Cleveland Browns QB Colt McCoy said he’s had a rough ride this far in his pro career, particularly with so many changes to the coaching staff. ‘It’s been a rough ride thus far,’ McCoy said. ‘We’ve had our ups and downs.

Most are things out of your control. But for me, I would just like a little consistency.’
