The Andrew Luck Bowl no more

Early in the season, Sunday's Browns/Bills game was tabbed the Andrew Luck Bowl.

But with Buffalo currently holding the fourth pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and Cleveland the 13th pick, that is unlikely.

It's not necessarily their draft position that eliminates either team from taking the talented Stanford quarterback. Instead, it's been surprising quarterback play.

For the Browns, third-round pick

Colt McCoy

showed he has the accuracy and leadership ability to be the Browns’ future starter. Only a high ankle sprain has kept him out the past two games and will likely do so again this week.
But McCoy has shown he can not only manage games, but win them for the run-first Browns.
For the Bills,

Ryan Fitzpatrick

may be doing enough to warrant another season as the starting quarterback. Against the

Bengals

, he brought the team back from a 21-point deficit. Even before that game, Bills general manager Buddy Nix said Fitzpatrick isn’t the problem in Buffalo.
Whether fans agree or not, if the front office believes it, Luck may not be the choice for Buffalo in April. The same can be said for Cleveland.
