The Facts:
It would be a shock if McCoy wasn’t Cleveland’s Week1 starter at QB, but team president Mike Holmgren won’t promise it to the second year player just yet. “We have Seneca Wallace, too, and Jake Delhomme as well right now,” Holmgren told NFL Network’s Albert Breer. ”[McCoy] showed us enough where he will go in, and we’re hopeful that — it’ll be competitive — but if he does what I think he can do, he’ll probably be the guy, yeah.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to PFT's Gregg Rosenthal, re-signing Wallace before the lockout started was oddly a vote of confidence for McCoy. Wallace fits in as a backup, and probably prevents the Browns from going after a big name quarterback. A source told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer the Browns won’t go after Kevin Kolb. Given all that, Rosenthal contends that McCoy will essentially be the starter by default, Holmgren's claims to the contrary notwithstanding.
