For All You Hillis Lovers
-
Family comes before football. No matter what.
I honestly thought this was satire the first time I read it. It's not like he scheduled the wedding on gameday.
In fact, for most teams, full pad practice doesn't begin until Wednesday. Monday is usually an off day with Tuesday being film and walkthroughs.
-
All I have to say is we are 3-3. And even though are wins were not all that impressive we are .500 and I am happy with that. Hillis or no Hillis I scream for the team every Sunday.
-
Of course I bought his jersey last year so this year he becomes as irrelevant as the guy we traded for him.
-
Exactly, how many practices to teams have a week now with the new CBA, 4ish with only 2 being full pads? Let the dude get married without turning it into some conspiracy! Plenty of players get married during the season, the reason you don't hear about it is because it's a none story, just like this one should be, but because everyone needs to question Hillis' devotion to this team because of one serious bout of strep and one pulled hammy this has to be a huge story too. This shit is old. I don't expect Hillis to be back next season because of stupid shit like this and if I were him I'd back up and leave too after have fans turn a 180 on me for no reason other than being too sick to play.

Lighten up people.
Well it's not. Reports are him and his family as well have inflated egos and expect top of the line money. He hasn't proved himself nearly worth that and if i were running this team I would cut him instantly if he missed practice to get married. That's an absolute joke and he's playing games with the team. He's changing his selfless, hard-working image into a joke and is embarrassing and impeding this team. GET RID OF HIM!

I'm too smart for that. Bought the other jersey of the player who seems to want to play the rest of his career in Cleveland. JOE HADEN! plus not as many people have it and i wasn't a huge hillis fan anyways. All about the D!

hi new guy. a very thoughtful and thought provoking post right there.
ie, no one cares what you would do if you were GM.

Can someone please post a link to where anyone creditable has ever said that Hillis has a huge ego. I sure as hell have yet to read it anywhere?
-
you guys can rip hillis for his injury or his marriage or his contract dispute but nobody should say the guy cant play. he had one good year for the browns but it was a year that made the league take notice. he also had a pretty good year for the broncos a few seasons back when there starter went down.
hes fully capable of handling the load but he doesnt wanna play in cleveland anymore and justifiably so. they change coaches and schemes every 2 years...he earned a new contract and he'll get it with someone else. cleveland is a dead end for football players and he realized it in his prime

Wow Browns fans will turn on their own players faster than I thought. Dude had strep throat and now we're tossing him off the reservation. Incredible.

Strep throat? Not really. Last week it listed him as having a "hamstring". Bullshit.
-
hes the best player and he got hurt. then he got sick
is that really so impossible? its just typical browns fans
you guys love the players before they play, then you guys destroy them when theres any shred of evidence they might be unhappy with their situation in cleveland. he wont be back and you guys can thank yourselves for that.
you'll probly be better next year with a rookie QB and no hillis....NOT

You haven't seen me post much on this subject as I refuse to argue with idiotic comments, but the bad mouthing of Hillis by some of these folks is unbelievable. Clearly, he is by far our best back when healthy. We Fans need to let this young man know we WANT & NEED him here. There is an old saying that "A friend in need is a friend indeed". This young man seems to be down right now & needs our support, NOT our criticizing his every move & statement! You can bet he knows of all the ongoing negative crap!
While contract discussions/negotiations can frequently get heated, I trust Holmgren & Co to be fair. I would like to think that Hillis' decision whether or not to remain a Brown will not be influenced by a perception that the Fans have turned against him. We have a real playmaker in Hillis & I, for one, hope he DOES choose to stay here.

INΒ DORSEY I TRUST -
actually who gives a flying FXXK?? as jimmy johnson once said: you can pick up a guy at the local circle k who can start at RB and last as long as 80% of these guys.
anyone who says you can't play because of strept throat is a flaming fag. even kerry collins played with something BROKEN.
-
He sat out because his agent told him to. He wants the big bucks after one decent season. The Browns don't need prima donnas like that on their team.

It's refreshing to see that not everyone buys into the media hype..

Funny, with everyone logic we should just assume that anyone who is injured must be faking it for selfish reasons. I guess when Ward and Young missed over half of the preseason with hamstrings they were really just being lazy. xxxxing ridiculous.
