrown in cold weather. I'm sure it was cold in Colorado or Kansas, but not like he'll face in Dec/Jan.

I think it's important that Eric Mangini do what shaggybevo.com message boards thinks he should do.
Seriously though, I'm sort of ok with playing Wallace with similar reasoning in the WFNY post. It wouldn't be my choice, but it's not totally cray-zee.
That said, if Wallace is anything less than 100% it ought to be Colt.

Some Colt quotes
"Quote me on this: 'They have a quarterback now'. I'm glad I'm not in the AFC North anymore so I don't have to see him get better. They've had quarterback problems for a long time. They now have a legit quarterback. He plays with a lot of confidence and he plays with a lot of poise." - Trevor Pryce (Jets LB)
""He was the winningest quarterback in college, so for him to come in put together a drive to win is just him playing football. That's what he does. I'm not surprised." - Evan Moore (Browns WR)
""After four games, I can say I like a ton of the stuff about him, but I don't want to put that pressure on him, either. We've got to let him continue to grow and develop. Not that he hasn't been under a lot of pressure, but I'm not going to add to it." - Eric Mangini
""I think every week he goes out there, personally he impresses me more and more. He's just got it. It's one of those things where he's not tall, he can't throw real hard, he can't do this, but he's a winner. You want guys like that. He's a natural leader and it's infectious. I just love watching him, I love being around him, I think he's a great quarterback." - Eric Barton (Browns LB)
""No. 12 is a special player. The poise is unreal for a rookie, to be able to do that. I've never seen anything like it for a rookie to come in and play the way he plays. The way the offense is playing hard for him, watching him. Watching him every day in practice, he's just continuing to get better. It's amazing to watch." - Sheldon Brown (Browns CB)

Man do they need a WR bad.
I think Braylon Edwards is a free agent at the end of the year.
