Colt McCoy Rumors & News

Throughout the draft, there was a good deal of discussion about the San Francisco 49ers need for another quarterback. We all know Colin Kaepernick is the guy for the foreseeable future, but with Colt McCoy and Scott Tolzien behind him, there was always room for another young QB to bring some competition to the field. The 49ers ended up addressing that need, although the decision caught many by surprise. The 49ers used a seventh round pick to select University of South Florida quarterback B.J. Daniels. Although Daniels played quarterback at USF, he was also asked to do back-pedal and re...

McCoy was 6-15 as a Browns starter and the team never won more than six games in his three seasons here

Is there anyone else here who assumed the 49ers would be quiet up until the draft? I understand human nature, so many of you are going to say that you knew something was coming. Well, I for one, was shocked. We made not one, but two moves that will shape the roster. First, we traded for Colt McCoy, former Browns quarterback with a season and a half of starting experience. The price was cheap. We gave up a seventh rounder, moved back a few slots from the end of the fifth to the start of the sixth round, and have to pay Mr. McCoy his peanuts. Not bad. The next day, the big news hit that ...

Once the 49ers made their move to acquire Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy, I got in touch with Chris Pokorny from Dawgs by Nature, SB Nation's Browns blog. Chris was kind enough to give me a few thoughts on the brief Colt McCoy era in Cleveland. Colt McCoy's biggest asset is his mobility. He doesn't necessarily throw great on the run, but he can evade the rush and moves the chains at key points. The issue during his time in Cleveland is that he constantly checked down instead of throwing the ball down the field. There were debates as to whether that was coaching/scheme-related...

Earlier this week, recently acquired 49ers quarterback Colt McCoy made the rounds of Bay Area radio. He made a stop at KNBR and talked football with Eric Byrnes and Ray Ratto, which seems like a bit of an odd couple pairing. I don't listen to a ton of radio so I don't know much about their chemistry, but on paper it's definitely random. Naturally, McCoy was asked about the pistol and the read option.
