TRICH traded to colts

  • 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.

    🙁

    True... I'd forgotten how steep a price they paid for the #2 overall.

    Wow is Washington royally fucked.

    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...

    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?

    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???

    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...?

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

    Find a new drum... please..

  • 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.

    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.

  • They're fucking pros. It's a business and if they put shit on tape, they won't get paid in Cleveland or anywhere else. Pull your skirt up.

    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?

  • Is it time to show how powerful we as Browns Fans truly are. For crying out loud... We put Peyton fucking Hillis on the Cover of MADDEN.

    ... If we really wanted to; we could MAKE them bring Trent home.... we probably should.

  • They're fucking pros. It's a business and if they put shit on tape, they won't get paid in Cleveland or anywhere else. Pull your skirt up.

    ok D. and you wonder why no one wants to play in cleveland? yep, let me move from the sunny beaches of san diego play for a hick truck stop thief and his rat FO, or maybe i can go to a franchise THAT ACTUALLY WON'T TRADE ME AWAY AFTER TEN GAMES and has an actual chance of winning something while i still have legs?

    if it was only about being pros............................................

    keep dreaming. i know i do, that some day we will have a winner on the field.

    i'm pretty sure i'll be sucking oxygen out of a tank and asking for morphine every hour before that happens.

    I've seen no evidence... none... that supports what you said...

    Just read this article http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2013/09/cleveland_browns_dqwell_jackso_4.html and it would appear the opposite is true...

    For example:

    Jackson said Sunday's game in Minnesota will be gut-check time.

    "This is the week to go out and show the character of the guys in this locker room,'' he said. "The ship is still sailing.''

    Doesn't read like a locker room ready to mail it in to me...

    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??

    Pretty sure the CBA prohibits the "other teams" from taking those calls...

    Jackson, who's completely bought into coach Rob Chudzinski's program, said the team is still focused on winning this season.

    Jackson, who's been here for eight seasons, understands the fans' frustration with the trade.

    But he completed rejected the notion the club is tanking the season.

    "That's not even realistic,'' he said. "In this business there is too much pressure on everyone to win let alone to put it all on one guy. I can't even fathom that.''

    Your hair's on fire... put it out and chill...

  • They would do this during an away game as well, just so we couldn't do anything about it. Just like they did Paul Brown. When is enough, enough? We should strike, and get our Running Back back.

    What would it cost? Would the Commish have to make an executive order? Rescind the trade... Then what would happen in Cleveland, would they play him? My head hurts...

    Really, Cleveland should do something. This is unprecedented. It's nothing like taking the team from us, but it's still shiesty as fuck.

    One, the link did not work...

    Two, I don't want him back, so you are at least one shy of everybody.

    lol I hear you, I'll be on a tank too. I am biased in that I hated, and that word isn't strong enough, the 2012 1st round picks and getting anything back in return for Trent other than a 12 pack of Coke and a model airplane gives me hope for the future......After all, I'm a Browns fan, what else do I have but hope?

  • sorry G. that chapter with this franchise is over. i agree with your pain and think things could have been done differently to not affect the fans and the players like this FO has done. cheezy man, real cheezy. like i said in another post, the players know they have mailed in the season so expect them to play like it. players will get injured, there will be locker room brawls....this basically just blew up the whole team mate thinking of this squad. don't be surprised when players contracts are up that they don't even sniff at a browns' offer.

    on a lighter note: you gotta PM me about what i asked you about last night before the box leaves the door tomorrow AM.

    startin to get on my shitty side. don't want that.

  • Thanks, mik... and I yours. But just as I can get irrational about certain topics, so too can you.

    I was shocked when I saw the news of the trade, but after about five seconds I got better.

    Week 1 TR missed 5 holes and failed to pick up 2 blitzes.

    I spent some time this afternoon breaking down the Ravens' game. Through the 1st quarter I already saw three holes TR missed.

    That is not a #1 pick's performance. The FO knows it. I think Indy is about to find it out.

    We'll know before too long who is right....

  • Good God, Po, walk away from the computer.

    Let's see how our run game works without your hero and how that draft pick works out.

    We were 5-13 with 3.5 ypc with Trich.
