McCoy - 58.3% 6.25 yd/att
Smith (circa 2011) - 57.1% 6.20 yd/att

Very similar

McCoy under Harbaugh for a year will greatly improve. Remember, Cleveland sucked.

That was the point. He should be able to see an appreciable increase in production, just like Alex (if required of course). Hopefully he'll only see mop-up duty.

It's called the eye test.

When it's all said and done I think Colt will win the #2 QB spot. If everything goes right though he will only see the field in 4th quarter garbage time because we are blowing out our opponent.

Are you saying that the eye test would have gone in favor of Alex, before Harbaugh? Because I don't know about that. I'd say there were about the same. And before 2011, the Browns were in a tougher division than the Niners.

"McCoy is a more accurate passer and a better runner."

Eye test falls in favor of McCoy in that one. Plus McCoy didn't have near as the same pieces around him like Alex did.

Ok, I think we agree...

Either way, having Harbaugh for a year or two will do wonders for his career. Maybe we can end up trading him for another 2 seconds

Im hoping he is our backup for only this year, would love to get Jake Locker next season if the Titans dub him "bust"

Take in castoff QB's, have Harbs coach em up, then turn em into draft picks

About as similar a QB to Alex as they could have hoped to get. Alex has better arm strength and slightly better mobility, McCoy has better accuracy and represents more of a natural leader....field general.

This is the best thing that could of happened to Mckoy. Gets traded to a super bowl contender and gets to train with the Yoda of QB coaches.
