Most people don't know that "Colt" McCoy's real name is Daniel. McCoy has sparked alot of debate as to whether or not he will amount to anything in the Pro's. I believe that he will be a back up before he gets the chance to start at the NFL level. Colt McCoy had an excellent collegiate career give or take a few not so great games (i.e. The 2009 Big 12 Championship Game). Although it wasn't completely McCoy's fault that Ndamukong Suh destroyed his offensive line and flung him around like a rag doll, the Senior Quarterback still struggled throughout that game. Even though McCoy had a few "off" games, he did show flashes of talent at times. He has the tools and what it would take to be good someday in the NFL but at this time it is only potential. Potential doesn't mean much unless you live up to it though. McCoy will have his work cut out at the next level.
The 6'3" 210 LB Texas Quarterback managed to start as a Freshman and that was the case all the way through his Senior year at Texas. He has always maintained a high completion rate throughout the course of his collegiate career. His Junior passer completion rate was off the charts at an astounding 76.1%. On more than a few occasions this year, McCoy managed to have above an 80% completion rate as well. In 2008, against the Missouri Tigers, McCoy completed 91% of his passes (the best of his career). Accuracy is one of McCoy's best assets which is what leads me to believe that he does have that potential. He comes from a spread heavy offense and will need to learn to transition from taking more snaps under center as most "spread" Quarterbacks do.
McCoy was among the Heisman Finalists this year along with Tim Tebow, Toby Gerhart, and Ndamukong Suh. The 23 year old has finished with several awards and honors and worked very hard to obtain them all. Colt has had one of the best college careers that a guy could ever want. I can imagine that he will work just as diligently as he did at the next level. He has that drive and work ethic in what it takes to be good.
Below, I want to highlight some of McCoy's college accomplishments... Let's take a look...
This video of Colt McCoy illustrates his accuracy as well as his ability to get out and scramble when pressured. He is a natural born leader and just a well-rounded individual. The kind of guy that one would want on their team.

SUMMARY AND PROJECTIONS:
Colt McCoy suffered an injury early on in the National Championship Game this year which will have little to no impact on where he will be selected in this years draft. It was unfortunate that the Country did not get to have a better look at the Texas Quarterback. I believe that McCoy will be a very high 2nd Round pick and he could very well go to the Rams if they don't acquire a Quarterback through free agency. I am not sure why, and it could just be me, but alot of how McCoy plays the game reminds me of Eli Manning.
Possibilities -- 2nd Round: Rams, Redskins, Seahawks, Browns, Raiders, Bills, Broncos

This guy is actually quite forgettable when I do mocks.
Now that I am remembering him, I would rather have him go to the Vikings over TEbow.
Tribute to #44...............The Elmira Express!!
McCoy is basically a white Tavaris Jackson without the arm. Also known as the king of the dump off pass.
Andy Lee for MVP! Hey, that rhymes...
We're settling with a dump off WR, so what's wrong with the Vikes doing it
Tribute to #44...............The Elmira Express!!
McCoy couldn’t lead the 1994 49ers to the playoffs, so why should he be able to do the same for the Vilkings in 2010?
Andy Lee for MVP! Hey, that rhymes...
McCoy is alot better than he is credited for. He is nothing near how bad Tebow stinks because he actually does have upside. He is accurate even when he goes downfield. I think the biggest concern is that he is a “spread” QB. Had he played for Notre Dame or USC he would have gotten the credit due I believe.
The Tim Tebow Story "A Bust In The Making" ...Part 2 Coming After The Draft...Stay Tuned.
Yeah...
And I don’t buy the lack of arm strength argument either. He doesn’t have a Drew Brees-esque rifle attached to his shoulder but he’s not Shaun Hill either. He can accurately throw the ball down the field 20-30 yards, 40 yards is probably starting to push his depth, though.
He’s just as mobile as Tebow without most of the mechanical issues or the Jesus complex.
And I don’t buy the lack of arm strength argument either.
What?
The dude can only throw accurately for about 30 yards.
He’s no better than LeFevour, IMO.

