“The West Coast, it takes time,” he says. “Some of the coaches called me in the other day and showed me some numbers: Steve Young was 3-16 in his first 19 starts, with a low 60 percent completion rate. Joe Montana started 2-10. Their point to me was, ‘It takes time. Can you be doing better? Yeah. We all can. But just keep fighting. It will happen.’ And that’s exciting, because I know how sweet it’s gonna be.
This part of the article struck me the most. Here's this guy, has had about the same amount of ups as downs (although I lean more toward ups), yet his attitude is that of a Steve Young or Joe Montana. He has played enough games to know whether or not the NFL is for him yet all he thinks about is the day he succeeds.
People like that do succeed. Everybody talks about Tim Tebow but Colt McCoy has the "it" factor. Right now it's showing as moxie, but sooner or later that will translate into a super bowl. My only hope is that we don't chase him out of Cleveland within the next 2 or 3 years.
