TRICH traded to colts

  • i agree with the old newbie that we have to give every shot available to see if weeden can actually run this team. if he looks good and the losses aren't on him, then why even consider the dreaded 'drafting a franchise QB' next year. and the gamble that it is. we can't be doing this shit every 3 years. that's this teams problem.

    i'd rather finish the defense off with a corner and safety, get the best right guard available and wide receiver(s). picks in no necessary order.

    50+ years and all of a sudden you show up on THE BROWNS BOARD. whatever rip van wrinkle.

    poetic G is not my internet butt buddy and in fact disagree on a lot of things, one of which was TRich. but you can't fault a guy for his love for a team or a player. (might not seem rational to you but seeing as you must be close to 70, since you've been a fan for over 50 years, i'll let that go on the side of dementia).

    and fuck you too.

    obviously you know shit about business, or being a part of a successful company or even an owner. it's all about first impressions and presentation.

    you think kirk herbstreit texts media orgs and uses the word 'dude'? i know a word for you: dope. you should use it. you are not dope but you are one.

    now go get your shine box and fuck yourself twice.

    Seriously other than the post of bullshit you directed at me most of yours seem pretty damn rational. Reread your post and ask yourself honestly how you would have felt if someone you didn't know at all and who knew nothing of you directed it at you.

    You got me. I am 51 so I likely didn't start loving the Browns until around Leroy Kelly time-frame. There are certainly days where I would think maybe dementia is eminent but not quite yet. It still gave you no right or even reason to think I am a recent Browns fan. I respect your trying to defend someone although I still don't understand why. You could however have defended him without unjustly busting my balls and if you are honest

    I know plenty about being professional and maintaining an image when it is necessary. Having said that I have heard the CEO of our company that had sales of $3 billion last year use the word dude at last years global sales meeting. I am reasonably sure when alive Steve Jobs may have said it a time or two as well. Lastly I would admit it was a cheap shot simply because you decided to bust on me tonight.

    PoeticG has every right to not like the trade but the posts have been borderline insane. I have Trich signed rookie cards and jerseys. Shit I wanted him to be great too. He just hasn't been.

    hey i actually agreed with you in another post. i was just defending someone i don't know but do know, you know? it was like watching a guy who's already beat up just getting piled on and kicked in the side. as a human being you want to see the bloodshed stop.

    we were seriously worried that he might blow something up last night or jump off a bridge.

    that being said i hated BOTH the TR and weeden picks. i've been screaming for another corner for 3 years now and the fixing of the right side of the line. that's all i want.

    can god just grant me that one wish before my liver explodes?

    then everyone can go nuts over WRs, Rbs hell even another QB (but i agreed with you in another thread that i think weeds needs to be given every opportunity this year to show that he can play and manage this team on the field).

    so we are not that far apart in our rational.

    on a side note: if you haven't found out by now busting balls is a huge thing here so don't take things too personally. it turns out i'm older than you and yes the leroy kelly era is when i started watching the browns. hell thom darden is from my hometown. so i apologize for the rant and hope you stay around.

    if we ever meet, first round is on me. and the second.

    cheers!

  • Where is truck Stop Jimmy in all of this?????

  • Thanks for looking out for me.

    I just went CrAzY, ya know. Everybody's still alive, I just "feel" dead inside. I'm gonna pull it together, we've got the Vikings in three days... There are a lot of players that are STILL here that need our support. This isn't on the Players, maybe not even on Chudzinski, I don't know...

    The guys that are here I believe will fight for us though. I know they know the Fans are hurting and they will answer the bell. I believe...

  • Mik rarely, if ever, knows what he's saying...but he defends it to the death and that takes a lot of balls.

    I respect him more than most on here, simply because some of the crazy shit he says is actually true.

    For the record, this season our line ranks as worst in the league in sacks, so It's not hard to imagine that the running game is suffering from them.

    But a great back overcomes those flaws and Richardson didn't.

    Listen I agree that the O line has flat out sucked. I am simply saying that rambling on and on about Richardson being elite is flat nonsense. And you cant blame me for being pissed when Mik jumps on and acts like I am new as a Browns fan simply because I have a low post count. It was totally out of line. I hate the fact we suck again. Shit I was convinced this was the year it all changed. I totally feel the pain but I don't need to deal with board elitism.....its comical

    I posted this on another T-Rich thread so it's probably been missed.

