    I wouldn't say that, Richardson is going to have a long career and I feel like he might come back someday. He's got unfinished business here. A lot of people still aren't okay with the trade. I don't give a fuck about the stat line. When you bleed orange like Vickers, Cribbs, Richardson, or even old schoolers like Dixon, Kosar or Kevin Mack... once a Brown, always a Brown.

    Football is a game of inches. It's a game of luck and skill. It's a man's game. It's a kids game. It's a physical game. It's a chess match. Sometimes it becomes much more than football. It's about resurrecting a city's passion. It's about rejuvenating belief. It's about leading a charge. It's about standing up and being accountable.

    Fuck what the haters say. Richardson stood up for Cleveland and us Fans. When he spoke about winning and being the best in the national media. He didn't back down to the naysayers. For that he'll always be a Brown. He embraced Cleveland. He started his journey here and it was intended to be for the long haul.... He's got unfinished business is all I'm saying. If he wins several championships before we've ever won our first, I'm sure that he'll come and help us win one before he retires a Brown.

    The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. -Mark Twain- "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain-

      I read the first sentence and stopped.

      No.

      Just let it go. It's over.

      EDIT: okay, I had to read the rest. Jesus Christ, you are delusional. The guy played one full season for us. He was born in Florida, went to school in Alabama. He bleeds about as much orange as Philip Rivers does.

        Man, a stable of Peyton Hillis, Lawrence Vickers, Trent Richardson and Josh Cribbs would have been awesome... and still probably would.

        This team is legit a good QB and a steady running game away from finally turning the proverbial corner. Time to look forward bro, not in the past.

          A week ago three of them were out of the league and the fourth was averaging 3 yards per carry.

          Quite the stable there, Chief.

            he's just going to say we already had one in Colt McCoy.

            how's that stable look...

            McCoy, Vickers, Hillis, Richardson and Cribbs.

            2 of them suck...1 is very average...and the other 2 are decent in a specialist sort of way.

              There's a difference between being a hater and a damn realist PG. I don't hate Richardson- no one here does- at least not in the same way we "hate" seeing Brandon Weeden tossing underhand softball pitches to the other team. We didn't "hate" Josh Cribbs or Colt McCoy either. Us "realists" knew Cribbs had lost several steps, and Colt though he tries hard, didn't have what it takes to be a starter in the NFL.

              OK, you want to explain with TR on a team that features a great qb to take pressure off the running game, Richardson is still averaging only 3.1 ypc? And Bradshaw has almost as many yards on 20 fewer attempts? TR is supposedly healthy now too. We pulled a supposedly washed up Willis McGahee off his couch, and his ypc are only 0.3 less than your superhero- statistically insignificant in my book. Wake up PG- Banner and Lombardi dumped Trent because they surmised (correctly) Richardson doesn't have what it takes to ever live up to his lofty draft status. I freaking TOLD you Trent doesn't have the breakaway gear guys like Peterson and Barry Sanders have\had. His career long to date is 32 yards.

              You have to let your fantasy on this guy go. He's a nice short yardage back, but that's about it. If Richardson wins multiple championships in Indy- it's going to be because of Andrew Luck, not because he's tearing up the league.

                He will always be a Brown who was traded because he didn't perform.

                    I don't understand not picking up Vickers, he's still out there and can be had for nothing. Even if he's lost something he's better than Marecic and has to be better than obgannaya. We need a FB. I need to find that video of him again saying he lays awake at night thinking about smashing guys like Ray Lewis.

                      He was a solid big back with good hands. Love the hurdles too. And can't forget running over the Panther's safety.

                            I hope that if we do add Ben Tate we add a full back, they're such big parts of a good running game. As well as some guards.

                            What happened to Hillis wasn't a tragedy, He refused to prove himself for a contract extension, wanted to stay safe..

                            Losing Vickers was terrible, but fullbacks can be had if you're willing to commit to that style of football.
