Wednesday, at the overhyped convention that is the NFL Scouting Combine, Mike Holmgren spoke these words about Browns QB Colt McCoy:

"We will draft a quarterback. You can almost count on it... I believe in the young guy we have, [but] I'm pretty sure we'll take one later in the draft."

Which is not to say that Holmgren is looking to replace McCoy, who he proclaimed to be the starting QB.

 

"It works best if you can identify 'the guy,' let him know he's 'the guy,' and train him appropriately to be 'the guy'.  It's nice to have all this competition and all this stuff, but it doesn't work very well, usually. So if you believe in a young man, believe he's 'the guy,' then you have to go with it."

So the Front Office is solidly behind Colt McCoy... as far as we know.  Even if they thought his chances of being a Franchise QB were slim to less than slim, they would still publicly announce they were behind Colt 100%.  However, I still think this kind of statement makes it less likely that Browns fans will see their team select Cam Newton or that guy from Missouri in the upcoming draft.
