BEREA, Ohio – Eric Mangini didn't see any trick-or-treaters dressed like rookie quarterback Colt McCoy while the Browns coach was out with his three sons.
However, there were little No. 12s running around neighborhoods all over Cleveland.
McCoy is clearly the people's choice.
But is he Mangini's?
Cleveland's coach did little to clear up his quarterback quandary on Monday, saying he has not yet decided on his starter for Sunday when the Browns (2-5) host the New England Patriots (6-1). Mangini did not provide any clues if he's leaning in any direction, and restated that his final choice will be based on the player that gives his team the best opportunity to succeed.
"We're playing to win the games," he said.
On their first day back from the bye week, Cleveland's three quarterbacks were all in different places.
McCoy was on the practice field, throwing, running and looking like a leader. Seneca Wallace was in the trainer's room, getting more medical treatment on a lingering ankle injury. And Jake Delhomme was somewhere at the Browns' facility, just nowhere in sight.
By Sunday, one of them will be back in the starting lineup.
At this point, which one is anyone's guess.
