    Forgot we don't have the money to do that.

  • How can someone say we shouldn't take a guy when they don't even watch college football? Dude, you shouldn't even comment on anything draft related. I agree with Taco, run along little boy

  • im tired of everyone thinking rg3 is our savior hes going to come here and wont have anyone to throw to either and you guys on rg3s nuts will be saying the same thing about him in 2 years when his stats look bad for two years and we dont get to the playoffs cuz were turning it over again

  • i would rather have blackmon and Ryan Tannehill or blackmon and zach brown

  • wow. a thread about re-signing hillis turns into a RGlll thread. what a bunch of flamers.

  • exactly

  • I remember a certain WR by the name of Crabtree that was supposed to be the schnizzle and really I don't see the guy stacking TD's. He had 4 this year. Hype does not equal TD's. Of course the argument could be said that he has Alex Smith for a Qb... But still, Crabtree is not producing based on his draft position.

    do me a favor....try gaining some information on the subject if your gonna bust balls, cause i dont even watch college football, yet seem to know a bit more than you.

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Justin Blackmon did everything but salivate and suit up Thursday when he was told that Stanford defenders spoke of playing him man-to-man in the Fiesta Bowl. "Thats the best thing out there: one-on-one matchups," Blackmon said. See man. See man burned. See man turn and chase. Teams seldom challenge Blackmon that way. Its been slim to very slim, but I like it every time it happens," he said. "You are on your little island. Its whoever wants it more and whoever wants to go get it." Blackmon has been the king of the island the two years, although he is more often bracketed by zone defenses than permitted to work against single coverage. His numbers overwhelm, even given the fact that Oklahoma States spread offense caters to the passing game and he has a gifted quarterback in Brandon Weeden making the throws.

    there's tons of articles like this around...try actually reading sometime.

    now run along....

    And how did he look against Stanford? Why don't you check out his stats for that game. If you don't watch college ball you probably shouldn't talk about it. Are you going to give people stock advice if you don't pay attention to the stock market?

    Why don't you go ahead and run along

    I mean, he clearly made the point he was trying to make.

    He said Blackmon faces more zone coverage than man-to-man, which is out of respect for his abilities, and then backed it up.

    I don't understand what the conflict is.

    Blackmon had probably his best game against Stanford, who dared to face him in man coverage. Then again, Stanford is also ranked 95th in pass defense, giving up over 250 yards per game through the air.

    Nobody is denying Blackmon's skill. He's a great player and will go top 5, and surely have a solid career.

    Personally, I believe Alshon Jeffery has much higher potential than Blackmon, seeing as the quality of defenses he faced week in and out and because of his physicality. But Blackmon is more of a sure thing. Alshon Jeffery could be Calvin Johnson-esque, or he could make no impact whatsoever. Blackmon will never be Calvin Johnson, but he's not going to fade away, either.

  • So-o-o-o-o meanwhile back at the topic...

    What is Hillis worth?

    How long of a contract do you give him?

    How much guaranteed money?

  • ROFLMAO...

  • I still say re-sign Hillis and draft Richardson... listen to yourselves

    "We're set at RB if we resign Hillis..." really?

    Hillis missed half of the season

    Hardesty is consistently injured and hasn't performed all that well when healthy

    Jackson missed all of last year

    Oh but wait... Obaganayayanaa............ that's our answer?????

    Newsflash**

    Luck and Blackmon will probably be gone by our pick. Unless you are sold on RGIII, there is nobody else worth taking other than Richardson. We NEED NEED NEED the best offensive weapon we can get. Passing on this kid would be stupid, especially if your argument is that we are "set at RB"

    Give me a break...

    lmao...cause obviously spending time watching it has made you and taco experts? which is really the point.....

    i use the same criteria to evaluate college players. you geniuses that think watching every game makes you know more, i will simply refer you to all your repeated gushings and man-love for particular guys that you like for reasons you cant explain other than "his stats are ridiculous" or he's just a beast on the field". you can say blackmon is the best....but what does that even mean? see, youre not smart enough to realize that most stats does not ALWAYS mean best player.

    i watch college football dipshit....i dont worship it or plan my day around it. cause frankly, you cant learn much watching future NFL players beat up on scrubs.

    I believe that the Browns do need a RB...a fast scatback, Eric Metcalf type perhaps.

    What I am not sure is if Richardson gives us anything much different than a healthy Payton Hillis gives us.

    News flash. Worst team in the NFL seeks to sign shit running back.

    The Colts are trying to sign Maurice Clarett?!

    *DING DING DING*

    I'll take a lightning-quick back over another bruiser on our team if re-sign Hillis. This team has way too many needs to spend a #4 pick on a luxury position like RB. We need WRs, QB, RT, MLB, and another CB.

    Runningback at #4 would just perpetuate the notion that our management really doesn't know what they're doing.

  • On another note, I fully called (from square one) DeMarco Murray being a stud. He and Hillis would have been the perfect combo.

    So yeah, no to Richardson.

    I'll wait for Knile Davis next year if we have to. Atleast he won't be a top 10 pick.

  • If Imagobbleya averaged 4.5 yds per carry behind our line... how many would TR3NT get? I'd have to say at least 9 yards because OBI couldn't carry Trents jock.

  • Don't forget like I often do Jackson should be healthy this year. After not playing at all last year seems like he should owe the Browns an extra year from his 2 yr. deal. Anyway, Obgannaya showed potential behind a horrible line.

    Hillis and his shenanigans need to go. He didn't play hard until he realized what a hole he put himself into. He showed his true colors last year and they're not brown and orange. If it hasn't already that contract can't expire fast enough.
