    Hey buddie, guess who? haha 😁

  • Well all I have to say is this better work out. We are trading the 3rd overall pick from less than 2 years ago for a much lower 1st round pick next yr. We should have gotten at least a player in return or another pick in my opinion. If they screw this up I expect Lombardi and Banner to be shown the door quickly. If it works I will be the first to heap praise in them. I am very skeptical.

    I don't think this is the worst move ever but three reasons I don't love it.

    1. This season is over there is pretty much no reason to watch a single game, there is a legit chance 0-16 is possible

    2. If I'm on defense I hate ownership and will despise the offense

    3. That oh yeah guy doesn't jump off the board to me next year. I don't see an Andrew Luck or RG III or even a Trent Richardson for that matter.

    From what I was seeing, TR wasn't going to light it up this year anyway.

    With what we have on O currently, I think just about any decent RB is going to give us similar results (sub par), so this is almost a non factor to me right now.

    Don't get me wrong, I wanted TR to be the next coming of Jim Brown or Barry Sanders . . . I just wasn't seeing it for a #3 pick.

    Oh, an we hit 2363

    4-12 or 5-11 would be better than what we are in for. What do you think the line for Sunday will go to?

  • Cribbs is coming off injury. I'd like to see him run a little Wilddog in Chuds offense. Gotta be better than what we're gonna have now.

    Jeez.. if you thought last week was Boring.... just wait until sunday. If I was Gordon I'd be BLOWING A HUGE BLUNT IN BANNER FACE.

    Dog. No motherfucking loyalty. Cribbs put everything on the line for us. Don't fucking talk about Cribbs.

    So we should pay a guy 5+ million a year in a SALARY CAP league just to be loyal when it's clear he has NOTHING left in the tank? I loved Cribbs with the Browns, for many years he was the only reason to watch this team play but the dude was done the last year or two and the fact that he was cut by the Raiders and not picked up by anyone in the NFL proves the point.

    He was DONE...

  • I think it would be funny if The Browns win this Sunday LOL It wont happen but it would be funny

    I don't know if you've watched football lately, but the WildDawg crap is starting to become extinct. Hardly any teams run it anymore. Miami's coach tried to hold onto to that from the Patriots upset a few years ago and got shown the door.

  • Seriously, could someone who is excited about getting the first round pick please explain to my why they think that first round pick will work out? You're assuming we'll get someone better than Richardson. I'm afraid we'll get someone worse than a 30-year old QB who still can't play.

    Yep...clearly you are right...all 32 teams are wrong about him. Just like you were exactly right and Colt McFuckingCoy was going to lead the Browns to the playoffs when we all told you he was done in Cleveland.

    Take a fucking big hit on the bong and pass out and then go become a Colts fan...

    This is extremely confusing. I think you mean extinct.

  • Here is an interesting idea. GM for the day let say we get #2 and #15 who you taking? That's what makes me nervous do Brett Hundley and Sammy Watkins make us any better than Weeden and Richardson?

    Richardson has done nothing. Dion lewis looked better than him. At this point ANY first round pick is better to me. Running backs are a dime a dozen and their stock has dropped. I guarantee the vikes would trade Adrian Peterson for a great quarterback right the hell now if they could.

  • Does Haslam need bail money? Can we get a bag of cotton candy for Haden? Was it Lombardi that thinks you can win without a RB? Who needs an offensive line anyway? Watching paint dry will be more exciting than Browns games this year. I miss Lerner already!!

    If you miss Lerner you are insane. Randy Lerner never gave the first shit about football.

    Apologies typo. Yes i meant extinct, fixed it.

  • People way back when thought the Cowboys were stupid for trading a guy named Hershel Walker.... now they got a bucket full of picks for him...but how did that work out in the long run?

    Hi, I've been a Browns fan for decades, but I am new to these boards. I joined specifically to discuss this issue, but I'll be around from now on.

    I see a lot of people saying they are glad about the trade or Richardson needed to go or something similar. I agree that Richardson wasn't going to hoist the team onto his back and carry it deep into the playoffs. My question for those people, however, is how they believe the Browns benefitted from this trade. Do you believe the Browns are somehow ahead because they got what's bound to be a mid- to late-first round pick? What on earth would make anyone believe that was a benefit to the Browns? Last year the Browns had two first round picks and they took Richardson and Weeden. How can you possibly have faith that a mid- to late-first round draft pick is going to be better than TRich? As far as I can tell, that's completely baseless. Basically, they've traded a solid running back (regardless of your personal opinion, the Colts and the rest of the sports world seem to think he's worth WAY more than the Colts first-round pick) for a chance to make another in what has historically been a long list of drafting mistakes.

    Browns FO obviously see something in TRich they didn't like. durability? attitude? Could be a combination of both and more. They realized their predecessors vastly overvalued his ability to be a marquis playmaker, he is not that guy. review his performances from games 1 and 2 and I think you will understand better why he is not a good match with the Browns. I see this trade as damage control. the browns need to compensate now before TRich's value begins to deteriorate....and it will deteriorate.
