TRICH traded to colts

  • 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.

    All never played in this putrid offense.

    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.

    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.

    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 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?

    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???

    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).

  • @harry-buffalo said:

    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?

    Forgot about your question about 1st rounder........WHY? What has Richardson done that you would want more than a 1st rounder? Granted it will be a low 1st rounder but now you have a chance for a bookend tackle ( could have had Kaili in 12) a stud guard (missed on Womack last year) A top Corner or a Steve Atwater (yea I'm old but ask Bernie how Atwater KILLED the Browns) type safety. What Receiver do you think the Opp. fears? Little?? Benjimin? Cooper? Christ Gordon is the only worthwhile receiver and he's one nap at Taco Bell away from a total ban

    I honestly don't see what all the whining is all about this team was AT BEST a 7-9 team....Win a couple pre season games and you all get a wood...christ

    The point is, Richardson for a first rounder is probably about fair value - 31 other teams seem to think so. So why trade for 'fair value' mid way through the season.

    I'm coming round to the trade, I just wish we could have got a bit more. If we end up sucking enough to get a top 3 pick, we get our starting QB, then we use the colts' on a WR. That gives us a 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 4th to get a RB, CB and OG. I'm actually OK with that. My big concern is this season.

  • @browns23 said:

    It stings because he was such a wasted pick and we could have helped the team in another way as opposed to just having a guy for a little over a season.

    In all honesty, where we drafted Trent aside (and the stupid trade that came with it), how often do you get a first round pick for a running back that averages less than 4 yards per carry and can't break 1000 yards rushing in a single 16 game season? I know everyone wants more, but you have to be realistic with his actual production in the NFL. I know he had ten touchdowns, but those weren't really any long runs, mostly just goal line touchdowns.

    It's not that everyone WANTS more, though. You're making it sound like Browns fans WANT more simply because they are Browns fans and everyone always wants more. The TRUTH is that people outside of the situation, with no stake on the Browns side, think that it was an awfully low price for him.

    I can't understand why you think a average back that you OVERPAID for to begin with should be worth more 17 games later when you KNOW he has a history of injuries??

    I think you should feel LUCKY the Browns got a 1st round pick for him...He has led the Browns to a 5-13 record for christ sakes and his touches are those of a backup running back NOT a "stud" back

    Do you really think Colt should have got you a even pick? Quinn a 1st rounder? Weeden a 1st rounder? Come on you need to live in the real world....
