  • I know what you mean about the years part. A midnight run to the emergency room a couple of weeks back was a firm reminder that life does end and it doesn't follow a schedule that we might not like.

    If anybody is worried, no real worries at this point.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • "We're gearing up for a big roster overhaul, I believe."

    I think anyone who has been here more than 1 year is vulnerable, including Thomas and Haden, and maybe they should clean house.

    ^+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've been waiting since '64..... pay your dues take out your tampon and man up .......let me know what you want for your tickets crybaby

    Got you beat there pal- I go back to 1957 and the Ernie Davis tragedy. Got in on my pals seniority back in 1999- 31 years worth and counting. StubHub says my tickets sell for an average of $175- still interested? If you guys want to rag on me for being pissed about the high probability of yet another wasted season, I'm asking top dollar for my section $250 per.

    Edit: may I quote USA Today? “If you’re a Browns season ticket holder this morning, the idea of heading to the stadium seven more times this year to watch Brian Hoyer and the decaying carcass of Willis McGahee lead your offense can’t be at all appealing.”

    @waiting-for-next-year said:

    Let me know if you want 50% face value for 2 tickets to 2 games.......It's called entertainment

    Yeah- real entertaining watching another loss, more like a nightmare horror show. Hi guys- it's just like the movie Groundhog Day. I don't call that entertainment- especially since I have to drive 220 miles to watch it.

    @waiting-for-next-year said:

    I'll give you half face for 2 to your choice of 2 games....big enough "refund" for you?? Put up or shut up buttercup

    It would be more fun to just let the empty seat show up- and watch the game at home on Sunday Ticket. Saves me seven hours of weekend driving. That's the kind of "statement" I just might make. Plus I have relatives in Cleveland I'll give the tickets to, depending on how the season unfolds.

    That trade was made 5 months before this one and there has been no mention of any conditions. So I'd say no.

    OK, well is it even possible to do something like that. To make the outcome of one trade conditional as part of another. To basically amend the trade as Trent and a 5th for a 1st and conditional 4th... It doesnt look like anything like this is going come out as part of the details at this point, but was wondering if 2 trades that occurred at separate times, could essentially become one and the same.

  • I'm sure it could, we could just put their 4th back in the trade and add a conditional pick to our end. But thts not the case.

  • I know a lot of you are angry about this, but RBs are a dime a dozen, and Trich, to be honest wasnt looking that great.

    You guys did the right thing. Load up on picks so next year you can win the Bridgewater Bowl.

    Or, if Jax gets the #1 pick, youll be able to score a QB and another good player. Itd be pretty crazy if you guys sayt got like the #2 pick and the #15 pick.

    Lets say JAgs have the #1 pick, then Clowney drops to you guys at #2, or even Maquis Lee in a later pick, and then with your 2nd #1 pick, snag up Boyd, Manziel, kid from UCLA, etc

    Either way you can snag a QB and an amazing playmaker during that time. Get an RB in a later round.

  • Everyone keeps saying that RBs are a dime a dozen.

    Then how come we don't have one? We don't have a dime?

    We don't have one NFL carry on our tailback depth chart and we play a league game in three days.

  • This was our RB Depth Chart before the Summer. Some fans were complaining that we signed too many running backs, and speculating on who would get cut:

    Richardson

    Lewis

    Hardesty

    OblongBanna

    Jackson

    Well, it's mid-September and only one of them is on the roster .. and he is now a fullback.

    What happened to Dion Lewis?

    That kid could have been the next Shady McCoy. If hes still there, he would have played better than Trich.

    He's on IR. As is Hardesty. Cut Brandon Jackson. Traded Trent Richardson.

    Bobby Rainey is the depth chart at tailback right now.

  • Broke his leg. Hell be back and I do believe he's better than Richardson

    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...

    Don't worry Willis McGahee is on the way to save the day. Banner didn't say it- but we're tanking for Teddy".

  • wonder if norv can persuade a certain LT to come back?

  • There is bad news,worse news, and worst news about this trade:

    1.You get at low first round pick from a team DESPERATE for a running back.The

    Browns should have raped the Colts on this deal.

    2,Who knows if there is even a franchise QB in next years draft?

    3. And the WORST news is Mike Lombardi is your GM. Here is a guy

    who is such an embarrassment that he wasn't even allowed to

    show up at the press conference announcing the trade. The man is

    the GM and is not even permitted to show up at the presser? ( Yeah I know

    Banner's reasons for hiding him.) As posted earlier in this post,look

    at his draft record.

    BTW I am not against this trade. It's just that I thought the Browns should

    have gotten more in return and I simply don't think Lombardi knows

    football.

  • The only reason I can see Hoyer getting the start is this:

    In 2001, the New England Patriots started off 0-2 after a depressing 5-11 season the year before. Their 30 year old QB, Drew Bledsoe, injured himself in the fourth quarter of an inter divisional game, and a relatively unheralded QB from a Michigan university then supplanted him as starting QB the next week against a Midwestern team. Brady had two wholly unspectacular performances as a starter before becoming what he is today.

    In 2013, the Cleveland Browns started off 0-2 after a depressing 5-11 season the year before. Their 30 year old QB, Brandon Weeden, injured himself in the fourth quarter of an inter divisional game, and a relatively unheralded QB from a Michigan university will supplant him as starter next week against a Midwestern team.

    That's literally the only reason why this makes sense to me.

    After looking at this, I'm starting to think maybe our Run Blocking isn't so bad - look at the size of some of those holes opened (the last one you could drive a truck through).

    I'm just trying to figure out the reason behind it.

    I still hate the move and it think Hoyer is garbage.

    What I said before has to be the reason behind it, there's no other explanation.

  • Lombardi is not our primary drafter... Joe Banner is, along with guys like Ray Farmer, John Sandusky, and Ken Kovash. Also, veteran coaches such as Norv Turner and Ray Horton. Our player personnel department is filled with quality guys, including a mix of "football guys" and "analytics" guys. I would imagine Banner pulled the trigger on this trade b/c he is smart enough to realize TRich is not worth a 1st round pick, and we may have gotten a steal.

    Don't forget, while us fans have to go through this "rebuilding" sh** again and again, this is theses guys' first season. They are trully trying to re-build, and I believe they are trying to do it correctly, and quickly.

    Great stuff Hey Trent- ya know how the play was designed- that's pretty damning evidence your dancing got you into trouble.