Which is what I said...
I said he doesn’t have a cannon, but he’s pretty damn accurate up to about 30 yards and decently accurate till about 40 yards. That “lack” of arm strength would prevent 70 yard bombs, but those types of passes aren’t any offense’s bread and butter. He’s more than sufficient for 90+% of pass plays in any NFL playbook.
Oh McCoy
might not even have the arm shaun hill has.
That pass to Morgan in 08’ was about 56 yards
I haven’t seen any film of McCoy ever throwing that far.
1.Trent Williams 1.Brandon Graham 2. Syd Thompson 3.Torell Troup 4.Andrew Quarless 5.John Jerry 6.Mike Kafka 7.Quinton Andrews 7.Preston Parker
He has questionable arm strength too

He is a rookie QB.
I have to stop responding to you.
"Because if you use Davis on the outside, it creates major mismatches. You add Crabtree, Gore, and a guy like Spiller to that formation and you are set up to be unstoppable."
- The Great philosopher
Niners can be unstoppable, and no this isn't a Madden formation, this is the NFL, ROTFL!
Trent Edwards?
Now that I think of it, he does remind me of captain checkdown.

Injury/lack of recent playing time
I would think he’ll have to show up and do some convincing at the combine. Not his fault, but the BCS Championship and not being at the Senior Bowl did not help his stock. But I like his heart.
Colt McCoy=Questionable Durability
'I wanna see him be able to catch the short pass and be elusive and go for six.'
-Jerry Rice on Michael Crabtree
I may be wrong, but I think he never missed a game?
I think he was a 4 yr starter and never missed a game until the injury in the bowl game (he started) and finished his career with the most wins ever by a started QB in college history
Reggie Bush never missed a game at USC either
A statistic that has absolutely nothing to do with durability in the NFL.
I’m sure you know my link above was meant to be comical, however it is a fact that Colt McCoy took a lot of punishment playing college football. It’s also a fact that McCoy was plagued by injuries much of his college career. Although his ability to start in every game may be a testament to his fortitude and toughness, it does not address his durability.
It’s just my opinion, but I don’t think he has the durability to play for more than just a few years in the NFL.
"…during the first half of the 1985 season Rice continued to drop many, many passes when he was wide open."
Comment by 49erFanSince1950
Being an Orangeblood, I have an obvious bias,
But I definitely believe he should be a much more highly ranked prospect than a lot of the QB’s in this draft. Personally I’d say he’s better than Clausen and there’s so much buzz about Clausen, besides, Clausen’s coming out of a terrible Notre Dame that had been led by some pretty awful coaches. Even when throwing it down field he was getting it in the places it needed to be fairly consistently.
If he goes after Tebow I’ll be incredibly pissed because he’s twice the quarterback Tebow is.

Personally I’d say he’s better than Clausen
Wow.

Must be joking?
Better than Clausen? I highly doubt that. McCoy will only be chosen before the 3rd round because the QB class this year is weak.
No, personally, I never saw Clausen when he was doing well.
I caught parts of Notre Dame games and he just didn’t look like anything all that special.

'''Wow is this a Texas Bashing or Mcoy Bashing '''
Im going put it out there im a big time texas fan but im going 2 be fair as much as i can yea he does’nt have the rifle 4 a arm like vanderbilts jay cutler but at the same time he won’t throw 16 to 17 interceptions either that’s in the N,F.L yea he dumps of 5 yard passes he can throw effectivley 35 2 45 yards downfield accordly the playing in the shotgun will 70% of the time but would you say if new england patriots took him in the 4th round thats a steal with a team that throws from the shoutgun more then half of the time that has a very good slot reciever that runs alot of bubble screens yea they go down feilod even though moss is getting older every year and they run the ball 2 whoever put tebow ahead of him was thinkiing about what he’s accomplised not skill wise that move out of the way give tebow the ball and watch 4’’7 maybe 4’8 speed run over somebody don’t work in the N.F.L Mcoy does have quesion marks and we’ll be a project but a good project he is consistent accuret my gripe is his toughness that bcs bowl really shocked me he 2 me wimped out and looked week and at that my scary me more then anything so there it is i feel early 3rd , late 3rd, early 4th , late 4th thats a steal , steal, steal, , espicially when you got a quarter back who has alot of pride and will bust his as 4 you so this will motivate him if you look at this crop who’s out there thats ballin out of there minds ya boy from oklahoma he’s fragile what clausen where’s his big game wins at . pike from cinncinatti okay he’s up and down and a stick figure in the pockect i’m not sold on him ,tebow were you playing him at qb ,te, rb,hell lets say de ,im not feeling either yea its other quebees out there im just saying over all he’s a really good quaterback he looks threw his progression makes the right reads and doesn’t throw alot of picks so i said my peace and will see in the future
You know, it's not wimpy when your coaches aren't allowing you on the field
He tried desperately to get back to the field, but his shoulder was too numb to do much with.
