    Looks like McCoy is the front runner right now.

    I would say McCoy, as I think Tebow will be able to have a solid career as a gimmick-type player. Will never be a successful everyday start IMO though.

            Denver isn't cutting Tebow. McDaniels loves him and as Whatsgood said, he can be goal line short yardage, change of pace QB this year.

            I dont know what Cleveland was expecting from McCoy. Did they think he was going to be better than two guys with NFL experience? If they did, Holmgren isn't as bright as I give him credit for being. I think most people thought McCoy was going to eventually become a back-up QB in the NFL. I just don't think he's accurate enough to be another Drew Brees type QB. But if you cut a 3rd round pick, you need to look at your scouts/front office etc. 3rd round picks are supposed to make the team.

              well, he's damn sure not at Texas anymore.

              And he's was drafted by, signed by and is in camp with the Cleveland Browns. So, yes he is a pro. Now, how long he's going to be a pro and how good a pro he's going to be are different questions all together...

                I doubt either will be cut this training camp. The browns wont cut McCoy. No one expects him to be Drew brees, but they wont cut a third round draft pick

                  i don't see tebow getting cut anytime soon. first round picks have
                  to be a huge bust to get cut in their 2nd season.

                    yahoo sports sucks in this regard, they pick up any other blog and report that blogs opinion as news...

                    you think the browns are going to cut Mike Holmgrens personal pick ? or do they think they might cut a guy who Mangini brought in 2 years ago to be a 3rd stringer

                    Colt McCoy is not going to be cut.

                      McCoy is a bigger bust than Tebow. Tebow at least can be used as decoy. McCoy's stock dropped after he faced Nebraska last year which was the only team he faced up to that point with an NFL caliber pass rusher. He was annihilated in that game and showed he was just another Chris Simms.

                        McCoy. They both may be good QB's one day, if a team can keep them on. But especially for McCoy he just does not read defenses fast enough and ends up throwing late and moves out of the pocket for no reason.

                          John the problem with McCoy is he never faced any NFL style defenses when he was in the soft Big12. Tebow faced the Alabama's the LSU's and the Georgia's of the world for 4 years.

                              Bust (sports) is a derogatory term for a player who is drafted at a high position and fails.

                                Yes, for example Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell to name a couple. Not a player drafted in the third round with not so high expectations to begin with.

                                  A third round is a high pick. Like I said his stock dropped after the Nebraska and Alabama games which he got knocked out. If he didn't have the last two games in his resume he would have been a first rounder but teams finally saw his limited capabilities.

                                    tebow looked good against cincy. His receivers had butterfingers, not his fault. The play at the end was just stupid tho. As I said before, if he can mimic big ben he will win. And it looks like he getting off to a good start.

                                      Not high enough to warrant calling someone a bust, what's your cut-off line, an UDFA? I could fully understand calling him a bust if he didn't play poorly in his last two games and was drafted in the first round and then exposed, but calling a third rounder a bust isn't the smartest thing I've heard someone say...

                                        Answer me this then:

                                        Do you think Maurice Clarett was a bust? 3rd round draft choice.

                                          No, not at all. The guy didn't play for like 2 or 3 years before and ran a 4.72. The Broncos were fukking stupid to draft him that high.

                                            imo you have to be drafted in the first round to be put on bust watch. You rarely know what you are getting in the draft so when a team spends their first pick on you, you get put on bust watch. I wouldn't argue against the second round also because historically that is where teams get their values worth. But that takes me back to who was drafted first, that is the guy who can bust. Plus, the difference in first round money and second round money.

                                                  Interesting question... I'm saying neither, they'll both be in the league for a little while... I'm guessing Tebow 7 years... McCoy 3 years.

                                                    It would definitely be McCoy being let go first.
