TRICH traded to colts

Any Anti-Trent bias that comes from me is a direct result of certain "Browns Fans" who are now claiming to be done as Browns fans as a result of this trade.
You know who you are..

I actually have reversed my "I don't give a shit" attitude!!! It reminds me the years when the Indians had Thome, Manny, Nagy in the minors and traded for Sandy Kenny and Carlos.
I believe this trade will be the foundation or will end this franchise....it's that big...Bigger for Cleveland than the Colts

What would you do if you inherited a 4-12 team and by the new season at 0-2 determined that your QB was nothing special and now badly injured, and your star RB was pretty average, slow to the hole, and often injured? It sounds pretty grim. So make some trades, pick up draft choices and start over. Sounds like a plan.
I would be asking myself why, as a candidate to be a HC for a professional football team, I didn't realize that before I got there.

He was talking owner not coach as the team was 4-12 in Learner's last year and 5-11 under new ownership
Chud inherited a 5-11 team sparky and to get MY shot......I would even coach the CLEVELAND CLOWNS BROWNS

It makes sense from a future standpoint but I wait to see how it's handled. You are telling the current players and fans that this season is lost and it is week 3. Richardson wasn't taking this team to the playoffs but he at least made it more interesting. Now this team is completely talentless on offense.

Ah "The Night Watchman" got off work- So many, many comments coming, took me a bit to wade through the 18 pages. As a season ticket holder, ^+1, I don't believe you weasel Banner, and I'm not buying your BS. You officially threw the season in the tank, mid September. We've sucked since 1999, and you're telling me to hang on for a few more years? So you got maximum value for Richardson- and you want to tell me a washed up Willis McGahee is any better? THIS YEAR?
We just joined in the Bridgewater Bowl. Even if Dumtardi pulls another Joe Montana, Jim Brown & Jerry Rice out of his ass in the 2014 draft, I don't see the rookies taking us to the Super Bowl in 2015- and sorry, I'm running out of years- and patience.
-
Well the Browns just gave up on this season and they expect fans not to do the same? I'd be pissed if I was a season ticket holder.

Well Couple of things
1. Trich Fantasy Value just went thru the roof!!!!!

4. There is another team in Cleveland busting there ass for something, just not allowed to say what team
5. Thank God for Fantasy Football

Dear Tampa, please post all you want to about the INDIANS Apparently, the Browns Front Office doesn't give a shit about how many games they win THIS YEAR.

I WONT GO TO ANOTHER GAME THIS YEAR.
We should all protest this IS BULLSHIT!!!
Have you been to one this year, and if so, did you plan on going to any others.???
I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Right close to the Georgia line.....587 miles from home to my my hotel in Berea. I do 6 games a year.
I am not protesting SHIT! We decided to cut bait and go a different way. I am good with that.
So Mr. Poet.....don't go to games you weren't going to attend anyway, complain all you like. I will still be in in the stands 6 games a year, and yes, that makes me a better fan.
Indeed!

"Peen, it's more of the same old, same old. Sure, Richardson and Weeden have shown to date they weren't worth where they were drafted- problem is- until proven otherwise, Lombardi and Banner have shown nothing to prove that they can do any better.

So, you come out here all the way from out of town, with your money, and you go to 6 games a year, well, who do you think is supporting them while your in Tenessee, it's the fan's here in NE Ohio! The one's that fly the orange and brown banners, this is Browns Town BITCH! who the fuck do you think supports this team during training camp? Were you at Family Fun Night? We were! And now...we wont be...This ain't my Browns, they did US dirty, you don't trade Haden, you don't trade Joe Thomas, and you don't trade Trent Richardson! So I don't give a fuck what the fuck you for now on, but this ain't my team anymore, this is a fucking Pet Cemetery, mistake by the lake, they did Cribbs dirty, Vickers, Winslow, Edwards, the list goes on... Blue Chippers, you don't trade! Fourteen year's ends now! I don't need to commit Suicide, the Browns did it for me.

Please PG, I know you're POED about them trading your hero- but take a look at the guys you just mentioned- 1\2 of them are out of football now.

dude, take a Xanax and chill before you stroke out
i already took mine and a valium. a nice cocktail along with a cocktail.
gonna get numb brothers.
i want to see these mother fuckers beg for the fan support and the 'come out to the game' crap. i knew banner was a rat. and chudzinski looks like a coon hound with a beer gut. all he needs is a straw had and a piece of straw in is mouth. huckleberry. lombardi is just another gooned up wop. haslam doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
can't we get some local blood in the FO or find some majority of biz owners buy haslam out (like the red sox owners did) cuz obviously none of these guys know what it means to be a browns fan and what we've been through to just come out and say "see ya next year!'.
and the circus never leaves cleveland. i can hear the merry go round from here in ny.

Got a nice buzz going on with a bottle of 10 year old port.
"Well, it's all going to be better now that we're doing the Drafting". Yeah, MoFos- SHOW ME.Plenty of booing gonna be going on come Bungle week.

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.

Not so much losing out on value- it's like- losing out on a season- on week #3.

