TRICH traded to colts

I sure as hell hope they know what the F they are doing, Trich was a decent running back.

For the 3rd pick in the draft?? Decent describes maybe your 3rd or 4th back "Great" should describe the 3rd pick especially when you trade up to get him.

After Adrian Peterson (7th, '07), the next 5 leading rushers in NFL last season were drafted 173rd, 12th, 73rd, 31st and Not At All.STFU. nit all of us are 17 years old and can wait another 50 years for the same old 'wait til next year!' bullshit.
let me guess. you want to tank the season so you can grab your fave QB to be annointed king before he's even stepped on the NFL field?
well why don't you start with the Oline and defensive backfield first next year in the draft?
you know the 2 units that cost us the first 2 games this year. not the RBs, not the QB, not the wide receivers.
hopefully banner and lombardi know a little bit more about how to build a team than you do.
You can get a RB from rounds 2-7 to perform just as good, if not better, than Trent has so far. Don't believe me? Ask LeSean McCoy. Ask Arian Foster. Ask Demarco Murray. Ask Bernard Pierce.
Ask Frank Gore. Ask Ahmad Bradshaw. Ask Stevan Ridley. Ask Isaac Redman.
All had higher YPC than Richardson last season, all were taken outside the first two rounds or not even drafted at all.
And if you don't believe them, ask nearly all of the 40 qualified players (100 carries+) that finished with a higher YPC average than Richardson did. Only a select few were first rounders. The rest- middle to late rounders.
If we get a franchise QB and an impact WR/CB/OG in the first round and a RB in rounds 2-4 that gets 900ish yards and a sackful of TD's (pedestrian numbers similar to Richardson's), this trade will be a great success.
But you keep pretending that Richardson was some great talent and that we really screwed ourselves.
Hopefully a Banner and Lombardi know a lot more about building a team than you do.

Who cares after he was drafted if he was the first or the last person drafted, the Draft isn't an exact science(see Chad pennington going before tom brady), he was productive last year in a bad offense with an injury and still got 950yds rushing in his rookie season. The colts imo got a steal.

i keep pretending? did i miss something?
you know me, the guy that wanted a CB with the first pick the last 2 years? the guy that hated the TR and weeden pick and raged on it for weeks? yeah that was me.
i'll take a CB then the 2 best OL next year and jump up and down with joy.
i was the one who brought up jimmy johnson's famous quote "you need to find a RB back? just turn the corner."
i'm just pissed that we got less value for TR and all these little shits now are going to be jerking off to the thought of bridgewater or boyd in a brown's uniform next year and hope we go 0 and 16.
these guys are the same ones that want to change the uniforms and have salt water taffy and cotton candy machines on eveery corner.
you play the game to win.

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...................

You do know the Browns DID have Peterson ....could have snapped him up BANG!!
They took a deep deep breath and Said..."With the 3rd pick of the 2007 draft the CLEVELAND BROWNS select....Adrian Peterson.......NAAAAAA we need a tackle hello #73

who would want to pick a 6x All Pro left tackle over a RB who didn't play a full season in college due to injuries?
-
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.

Read what he said again sport... he said "decent' Decent should not describe the 3rd pick in the draft. You SHOULD hit a Home Run with your 3rd pick. Cleveland did not...they hit a two out double with no one on......nice but meaningless unless the next guy drives him in...Shut up about Tom Brady....He is a once in a lifetime FREEK who has the greatest coach of this generation who fit a program around HIM he didn't try to shoe horn him into a system
He is Gehrig to Bledsoe's Pip
So you think the Colts got a steal and you don't even know who the Browns have selected??? What if the Browns land a future All Pro player and Richardson continues to be average?
See how stupid your knee jerk response was?

Considering how well the Browns have drafted since 99.... and how it seems to always work out for us.... we will draft a Brady Quinn and Richardson will go on to be an All Pro for the next 5 years

You don't take a RB 3rd anyways when you have gigantic H-O-L-E-S all over your team and you don't freekin trade up to get one!! Plug in Chance Womack right now at guard and tell me you don't feel better
...and buttercup, you knew Thomas would be a 6x all pro in his 6th year before the draft right???
Bullshit buddy I know shit from shinola and you're shoveling it with both hands

I knew Thomas would be a 6x pro bowler as much as people knew that Petterson could stay healthy for a full year, hence why he dropped down to 7th in the draft. Every draft pick has its risks and rewards, you shouldn't really be upset that we went with a tackle that has proven to be one of the best in the league(compared to how we usually draft).
-
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."

I was in a good mood this morning. Then I thought I'd check in on the Browns, see if we had news on Rubin and Laovuvoaovo for the weekend. If you had asked me which player we'd traded away, I would have gone through about 50 guesses before getting to Richardson!
Three problems, neither of which are related to not having him on the team next year:
1) Why was this done now, not at the end of the season?
2) Why did we only get a first rounder?
3) Who's going to play RB this season?
I guess next year we're in for Lewis and someone else, RB by committee, presumably some power back. I think that'll work out fine, but it's basically giving up on this season. Still, next April/May is going to be some exciting times!

I'm not upset Christ can't you read????........Richardson was A WASTED PICK!!!! You all KNEW it then You KNOW it now...You had a thin line, 1 corner, so so safeties and you pick a running back? My choice would have been Chance Womack HANDS FREEKIN DOWN and You would not have needed to trade UP to get him....another hole filled with the pick you needed to use to trade up

You can plug in ANYONE to get 3.4 yds/carry....You people thought Hillis was the next Kevin Mack...Running backs are the EASIEST TO REPLACE

I don't have any real problem with the move.
We are obviously setting up to get a QB in the next draft. With all the moaning I have read about both Weeden and Richardson over the last several months, this shouldn't be a move many complain about.
Good move by the front office. Now we just need to hope one of the new guys are capable of running the ball. The kid from Arkansas looked pretty good to me. Sturdy build. Power and speed. SEC background. Why not?
-
I have no problem with the move.
I will get a chuckle out of those who will complain because they bought a Richardson jersey...lol. When are those goofs going to learn to buy a jersey with a legacy name or their own name on the back?
