BEREA, OHIO (AP) - Browns coach Eric Mangini isn’t ready to hand the offensive reins over to rookie quarterback Colt McCoy just yet.
Mangini said Monday that he’s been impressed and pleased with McCoy, who won his second game on Sunday when the Browns (3-5) thrashed the New England Patriots 34-14. Mangini said McCoy is “making the decision harder and harder” about who should start.
Mangini wouldn’t name McCoy his starter for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets (6-2). He wants to wait to see what kind of progress injured quarterbacks Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme have made before he has a thorough analysis on McCoy’s role for the remainder of the season.
McCoy went 14 of 19 for 174 yards and did not throw an interception against the Patriots.
