    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.

                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.

                        I would really hope they wouldn't be that shallow about it. You just don't mess with a mans livelyhood like that ya kno.

                            Dude,

                            it isn't about me. I WISH I was dead ass wrong in my assessments. That's what you don't understand.

                            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.

                              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

                                  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.

                                  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.

                                    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.

                                    I would really hope they wouldn't be that shallow about it. You just don't mess with a mans livelyhood like that ya kno.

                                    And a coach doesn't appreciate a player being all about himself.

                                      Ghoolie. Hillis has played in only two full games this season. Cincy and Indy. Shit happens and it's happened to hillis. He's got some of the best hands in the league for a rb, and with a good line he can get in space and do what he does best....get 3-4 yards while being tackled even if he's stuffed. He runs downhill and is still a handful to take down. He doesn't not "blow" at all. Why would he be on the madden cover dude, he had broken ribs the last chunk of the season where he "sucked". The way this guy runs in the NFL, of course he's gonna get banged up and won't be able to be 100 percent every game. He still is a good rb. With 25 carries to him? We've only had one game this year giving him that rhythm. He had 94 yds and two tds. I agree with u saying he may be slightly overrated. But the guy still has talent we can't pass up!!!

                                        Giving hillis the ball 8 times a game is in no way a true representation of what he can do, we seen what he can do if you give him the rock, all this other whiny bullshit you guys are talking about is making me laugh.

                                        Give him the ball 25 times tomorrow and i am pretty sure all you faggots who are turning your back on this guy would turn right back around and suck his dick, flip flop city of homos i swear.

                                        In Cleveland failure is an artform.

                                          I suppose Gscmoolie is bashing everything in sight. "yawn", but I wouldn't know.

                                          I have him on ignore. Life around here is much more peaceful.

                                          BTW, I still have a theory that Gshmoolie and Rich are conjoined twins,

                                          and Rich has the sense of humor and the class. Living in the past

                                          surely makes for a sad here and now for them, I think.

                                          It's more likely, that the Browns used Hillis a lot last year, and he was starting to get beaten up.

                                          Now, if any one of us were in his position, wouldn't we want to get a bigger salary for later years after football,

                                          when we need hip and knee replacements, and our fingers are bent from all the fractures?

                                          The 48 mill is too much. Battering rams don't last another five or six years. Hillis's agent is playing

                                          his cards and betting too much because he doesn't have anything to lose, and will still get a nice paycheck in the long run.

                                          Hillis is fine by me, and I hope he gets back on the field, because he always lays it all on the line.

                                          I'm tired of the constant extreme bashing at every turn. It's long, long since gotten out of control for a few folks around here.
