TRICH traded to colts
-
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.
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.

Maybe for Aaron Rodgers but not for Eli Manning. Richardson was an above average back on a horrible offense. He'll be successful with the Colts.

haha, I miss lerner too. this is collection of baffons and crooks, cutthroats and backstabbers.
I was gonna bonfire everything until I thought of my Bernie Kosar plaque and remembered it's not all bad. I was looking forward to watching Richardson for many years and Haslam better rescind this trade or he can count me and mine OUT>

Actually, it seems to me like QBs are easy to get if you know where to get one. Russell Wilson seems to be working out okay, as does Collin Kaepernick, but we drafted Weeden. My point is that the problem with the Browns hasn't been a lack of picks, it's been not picking the correct players. So forgive me if I don't think another 1st round pick is a great deal for the Browns. I don't see recognize it as a guarantee (or even a good chance) that we'll get anything better than Richardson.

You do realize the guys who picked Weeden and Richardson are fired right?
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
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?

I haven't seen enough of Hundley to be sold just yet but I'm for sure sold on Watkins. There would be a lot more potential in that pairing the 28 year old Weeden and a power running back in Richardson.

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?

I honestly don't think it will change a whole lot.
The biggest plus TR was giving us (with our current OL woes) was his receiving skills, but we weren't even using those to any extent this year.

Guess we won't be seeing you around here much anymore. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I'm sure there's a Colts message board that you can join...or you can go join up with your boyfriend Colt with the Niners, or you can follow Josh Cribbs on the....um...err....uh...oh that's right..he's not playing anywhere right now but you think he' should've been resigned.
Glad we won't be seeing you around here much anymore...don't kill any of your pets over this though...

It is a great deal for the browns. By the end of the season they'd have been lucky to be able to trade him at all.
-
What a shocker... say goodbye to every player with an expiring contract they won't resign.
Maybe it's a good move, maybe TRich will go on to have great success in Indy, still doesn't change that it sucks being a Browns fan.

Without a good offensive line, we could have Jim Brown and Otto Graham in the backfield and they would get killed too.

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?

I was around for that and no one that I remember thought that. Everyone that I recall thought it was crazy what they got for a RB who was already starting to age. Besides, this is all irrelevant since it is not even close to comparable. The Cowboys made out huge because they got a ton of great picks and used them well. The Browns got ONE mid- to late-first round pick for Richardson. Now, MAYBE that player will be the greatest player ever to play football. But, with the Browns picking, there's about the same chance that the same thing could happen with a late round pick or an undrafted FA. I'd have rather seen the Browns get multiple picks later than to see them get one first rounder that they may waste.

Every draft pick may be a waste...based on production vs. draft position, Trent Richardson was a waste. We got something back for someone who wasn't doing a whole hell of a lot, especially this season to win games. 8 points per game wth him so far. How much worse can it really get?

Lots of great qbs and running backs can overcome an average line. An o-line can not block eight or nine guys. A good qb would put a stop to so many guys rushing by connecting on a god damned pass once in a while.

I do. I also realize that another draft and Free Agent period have passed and we still don't have a WR. Did the new guys do something in this year's draft that I should find amazing? Mingo looks decent but, as others have said in this forum about Richardson, I doubt he's going to take us to the playoffs anytime soon.

Somebody please explain to me what this pack of incompetent fuck tards has done so far that leaves you all so confident
that they'll actually draft the the right guy??? NEXT FUCKING SPRING!
Let's start with owner is a crook!!!
The stellar job they did in the coaching search?you remember the one where Chip Kelly made 'em look like bumbling idiots
Was it the swell job they did on the last draft?where we got uh?? wait... uh ??? oh yeah a 200 lb DE.
The game changing free agent class??? where they filled the 1 or 2 positions of need ??like CB?? Kicker??
Or maybe it was training camp??Look how well that turned out...traded a guy we were gonna cut for a starting RG...oh...wait ...no that didn't happen...brought in a house full of RBs...none of which actually made the team...Then cut all the fucking kickers!!!
Yea...I can't see how this could possibly turn out bad for the Browns
Look I really don't give a shit about TR(way over rated) but this draft is going to come down to probably 2 hot name QB's and Clowney...And no matter how you spin it we'll be right back to being 2 to 3 yrs at best away from being relevant in the NFL.
I wasn't crazy about the Mingo pick, but from what I've seen so far I thing he is going to be worth it.
A RB in the top 5 or 10 better damn well be a Jim Brown/Barry Sanders/etc. caliber RB - Trent is good, but he's not shown those qualities to me (as of this point, and I do like him).
Chip Kelly was just maneuvering to get the job he wanted, he never had any interest in the Browns.
FA - we picked up what looks to be two pretty good FA's to me - don't want to go overboard in this area IMO.
Bess was a good pick up as well (not really FA).
We've had a $*** load of injuries, we're playing freaking Cousins (a lousy OT) as our OG, I'm looking at this improving this year with the return of injured players.
The consensus is that the 2013 (this year's) Draft was exceptional weak.
We're loaded for Bear (10 picks currently) for next years Draft which is supposed to be a very rich Draft.
This Regime may end up sucking, but so far I'm seeing them willing to shake things up and make an effort at improving this Team.
Unfortunately this is going to take a little time, but their actions seems to suggest that they are speeding up that process.
When some of our previous Starters and Backups can't even make the Back positions on other Team, that's telling me something is seriously wrong here.
I commend the fact that at least this FO "Kicked the Tires" so to speak of the players we currently have, and are in the process of keeping the good and cutting the bad (we didn't know we had).

Yep! We are seeing sweeping change & given past Browns' history & lack of results, I welcome it.

I am physically ill thinking about this trade. Not because I believed Trent to be a world beater All-Star caliber talent, but because we ended up losing out overall on value.
We traded up to get him at 3, and we're likely to revive a pick between 16-25 for him in return. I love having two first round picks, but we could have easily gotten a later round pick as well for Richardson.
We're gearing up for a big roster overhaul, I believe.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -

A top 5 - 10 RB should be like Jim Brown or Barry Sanders, or of that elite quality in this day and age, they're just rare an good RB's are (somewhat) common.
Trent is solid, but with his injury history, injury likeness, and what he can do with our Team, it just wasn't a good fit - nothing against Trent.
Depending on how we finish out the Season, we may or may not need extra Draft picks to move up to get the QB we want.
If we don't need to move up, then we can pick up another high Draft value player (this would be a double win) in the 1st round.
Honestly, I'm not extremely worried about getting a good RB (elite's another story, but they're rare), I think that is quite feasible.

They are tanking intentionally to try for Manziel? With our luck it will be a race between us and the stillers for the number 1 draft pick. You know who wins the last game and picks number 2. And I'm certain that trading the number 3 pick for about a 20 will result a player that is like a mad dog in a meat market...lol...Go Browns!

"Infanticide is a common practice in most mammals. Male lions use infanticide to get rid of offspring in a newly acquired pride that are not genetically related to the male coalition. Solitary males are also capable of killing the offspring of an encountered pride. Female lions have also been observed to kill cubs from a rival pride, but they would never kill cubs from their own pride. The dead offspring are sometimes consumed as an energy source and other times they are simply just eradicated for the sake of it. Older cubs and sub-adults have a better chance of being able to escape incoming infanticidal males than younger cubs."
Only problem is Lombanner is more like ...
