Between Bradshaw's numbers and general giddyness after drubbing the reigning NFC Champs, it's easy to see how fans may be having second thoughts. But there's a long way to go.

Meanwhile back at the thread...
It was refreshing today to hear a number of analysts recanting any mention of our tanking and general team disfunction.

I'm not going to do what Everybody thinks I'm going to do again tonight.. and Freak out about Trent Richardson, maaan.
...I still kinda am though,
not even trying to lie about it.Do you think we'll get a heavy dose of Richardson chants on Sunday at Browns Stadium? Will there be protests? Will the stands be pretty bare? Just wondering if we will see an impact there or not. It's crazy that it's the BrownsBoard Game of the Year too. I hope you guys represent!

I go to 6 games a year, and always represent, but no, I won't be chanting for Richardson.

49 pages on this thread? Really? That is about as many as on the Hot Cheerleaders. And that has taken years to accumulate.

I combined like 8 threads dealing with this. And if you take out Po G's love letters to T-Rich, it is only really about 23 pages of discussion.

Whatever, the tape speaks for itself.
PG, I was in the middle of a long reply (that blew up when I deleted the wrong tab) but the tape does speak for itself. I don't have time to re do the specifics, but head over to Pro-Football-Reference, look up how Richardson stacks up against the rest of NFL running backs- and it isn't pretty. The only thing he was in top 10 last year is scoring. His YPC and total yards were AVERAGE. We'll wait until the end of the year to see how this turns out- but right now, the Colts just goat a very expensive goal line\ third down back.

Well, spell check misses when you type a real word. Is a goat that goes baaaahhh, baaaah, or is it a sheep? If we got the Colt's goat on that one, we can be pleased.

When the Cleveland Browns drafted Trent Richardson, they did so with an eye toward the past and the future.
Since Cleveland returned to the NFL from its hiatus in 1999, the absence of a franchise quarterback has doomed the Browns. The persistent inability to pound the ball against opponents hasn't helped.
The Browns have chewed up 16 starting quarterbacks in 13 seasons. Most were a disaster, but even the best among them were doomed by a weak-sister running game. The Browns have finished an average of 26th in the NFL in rushing since 1999. That's led to averaging 27th both in total yards and points scored during this dark stretch.
Assuming Richardson's knee heals up, Brandon Weeden has something everyone from Tim Couch to Colt McCoy lacked: A potentially elite back who can keep defenses honest and take the heat off a developing signal-caller.
The roots of Cleveland's West Coast offense conjure images of a precision passing game, but Browns president Mike Holmgren knows that's not the entire story.
In Holmgren's first two trips to the Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in 1996 and 1997, he relied on running backs Edgar Bennett and Dorsey Levens to balance out Brett Favre and the pass. Holmgren returned to the Super Bowl in 2005 with the Seattle Seahawks, but they wouldn't have come close without Shaun Alexander's outrageous 1,880 yards and 27 touchdowns on the ground.
These are the roots behind Cleveland trading up to secure Richardson with the third-overall pick in April's draft.
The Browns are counting on the former Alabama star to give the team some long-lost identity. No player has led the team in rushing more than two seasons in a row since bulldozer Kevin Mack did it between 1990 and 1992. The in-between has been a horror show.
The hope in Cleveland is that Richardson -- who will be featured in our upcoming video series, "Everything to Prove," which debuts Aug. 15 -- will return with a steel-strong knee and a fire in the belly to help alter the balance of the AFC North.

Richardson's steel strong knee is averaging a whopping 3.1 ypc this year. Wow. Lesean McCoy is almost averaging as much yardage PER GAME than Richardson has totaled the entire 2013 season.
There's a reason Haslam fired Holmgren and Heckert- Trent Richardson would be exhibit 1A. Remains to be seen if Weeden is 1B. Obviously Banner, Lombo, and Chudd thought Richardson was expendable- and his career stats back that up.
When you going to get it- you DON'T need to draft a running back high in the first round anymore. Alfred Morris (sixth round) and Arian Foster (UFA) have outperformed the mighty Trent.

Arian Foster... 3.7 YPC

When all is said and done, these teams with great RBs are not winning championships. Most of them are terrible.
RB is a dime a dozen, don't spend big picks position.

PG needs a trip down Memory Lane. Shall we look at the top 5 Running backs of ALL Time +1? That would be Emmit Smith, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin, Ladanian Tomlinson, and Jim Brown. Smith was blessed to have Troy Aikman and Michael Irving along for the ride. The other five? Two rings among them. Soooooo.... the odds are stacked against Richardson, or the far, far superior Adrian Peterson ever winning multiple rings- unless Luck turns into the next Joe Montana, and Reggie Wayne can play at a high level until he's 45.
