    well either way he better start producing or his price tag will surely go down.

    let's hope he has a chance to show us he wasn't some flash in the pan........shurmur needs to give him the ball at least 25 times a game, and with some blocking, who knows?

    that is of course if we're not down by 24 points at the half of these games.

      he likely will be out of the league by the 2014 SEASON

        If there is a positive to this hillis bullshit, it's that we get draft picks and/or some moderate playmakers for him. I'd much rather have draft picks for him to build more progress for next year. Sucks to see such a positive symbol of Cleveland one year being given away the next. Damn browns. And I thought we had our running back. Never is easy....especially with Cleveland

            he's not out of here yet. the fact that he was sick/hurt hasn't helped him or his agent's stance nor has the fact that the HC isn't designing plays around the run.

            if he does go into free agency we can always match the figure or trade him before FA.

            i could see the bitterness brewing between the two factions if he doesn't see the ball more in the upcoming weeks.

              48 mill is too much. Hillis isn't worth that and a bag of chips. He didn't even make it to the pro bowl. Too

              Bad the soft mannered, football loving guy we saw last year just wants more money cause of success. $$$ is what it boils down to

                Yep. He's not so down to earth love to just play the game like he says. Anyways...

                Why not start feeding him the ball early and often. That is until as been said we're suddenly down by 24. Then its time to the Garbage Time Champ to start chucking it.

                  Ok man. You're usually pretty dead on with your assessments but get over it already. Try something else.

                  Tooting your own horn is getting old.

                    Ghoolie is an ego maniac and Rich is just his coffee fetcher----keep that in mind as you respond to his rants....

                    I think the Madden thing went to Hillis's head, why else would he be on his third agent this year....

                    This is the NFL... You negoitiate your contract by your play on the field and so far Hillis is not getting the job done...

                    Think about it--Thats why your upper tier players are always saying get the contract done before the season starts cause once the season starts the contract talks stop...

                    The Browns have always taken care of their players, its time for some players to take care of the Browns..

                    BTW if Mary Kay Cabot writes another article on Hillis I think I'm gonna puke---does she have a jones for this guy or what....

                    Peace

                      That is too steep an asking price if the reports are true. Kinda makes me understand why the FO is trying to build it all via the draft and save the money for those who prove it consistently.

                        Yea fellas, no need to ever post anything ever again on here because ghoolie has already covered it all and told us what the deal was.......and remember he's always right so what's the point.

                        Good grief,

                        what is it with you people and this tub-o-shit HIllis?

                        Rich and I predicted that his year two with us would be NOTHING LIKE year one. Why?

                        BECAUSE NONE OF OUR OPPONENTS LAST YEAR CAME IN PREPARED TO HANDLE ANY RUNNING GAME.

                        Rich and I told you guys the same thing about the man HIllis was cloned from, Rueben Droughns. Same thing. He caught teams with their pants down in year one, in year two? Just like Hillis, he got stuffed.

                        HIllis is a C+ level player. Nobody is going to miss a guy like this once he's gone. That's all there is to it. And for the record, he didn't exactly have a HUGE year last year. Huge for US? Okay............... but by NFL standards? YAWN...........

                        Big slow guy with no lateral moves.

                        WOW......... how innovative and unusual. Boy, defenses will have a hard time accounting for this guy............. NOT!

                        Hillis is an also ran. Nothing more, nothing less. He has Dime-A-Dozen talent. If he WAS good, you would see it surely since we are playing the worst defenses in the NFL.

                        Nobody is going to pay HIllis anywhere near what he thinks he is worth. With that, he may clear waivers and get picked up next year as a walk on.

                        Really, the guy blows.

                        !!!!hopefully i'll be alive when it happens!!!!

                          You obviously couldn't read my previous posts either. Droughns was a 2 year wonder if you even want to call it that. One 1200 yard year with Denver and 1 with the Browns. But he had only 6 TD's for Denver and only 2 for us so he was never even that good. Hillis had 1200 yards rushing, nearly 500 yards receiving, and 13 TD's last year. Hardly comparable to Droughns.

                          The only way Hillis is a 1 year wonder is if he can't stay healthy. Unfortunately so far that is the case. He needs to stay healthy and we need to have another RB that can split carries. Hillis doesn't have to run the ball all the time to be effective. He needs to be used in the passing game instead of Hardesty since Hillis can actually block and catch the ball. Hillis is far from useless when he is healthy and used correctly..

                              Anyone consider the possibility that in retaliation, the Browns won't let him see the field much in 2011. If they're pissed at his demands, they may be saying, go sign a free-agent contract - with less than 500 yards this year.

                                    But as long as a big group of fans like this can get on a board where there is a faggot looking letter begging a mediocre player like Peyton Dickless to be nice to us, then we remain a bunch of rubes.

                                    Out talent level absolutely sucks and while you guys may be sick and tired of me? I am sick and tired of posting things, having you guys collectively bitch at how negative I am, only to see my predictions come true at the end, while the damned Browns remain in a state of shit confusion.

                                    It is time for fans here to clear the snot out of their heads and start demanding the quality of players the better teams have. Big Ben, Mendenall, Ward, Harrison, Polamalu.......

                                    Jesus, Joseph and Mary, how many years do I have to sit and watch Browns fans give online blowjobs to stinky players like Hillis, Cribbs and McCoy? How freaking inept can an organization be? In 12 years of Lerner, NOT ONE SINGLE GUY have we acquired who could start for teh Steelers.

                                    Shameful.

                                    Ok say everyone on here started to think exactly like you and agree with everything you say, what would that accomplish exactly? IMO there would be a board full of douches instead of just one. And guess what the browns would still be the same, would not make any difference what so ever.

                                    !!!!hopefully i'll be alive when it happens!!!!

                                      If there is a positive to this hillis bullshit, it's that we get draft picks and/or some moderate playmakers for him. I'd much rather have draft picks for him to build more progress for next year. Sucks to see such a positive symbol of Cleveland one year being given away the next. Damn browns. And I thought we had our running back. Never is easy....especially with Cleveland

                                      What did the Browns organization do? This is all Hillis's doing. He's the one who wants a new contract and sat out a game. I don't blame Shurmur at all for not giving him reps especially after admitting to sitting out the game because of his agent.

                                        48 mill is too much. Hillis isn't worth that and a bag of chips. He didn't even make it to the pro bowl. Too

                                        Bad the soft mannered, football loving guy we saw last year just wants more money cause of success. $$$ is what it boils down to

                                          Yep. He's not so down to earth love to just play the game like he says. Anyways...

                                          Why not start feeding him the ball early and often. That is until as been said we're suddenly down by 24. Then its time to the Garbage Time Champ to start chucking it.

                                          because he sat out a game at the advice of his agent. Coaches rightfully hate that shit.
