TRICH traded to colts

You have to have a good line no doubt, but you have to have a great QB to win games. They compliment each other obviously. A great QB equates to a better running game. We need to shore up the right side. But I would never waste a 1st or second round pick on the OL.

The 49ers spent one year of the draft picking two olinemen in the 1st round and it worked out great for them.

Who was the QB?

Yep Bungles and Ratbirds both won.

His problem is that he isn't very good. He simply benefitted from playing behind a stellar offensive line at Alabama.
You mean to tell me that Alabama has just happened to have three fantastic RB's right after another? It's highly unlikely.
Mark Ingram was supposed to be the next great RB. First round draft pick, never had more than 700 yards in a season. His last year at Bama, everybody was saying how his backup, Richardson, was supposed to be better than him.
Enter Richardson. First round draft pick. 3.0 YPC in the NFL. His last year at Bama, everybody was saying that his backup, Lacy, was supposed to be better than him.
Enter Lacy. Coming into today he had 15 attempts for 50 yards and a TD through 2 games. We'll see how he does but he's been the most successful so far, in my opinion.
Everybody said "Richardson just needs a QB, then he'll light it up". Ingram and Lacy have two of the best QB's in the NFL, hasn't really done much for them.
Add to that the fact that Bama had three of their linemen taken in the first two rounds. Two in the top 15.
and everyone complains about picking OL.
any SMART football fan knows the lines on both sides of the ball are the cornerstone of a winning football franchise. if you dominate on the DL side stuff the run and put pressure on the QB most likely you'll keep the other team from scoring a lot of points.
on the other side of the ball you could have trent fucking dilfer be a super bowl champion QB if he has time to operate and a pro bowl back that you just hired from stop n shop.

The problem is that we have two first rounders, two second rounders, and a third rounder on our line.
Yes, the offensive line is crucial. But you don't have five first rounders. The only positions you need to address in the first round are center and blindside tackle. The talent drop off for the other positions is small enough that you can get a solid guard in the middle rounds. Same for your other tackle.
We don't need to address the guard position early in the draft. We need to have the same linemen start at the same position for more than two weeks in a row. The positions along the offensive line are the positions where you need the most consistency and most repetitions in order to play well.
Sure, you can find a plug and play guard here and there, but you can't find two plug and play guards and then switch them back and forth every couple of weeks.

What some of us knew, but most of us refused to believe, is now becoming common knowledge. It's been a long time since the media talked positive about the Browns FO. Time for all of us to get on board and give credit where credit is due.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/trent-richardson-trade-shocked-nfl-210720546.html
In one of the most shocking in-season NFL trades in recent history, the Cleveland Browns traded Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts for a 1st-round draft pick three weeks ago.
The NFL world took it as a sign the Browns were tanking, throwing away the season after a 0-2 start and trying to stockpile future assets.
While it was hard to stomach for Browns fans, the logic made sense.
But no one considered another possibility.... maybe the Browns just didn't think Richardson was any good.
Everyone's analyzing this trade under the assumption that Richardson is super talented (he was taken 3rd-overall in 2012, after all). But is he really?
There's a mounting pile of evidence suggesting that Richardson is an average-at-best player. And if that's the case (which it appears to be), this is an absolute steal and genius trade by the Browns.
Last year Richardson averaged 3.6 yards per carry (40th in the NFL) and only had two runs of 20 yards or more.
It wasn't his line's fault either. According to the advanced football stat site ProFootballFocus, the Browns had the 11th best running blocking line in the league last year, and the 5th best line overall. His back-up last year, Montario Hardesty, averaged 4.2 yards per carry behind the same line, which would have ranked 21st in the league.
So far for the Colts he has 51 carries for 151 yards (2.9 yards per carry) and zero runs of 20 yards or more. The four other Colts players who have at least 10 rushing attempts are all averaging 4.5 yards per carry or more.
Those are the statistics of a below-replacement level running back. And the Browns, who've become incredibly compelling since the trade, got a 1st-round pick for him.

I was shocked that Indy gave us a first for him. His body of work speaks for itself, he's a mediocre back. He's a goal line running back.
is that worth a first round pick? I say no. I say no RB is worth a 1st in todays NFL.
wish the best for him after this year. We need Indy to start losing for a better draft pick. But after that, good luck to him. He wasn't a bad person, just not a great RB like most thought he would be.

Average response:
Yeah yeah
I totally thought he was bad.
I always knew it was a good trade
I always knew it
I hated the draft pick originally
... don't go look at my old posts... nothing to see...

too bad Indy will go to at least the AFC championship game and we will end up with a 28-30th pick.

i never said we had to pick an OL first second or third. but if you want the best (just like shep says for QB) you make moves to ensure you get your guy.
i'm tired of this injury prone weak right side of the line that is NOT consistent for the reasons you mentioned above. get one of the best OL to play RG through FA or draft and it will help out this team tremendously. no matter who the QB or RB(s) are.
BTW: TR had better #'s today than lesean mccoy and 2 of the top five rushers today were QBs.

Trent Richardson..
18 caries for a whopping 56 yds today
Does anyone really miss him?...
no.
but when do we get to stop hearing the questions. who cares? yeah it looks like we got the betterend of the deal. he was not worth the 3rd pick. blah.blah.blah
now you're kicking a dead horse.
btw: he did better than lesean mccoy vs. the gints who are a whopping 0 and 5.

I wanted Warmack last year but I knew we were drafting too high for him. I believe they "hit" on Mingo so I could care less but I think I've read a couple articles where he is looking good.

The reason I brought up their draft position is to show that we should have the talent on the line. They just need to play at the same positions in order to establish some consistency.
Our line grades out top 15 in run blocking and top
10 in pass blocking last season and we haven't lost any members of the starting five.
If we can't get a healthy RG out of the three capable guards we have, I say we look for a good veteran FA.

This is an article from the press, no one is "kicking a dead horse". It's refreshing to hear some positive things about our FO, at least it is to me.

I'm no TR sympathizer but he has only been with the colts for two and a half weeks. It's a great trade for us but all I'm saying I'm going to hold off judgement till the end of the season. So far he's been ordinary that's for sure.

C'mon man now you're splitting hairs. You just said he had a better day which he didn't. I thought we still counted recieving yards. Regardless I'm done with the Tritch talk. For fuck sakes chill out.
