Colt McCoy acquired

[Badger8843]

I saw this on Yahoo Monday and thought it was an April Fools joke. I saw it again Tuesday and it had me wondering. I still don't get it .. we could have got him really cheap without wasting any draft picks. I have more faith in Tolzien.

Reason being McCoy is very comfortable with the spread and can run the read option, Scotty as I know more then any one else on this board he is not that type of guy. More of a 2-3 step and get rid of it. He is a very good decesion maker but McCoy athletic ability is what you want out of your backup, not to mention he has started 20+ games and he is only 26

I'm on the fence on this, but at least he's got game experience (21 starts). Tolzien's got none and anyone we might draft would have none.

solid move and didn't cost much.

I think people are more disappointed that he's taking a roster spot and a lot of us have our own sleeper QBs we would have rather seen selected.

McCoy is not guaranteed a roster spot by any means. Like the coaches and FO keep saying, every spot is a competition and I fully expect us to bring in a rookie QB to compete with McCoy and Tolzien. It cost us essentially a 7th round pick, which we have a ton of...if there are a couple guys we absolutely have to get and can't risk missing out on them as undrafted FA, then we will use one of our other 7th rounders. That being said, I'm not exactly fond of McCoy (he throws off his back foot far too often and isn't that accurate) but the move is a no-brainer in terms of what we gave up.

Glad that we have the best starting QB and backup QB in the division.

agree, no guarantees for McCoy. similar for Asomugha and others.

I "know" Williamson knows a lot more than I do about football, but I don't take anything he says to heart. I disagree with him and have on a lot of things over the years, and no, not all about the QB we used to have. I posted this in the NFC West, but this was probably the better place to put it if I wasn't starting a new thread about it. Thanks!

LeSean McCoy, that is.

I would have left it but I didn't want to leave a bad impression of Colt on anyone who didn't bother to click the link.

So I spoiled the joke here, but hopefully saved someone from thinking that Colt became a bad apple for some reason.

First he lost to Michael Vick in a foot race, and now this. Rough offseason for LeSean...

It's solely to hang out around Santa Clara and periodically kick Colt McCoy in the balls.
