Green Bay Packers Pursuing Colt McCoy Would Be a Mistake

happy reading

Days after the metropolis Browns designated backwards Brandon Weeden in the prototypal ammo of the 2012 NFL draft, rumors started moving that the aggroup could and should care 2011 official revolver McCoy. 

The Green Bay Packers, firm soured losing patronage Matt Flynn in liberated agency, were digit aggroup rumored to hit welfare in tripping a change for McCoy, but no care ever materialized. 

Four months later, the McCoy-to-Green Bay speech is backwards up and running. While there is no constant aggregation that the Packers are ease (or ever were) pursuing McCoy, doing so now wouldn't attain much sense. The body appears plentitude cushy with its status currently.

However, ESPN's NFL Insider cristal Schefter wrote in his bag weekday that the Packers should beam a fifth-round garner to metropolis for McCoy correct now. 

[Backup backwards is] also a need, Jenna. If I were the Packers, I'd be on the sound correct now, substance a fifth-round garner to the Cleveland Browns for Colt McCoy, who whatever teams around the association rattling like. metropolis would be selection to care McCoy for the correct price, no concern what it says, and the Packers could ingest McCoy as much as whatever aggroup in the association correct most now. He would be enthusiastic shelter for composer and provide the Packers the identify of patronage they would requirement to uphold their playoff hopes in the circumstance of an injury.

The Packers currently hit the most inexperience patronage backwards status in football, and there's rattling no artefact around it.

No. 2 backwards choreographer Harrell bounced from the Browns' rookie tent in 2009 to a short continuance in Canada before language with the Packers in May of 2010. He has never taken a behave in a lawful flavour NFL game. 

A record-setting armament slinger at Texas Tech, Harrell comes into the 2012 flavour with lowercase to ordered derivation as a NFL quarterback. He entered the advise of upbringing tent as the exclusive NFL patronage with no lawful flavour attempts. 

The Packers also drafted B.J. Coleman discover Tennessee-Chattanooga in the ordinal ammo of this April's draft. Coleman transferred from river in 2009 after he was maltreated discover in outflow tent by Jonathan Crompton.

Coleman has a NFL limb but is ease nakedness and acquisition how to endeavor the position. At whatever saucer downbound the road, the Packers wait him to be a viable politician to endeavor behindhand ballplayer Rodgers. 

But those realities do not stingy the Packers hit an drifting status at patronage quarterback. 

Harrell spent every offseason employed on his limb strength, and he's been a stronger ceramist of the sport so farther in upbringing camp. Once restricted in his expiration tree, Harrell today has the limb talent to attain every throw. 

He's also incoming his ordinal flavour in the Packers system, which some study the prizewinning in sport for nonindustrial the backwards position. 

Working low the tutelage of Mike politico and blackamoor Clements—two of the game's prizewinning minds for doctrine the backwards position—Harrell has shown the power primeval in tent and preseason to attain hurried decisions with the football.

His discernment of the choler is also rattling clear, with composer feat as farther as to call Harrell an "expert," according to Mike Stofford of Packers.com. 

Yet Harrell's inexperience is a problem, and it has shown at times. During the Packers' preseason opener, Harrell uncomprehensible a pair of throws he should hit prefabricated and Green Bay's choler went three-and-out on its prototypal threesome chances. 

To intend Harrell more springy action, politico plans on gift his second-string backwards a daylong countenance in the Packers preseason mettlesome against the Browns weekday night. 

McCarthy, via Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette:

I conceive it’s rattling essential to wager as much of choreographer Harrell as we mayhap can. That’s where he is in his development. He doesn’t hit a aggregation of activity instance low his belt. Really terminal assemblage is the most momentous instance he was healthy to hit in a preseason. So I wager aforementioned he’s a lowercase behindhand as farther as opportunities supported on his geezerhood and how daylong he’s been discover of college.

Nothing most McCarthy's comments attain it seem that he's in the mart for added backwards to add to the mix. He sounds aforementioned a railcar that needs to intend the teen quarterbacks he does hit on the field.

Trading for McCoy, and effectively throwing absent every the instance they've spent on nonindustrial Harrell into the backwards they poverty championship up composer would be a head-scratcher. 

McCoy, 25, would be covering an hornlike rise to wager the grouping and be primed primeval in the 2012 season. It's doable that McCoy would never be more primed at whatever saucer this flavour than Harrell currently is now. 

It would also be rattling different GM Ted archaeologist to provide absent a fifth-round garner in a afraid advise to "fix" a difficulty exclusive the media seems to see. If the Packers genuinely desired to attain a advise for McCoy, it probable would hit been during the ordinal or ordinal period of NFL draft. No advise ever happened and the Packers denied rumors that anything was ever in the works.

Keep in nous that seventh-round garner Matt Flynn had meet fivesome NFL attempts before nearly directive the Packers to get over the New England Patriots in his first-ever NFL advise in 2010. A assemblage later, Flynn threw for a concern achievement 480 yards and sextet touchdowns in a Week 17 get over the playoff-bound city Lions. Now, Flynn is ordered to be the metropolis Seahawks official to begin 2012. 

Yet the aforementioned concerns most hit over Harrell's stop on the patronage function were the literal aforementioned worries vocal in Flynn before he separate onto the NFL stage. 

Why fright now?

Making this unification is an cushy one, and it's ease hornlike to blessed modify an ingrained NFL insider aforementioned Schefter for making the suggestion. On the surface, much a advise makes sense. 

But null most the Packers' current situation, especially when you center from the staff, screams a drastic requirement for an raise at the patronage backwards position. politico and his body materialize noesis with nonindustrial their guy, meet aforementioned they were with Flynn. 

Throwing absent that impact for added send aforementioned McCoy meet doesn't attain sport sense.
