TRICH traded to colts

Agree he was not a "bum"... but how some think our win total this season dropped when he was traded mystifies me.

Our win total drops for the foreseeable future. Trent was our strongest weapon. Our Strongest.
What doesn't everyone get. He is a vessel... a damn fine specimen, used however the situation presents itself, a rare talent.
If this FO doesn't recognize Potential RIGHT IN FRONT OF THERE FACE how can I trust them to draft it a year from now...?

We have a RB. Dion Lewis will be a true NFL caliber RB next year.....Mark it down. And by "NFL caliber", I don't mean Trent and his 62yds per game.
Pittsburgh, the Ravens and Cincy all stated that their main concern was stopping Richardson. He made them uneasy. He's a playmaker, a weapon. They are glad he's gone... that is all.

What exactly did YOU see in the 17 games Trent played for us that makes YOU think that "He is a vessel... a damn fine specimen, used however the situation presents itself, a rare talent." Was is the 3yds per carry? Was it the unbelievably awful 62yds per game? Was it him being taken off the field on every single 3rd down because he can't block? Was it him constantly being injured? Tell me, what did YOU see? NOT what have you been told by the draft pundits on just how great he is. NOT from the fact that a desperate FO over reached for both Trent and Weeden in the draft, and NOT because of the picture of Trent wearing nothing but a jock strap that hangs over your bed.
Again, tell me what YOU saw in 17 games, and what I seemed to have missed in those 17 games.

I also believe they never planned to let Weeden start this year. The plan was to let Hoyer start all along. Two things can happen. Hoyer plays good and they decide they dont need to draft a franchise qb next year. Which makes the TRich trade pointless, or Hoyer is bad and they have to backtrack and name Weeden the starter again.

see, that's my next question.
it's been all over espn that weeden's thumb injury is nothing more than a bruise, so what happens next sunday (TAILGATE BLOWOUT!!) vs. the bengals at home?
if THEY don't give weeden the nod then we know he's gone, which goes against everything banner said yesterday quote "who's to know we don't have our franchise QB on our roster now?" which sounded to me like he was going to give every chance to weeden to prove himself this year. i mean if hoyer can't beat out campbell or weeden then why start him for the rest of the year?
in which there is a simple answer. if we don't see weeden start vs. the bengals then you know the FO has him on the chopping block. plain and simple.
this is almost unprecedented in NFL history (gipper?) that the purging of a previous FO system and picks will have been traded, dumped and fucked within the first quarter of an NFL season.
either they really 'think' they know what they're doing (lordy pleez) or they will come out looking like holmgren just shat his krispy kremes all over their faces with that brown fudge feces.
it's tricky. it's tricky tricky tricky.

You are obviously stupid if you think I'm a troll.
You choose to listen to Mel Fuckin Kiper tell you how great he is, but when one of the greatest RBs to EVER play the game, and who just happens to be a Cleveland Brown, calls him "ordinary", and "nothing special" you suddenly choose not to listen.
You say that Trent didn't have a lot of holes to run through because defenses always keyed on him with 8-9 man fronts as the excuse for his PATHETIC 3.1yds per carry and 62yds per game averages over 17 games.......Well what about fucking Maurice Jones Drew???? He had the EXACT same issue and consistently averaged close to 5yds per carry and was always in the top 5 of the NFL in total rushing yds.
Oh I'm sure you'll come up with some panzy excuse like calling me a troll, or blaming the wind or the grass, but those are facts I gave you and you can't hide from facts under your Trent Fat Head poster.

well if you have listened to a couple of pro bowlers (you know.....winners) and their analysis of the trade, what PoG said is exactly correct.
out of the four teams in the division who had the best running back to be great for years to come (no ray rice will be gone in 2 years)?
exactly. easy enough for everybody?
when he rushes for more than a 1k a year with the colts you can all eat shit.
now i'm not saying i love TR BUT i think if anyone made out on the deal it's the colts. i'd put my money on irsay anyday over banner and lombardi.
sitting behind banner and lombardi and the roulette table and following their lead will make you choke on an olive every bet.
bet.

