NFL: Colt McCoy to be cut?

Pretty sure they'll keep Delhomme, Wallace, and McCoy.
I really doubt this "report". For one thing, there are no quotes in the crap spewed out by the Sporting News, and this "report" is nowhere to be found on the Cleveland Plain Dealer website. When I see quotes from the Browns themselves, I'll believe McCoy is on the bubble.

I've never thought McCoy was going to have much of a future in the NFL. He was a good system QB surrounded by great talent at Texas and he's not a very big guy
The guy went down in the draft faster than a White House intern. Great collage QB, just debatable whether he fits the NFL.
I'd be shocked if he were cut though, franchises don't like to admit failure this early with first and early 2nd day picks.

Yes, because you must be a minimum of 6'5" 230 lbs. to play QB in the NFL. Don't tell that to Steve Young, Brett Favre, Kurt Warner, or Drew Brees (all 6'2" or shorter. All Super Bowl winners in the last 15 years.)
Current NFL starters like Mark Sanchez, Donovan McNabb and Aaron Rodgers are 6'2", while Alex Smith and Matt Leinart are 6'5".
Didn't the Broncos cut Clarrett before the season started? I remember him getting taken early in the second day. I could easily be completely wrong on all of this.
Tell me when Colt hits 5'10". It's not impossible, look at Flutie or even Seneca, but you need to be a great player to make it work.
You are correct. Broncos took Clarrett with the last pick of the 3rd round back when the 3rd round finished the first day of the draft. However, Clarrett and McCoy are two totally different situations. Broncos drafted Clarrett when he had not played football in 2 years prior to his drafting.
Here is a link to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nice paragraph about Seneca, McCoy is in the last paragraph about making the cut. Not much else said.

For one thing, McCoy is 6'2" 217. Kurt Warner played at 6'2" 215. Height and weight of a quarterback is not the deciding factor in whether or not a quarterback is/will be great or not.
When does someone show up arguing that a 6'1"/6'2" QB can't play in the NFL because he won't be able to see over the linemen?
Wow, this is what Sporting News and others are running off of...
That is not a "report" as Sporting News was claiming. It's a ******* opinion. Still no quotes from the Browns on it either.
