Cards sign QB Colt McCoy

[DVontel]

Dang marriota or rg would have been cool for airvraid in case of injury oh well...

RG3 honestly might be the worst one on there.

Can't he still scramble a bit though I know he isn't good anymore

 

[Proximo]

Backup QBs better/more desirable than 34 year old McCoy:
Fitzpatrick
Whomever loses saints QB battle
Trubisky
Dalton/foles
Stidham
Flacco
Mariotta
RGIII
Keenum
Tyrod Taylor
Minshew
Brissett
Jordan love
Gabbert

and I’m not listing the ones which I’d prefer but may be identified as toss-ups. McCoy likely ends up in bottom third of backup QBs.

I will give you
Trubisky,
Taylor,
Minshew,
Mariotta,
Foles,
Brissett,
and Taysom Hill

So that is 7, Nobody else you listed is anyone any team would consider being a starter. Fitzpatrick is currently signed as Washington's starter, and got pretty big money.

It's ridiculous you put RGIII, Stidham or Gabbert on your list. Stidham was so crappy Cam Newton never even had to compete with him - and Cam Newton is old and sucks, while Stidham is young.

So now tell me who is currently a free agent that is better than McCoy?

Yes, I would agree we should have signed Trubisky or Minshew if that was possible - but that is the only 2 backup QB's that were better that was available.

Barely & can’t even throw worth a lick anymore.

Watching RG3 the one game he started last season honestly I thought he looked okay. He even had a big scramble. The problem was he got hurt after less than half a game. It was a non contact injury too.

Compared to colt mccoy in our offense?

 

[juza76]

I hope the kid fro Hawaii flashes in the preseason and mcoy won't make the 53

A) we are talking about backups. No one said anything about who would we want as starters. That’s not our conversation unless you’re moving the uprights.

B) you indicated there were only 5 or 6 better backups. You never limited it to availability. Again, unless you are moving the uprights now.

C) Fitzpatrick is a placeholder which is essentially a glorified backup. He’s an expensive hybrid at best, if you will.

D) stidham’s youth is what makes him more attractive potentially than McCoy who is at the end of his rope as an also ran/never was. It’s also what makes love more desirable.

E) I don’t know how you can place McCoy over flacco with a straight face.

All Pro name. Hope his skill set lives up to it.

Which skillset?

Which skillset?

Ropin’, ridin’, and shootin’.

Man I truly don’t believe you watched RG3 last season. He was tailor made for Baltimore’s offense & still looked atrocious.

U didnt answer

 

[DVontel]

U didnt answer

The answer is clearly yes.

 

[juza76]

The answer is clearly yes.

I prefer to draft someone later, if he shows some promises u have a good back up and some chance to get something in return by trading him
If Murray is out we won't win a game with Mccoy I think, so doesn't bring anything short medium and long term

 

[cardpa]

My question is does McCoy fit the offensive scheme? At 34 years old, I don't see him as much of a scrambler or even a runner on options. Murray has made plays with his legs to keep drives alive that I don't see McCoy ever making.

Agility behind the task is the last of fis problems

seems like all the dough we gave Bradford - he could do it pro bono

Another reason I don’t like this move:

this guy sucks as a backup QB on the field and as a person off it.

so do you think MCCoy is a racist or an alum just trying to uphold a longstanding school tradition? Or both?

I won’t speak for my brother, but I see it is as an alum just trying to uphold a long-standing school tradition that has racist associations with it. So, maybe not being racist, but maybe accommodating racism. Which isn’t good either.

 

[TRW]

If Colt McCoy is under center in anything but an absolute blow out, the Cards are in deep kimchee.

There's no racist content in the actual song, its lyrics are poking fun at an old dean. It receives criticism because it was created by someone who was racist. You could get rid of every school song/tradition if they were all held to that standard. I don't think you can reasonably call supporting the song accommodating racism.

There is a controversy about it now, but calling Colt a horrible person for supporting the song is such a hot take that I assume Cheese is just trolling.

Yeah, that’s not an accurate description of the controversy.

“The song has been a sore subject for minority students for decades. The title is taken from a favored saying of a former school president who had mimicked remarks by Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The song was routinely performed by musicians in blackface at minstrel shows”