They are trying to fix the problem created by the previous FO. Trent was over drafted at 3 and so was Weeden. They are trying to cut their losses, and if after watching Trent run for us for 17 games and you came away impressed, then I guess we have two entirely different definitions of an elite NFL RB.

After finding that Blocking analysis I linked, I want to see how McGahee does.
Hate to say it, but with Gordon, Luavao, and Rubin back and Hoyer at QB, I'm starting to think we win this Sunday.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU ARE FUCKING HILARIOUS! (well maybe....ponder>hoyer or hoyer>ponder? that is the ? that will be answered this sunday). my concern is that everyone in the locker room after hearing the news has just given up and are basically gonna fist fuck banner and lombardi the rest of the season.
and dickbone why do you still have to pound the kid? i hope he goes on to become a probowler and rushe for over 1k a year, that way all you fat fucking holmgren lovers who now turned on him can go spin around in circles cuz you don't know which way is up.
hopefully things work out for the browns. but like i said in another thread: betting on banner and lombardi is like betting on the crippled 3 legged longshot at the kentucky derby.

I just heard that press conference with Chud.... he says that he was in all the talks... didn't they say that the first conversation was like the DAY before. Ugh..
I really hope Chudzinski is a liar and a coward, as opposed to a dimwit unable to see the skills of Richardson... as bad as that sounds... and God, that sounds baaad.

No, they still have their QB,... We'll have blown just as much if not more before it's through and We'll still need a QB and a RB.
You actually think RG3 is the same QB that played last year? Damaged goods my friend...

You start Hoyer against Cinci unless he plays as bad as Weeden did in our 2012 opener. With two starts a piece and Wheezy fully rested and healed then you see who has earned the job.
There's no reason to stick with Hoyer. Only a quantum leap in Wheezy's performance is going to yield anything market value-wise... and that can only happen if he plays.

Yes, but what Banner said was that Chud was kept apprised of the talks and was involved in the decision.
Is there a problem I don't see???

Yes Po... we get it. Only you could see the true value of a RB who missed holes Mr. Magoo could see...

well it's not up to me or you my friend. all i know is after hearing all the bullshit come raining down after the trade that the FO has definitely lost the respect of this team. bang. bingo. i'm not talking 3rd string guys. i'm talking joe thomas. CAN U HEAR ME NOW??
everyone knows they just mailed in the season with a return to sender stamp on it. it's going to get ugly. i'm no huge TR fan. i didn't like either pick (TR and weeds) but that's ALL WE HAD!!!! this year. get it? the players sure seem to. i wouldn't be surprised if thomas haden and mack already have their agents calling other teams. you know, the players that are/were the face of this franchise??
all you dumbfucks think about with this trade is how, maybe in 3 years we might be one step ahead of what we were this year.
BUT
what you forget to think about is how isolated the palyers now feel from the FO. and as i said it's going to get ugly. like "fuck it i ain't blocking for this hoyer chump. release the kracken. dudes are already planning their vacations in the bahamas come december.
and haslam just sits there. fuckin beef jerky hick.

i respect your opinion over a lot on this board.
how can you NOT be just a little questionable, a little uneasy as to what just happened? when the national media blows this up for 2 days you know there is something that either is great or disturbing. i rest my laurels on the latter.
irsay drafted who? lombardi and banner drafted who?
yeah i'm PUMPED to see what happens next april. until then i'll watch hoyer get destroyed right next to a tv showing geno smith getting destroyed.
and everyone will be screaming QB QB QB!!!!
we will never win.
what a bunch of football geniuses we got on this board.

There are some very valid points in there...
If everybody protested the browns for trading trent.... Would they bring him back? Has it ever happened before? Is it time?