Different Regime.
The current FO can only correct the mistakes of past Regimes, they can't nullify them.
Simple fact is we paid too much for TR (good as he is), I seriously doubt anyone else would have paid what we did for him.
Ya we over paid for him, but why is that used as an excuse to get rid of him? The team is literally saying, here is a player that is worth a mid to late-ish round pick... and we are just going to trade him before week 3. All this move says is that they have given up on the season with 14 games left to play, that they don't give two shits about the fans. Make the damn excuse that you building towards your team goal, but try selling me that shit in the offseason, not two weeks into the regular season. This lay down and die bullshit. Whats even worse is they won't admit it. "Hey season ticket holders, thank for giving us all that money, hopefully these wiener dog races really pan out!"

^+1- Can I get a refund on my tickets, now that you've thrown in the towel? This says they really don't give two shits about this year, and as you say about the season ticket holders. - it's wait until the 2015 season- we're going to be REALLY good. F- you. I've been waiting since 1999 for you to be "Really good."

Happiest team in the NFL the Vikings playing against a team with a third string QB and No Runningback and you know the players are down.
Viking will crush the Browns
42-3

Right. And if we had Weeden and Trich it would make a big difference?

If I may express my opinion as a Colts fan, I think it's a good trade for both teams. Let's face it, the Browns probably weren't going anywhere anyway, and this gives them more ammo in next years draft to get a true franchise QB. If the browns eek out a few wins and finish with the 3rd or 4th pick in the first round, this second 1st round pick can be thrown in to move up. If I were a browns fan, I wouldn't be too upset over this.
Actually, there are a bunch of colts fans who do not like this trade. I am not one of them. I think it will work out for both teams.

The only thing this trade does is guarantee the Browns another top 10, probably top 5 pick- but don't worry we're used to it. OTOH Fox Sports was saying Luck just landed his Edgerrin James, and hate to tell you- he's not. Guy has no burst and breakaway gear & puts on his dancing shoes instead of trying to blast through a tiny hole. He's a very good receiver, high character guy.
But THIS year, the Browns now have absolutely nothing at RB.
-
Can't you idiots see what we're doing here? We use our top 3 pick on our franchise QB then use the Colts pick on a top rated WR. Who can honestly sit here and tell me trading Mr. 3.5 for a top rated WR isnt a good decision. RBs are damn easy to replace. Especially a horrible one.
I was thinking we needed two 1st rounders for a new QB and WR and was thinking how we would go about acquiring it.
Well Banner just let us know how.
Great move.
-
I have seen posts elsewhere where Browns fans are shocked and delighted that we actually got a 1st round pick for Trent.
I've also seen the total shock and despair from this trade.
All I can say, is that out of 17 games he's played for us, I've never seen him break a really long one from scrimmage.
Who's fault is that, OL or Trent ?
I'd say the OL, but I've seen other RB's in similar circumstances break that occasional long one.
Just something to think about.
I never really expected him to break a really long run. He's not really that sort of back, is he?
I just saw Banner on television. He says he completely understands the criticism and skepticism for now. His hope is that it will eventually be proven wrong. I respect and appreciate that he made the statement, but my feeling is that you don't make that statement if you think everyone is on-board with it. So, there is an official acknowledgement that the trade may not look that great from the Browns end.
The idea, then, is "I realize that this looks a little shaky, but just trust me on this, I have an idea." Which is fine, except that I get tired of hearing it year after year. At some point, I'd like people to stop having new ideas and start finding ways to make the team work without starting over from scratch AGAIN (and then failing, AGAIN). I kind of feel like it's a maneuver to buy time instead of prioritizing the improvement of the team. "If I claim that NOTHING was right when I got here, then I can scrap at least one season and claim its not my fault." Instead, I'd like for once for someone to come in and say, "Okay, a lot of this is junk BUT, there's this and that and this... that I think I can work with if I add a few things."

Screw you Banner- us fans are tired of this shit- and you're going to start hearing the chorus in boo flat come the end of September.

I sure as hell hope they know what the F they are doing, Trich was a decent running back.
-
We can get a 3.5 in rounds 2-4.
Lesean McCoy, Alfred Morris, DeMarco Murray, Jamaal Charles, Arian Foster...all taken outside the first round. All have better than a 3.5 YPC. All would be welcomed on this team.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
Anyone here remember the Herschel Walker Trade ?
Ended up having a pretty huge impact for Dallas.
I look at this pretty much the same way, even though it's not as lucrative as that trade was.

what a stupid comparison is that, there were 18 players and 3 1st rounders involved in this trade backt then, numerous 2nd and 3rd rounders as well....you will receive a first rounder in the twenties
-
well maybe banner and lombardi will know enough now not to draft a RB in the top 20 ever again (unless it's a guaranteed AP).
my prob is NOW that weeden is hurt and gordon is coming back...............well, he'll have no chance to show his worth (if there is any) especially with no running game. which means the FO will be 'all in' on finding a NEW franchise QB, meaning all those picks, at least half will be gone in positioning for their coveted players.
i don't trust anyone in this org to make a decent pick, especially on a QB.
fix the Oline, get another starting CB and go from there.
ring around the rosey, pocket full of poseys...................