    What's your problem? This is a public forum and I've got every right to post here as you. What, you think you have some fucking right to be an asshole because of your fucking 5,000 posts? You can't handle someone having a different point of view than you? The only person that's a dick here is you, You disagree with me, that's fine. Have some fucking class and argue the points, don't toss out insults because your too fucking stupid to argue an idea.


    maybe it's just me. but anyone coming on here and actually salivating over next year after just 2 weeks played this year pisses me off. and in my book makes them a fair weather fan.

    what about this year? answer me that batman? we just bend over and take in the ass again in the 'hopes' that our FO might actually do something right?

    i hope they pick an OL a CB and WR with their first three picks just to see if you show up here again around draft time. then let's see who is bitching then.

    No doubt we need a corner badly and should have signed one of the free agents in the off season. I am really hoping the right side improves when Luavo and Pinkston return. No worries I can rant and rave at time myself as you can see. I'm in 138 - 17 midway the big old guy lol., stop and say hello if you make it to a game

  • Trent's career rushing stats for the Browns is an incredible, unbelievable, Hall of Fame like 62yds per game. Does he go over that this week or under?

    I say Under

    This week it most likely will be under. The more accurate indicator will be the season average and sorry but I think it will be over. Now if he should tear up the league, I would have to say he was mis-managed here. And that would say much about our FO.It works both ways and we really won't know for sure until about Thanksgiving....

  • I know this is an attempt at humor... but seriously, it's way to soon... Fuck it, I'll play along...

    Trent will topple 100 yards. Yes, vs the 49ers.

    He would have had 100 yard games if we weren't resting him for the Colts in the second halves of both games...and on third downs...

  • @osiris said:

    Fair weather fan? Is that a joke? Aside from the fluke 2007 season Cleveland hasn't had 'fair weather' since 2007, and have had a total of three winning seasons since 1990. So, yeah, unless you consider the acid rain of tears spewing from clouds tainted by the factory of sadness to be fair weather, I'm not a fair weather fan. I grew up in Cleveland and despite living in New England, have stuck with the Browns even though I could've easily switched allegiance to the much more recently successful team in my area, the Patriots.

    This year was fucked whether or not we had T. Rich. We weren't going to win more than 8 games, and that's being optimistic. That's what I was hoping for. So now maybe if we're lucky we win six. Are you content with that, or do you want the Browns in the play-offs in two years? Because to do that, we need to stock up on talent, and that's what 10 draft picks, including 2 first rounders, a second round, and two third rounders is going to do for us. The draft class is rich, and Banner has set us up to exploit it.

    Guess what, if they pick OL, CB, and WR, I'll show up hear saying they did what I said they should do, right after picking a QB. Read my original post, QB, WR, RG, CB/WR/RB, that's what I said for their first three rounds of picks. So why would I bitch then? Tell me that, Robin.

    who will be our next franchise QB? (all i know is they better be a pocket passer). so who for argument's sake if you take your read option QBs off the list...who does that leave you with?

    and if they don't work out can we call for banner and lombardi's head and you can disappear?

    As I already stated, I like Teddy Twatwater because he is what Weeden is not: poised in the pocket. If it doesn't work out, you can do whatever you want. You're the only one who has a problem (for no apparent reason) with me, so you can feel free to leave if you can't stand my presence. I'm not going anywhere.

    Wow! I kinda figured he will see limited action this week and need a little time to learn the playbook.But then again, after being an older than dirt Browns fan....he gonna hit the headlines with 250...SSDD

    Makes me wonder what McGahee, as a Veteran RB, will do if have anywhere near these types of holes still.

    Also explains (to me at least) why Hardesty always looked better going through the line than T-Rich.

    Bwah ha ha! Really? You really think Richardson will sniff anywhere close to 100 yards? You do know the colts line sucks, right?

  • They plan to use him as much as he can take... something we never managed to do.

  • Weeden is a god damned bum. A big stupid ginger moron. He'll never, ever, ever get it.he doesn't have seven years like Alex Smith to become acceptable. He'll be 36 by then.

  • I guess he might be ok, since he might have a reception or two from a quarterback who can hit a pass once on a while. Rushing yards alone? Nowhere close to 100

  • 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.

    If thats the case then why the fuck is Lomtardi even here in the first place...Banners butt warmer maybe?

  • Under...

    And as a bonus I'll say McGahee will out gain TR Sunday...
