Looks like Colt is being anointed here as the Cleveland Browns new permanent starting quarterback. Congratulations Colt! You showed all the nay-sayers and they will all have to eat their words now, which is what any underdog should be striving to see happen. Well done!
Colt McCoy back as Browns' starting quarterback
BEREA, Ohio Browns rookie quarterback Colt McCoy will start Cleveland's final three games this season, beginning Sunday vs. Cincinnati (2-11).
McCoy sat out the past three games with a high ankle sprain, but after he looked good in practice Wednesday, coach Eric Mangini decided to move him back into the starting lineup ahead of Jake Delhomme. It's unusual for Mangini to announce his plans at quarterback, but he felt McCoy has earned the opportunity.
McCoy, who only received a chance to play this season because of injuries to Delhomme and Seneca Wallace, went 2-3 in five starts. The Browns are 5-8.
Mangini said McCoy was "excited and determined" when he was told about starting.
