    Hillis has had strept throat one game, a tweaked hammy in Another, and a confused awful offensive gameplan against Cincy. He hasn't had much game time to produce this season. If he's 100 percent these first five games, we may have seen that even with a shitty o line hillis can still make plays and be a difference in this lackluster offensive attack.

    I know you love this team and players (for some reason) but it's time to take the Brown and Orange colored glasses off. McCoy and Hillis have not been good at all this season. Whether it's from new offense, bad o line, or whatever, they have not been good. Ifs buts and candy nut sacks, they have sucked thus far.

    Hillis is wanting too much money and hasn't shown that he should be paid what he wants. Walrus was saying talks have been slow and they're not there yet. This guy has been through 3 agents and we all know he wants more money. But he doesn't deserve it yet.

    I used to think he was a down to earth guy who just loved being able to be paid to play football and praise god. But the more this story starts to develop and unfold, the less I believe he's so down to earth now.

    I have been disappointed with hillis and his contract issues usf. I think the right thing to do is to wait til the end of this year and see how he performs healthy. It sucks that right when we have a light at the end of the tunnel last year, this year we notice the lights really are just on the front of a train and it's speeding toward us. Typical Cleveland "breakout" players, only to be traded the next year

    You thinkHardesty is overrated or should he be used more?

    Hardesty is still a "rookie" and even if he can't catch, he has decent size and has a good stride to his run. He needs to adapt to the speed of the game. We still can't make assumptions this early

    Hardesty has been good when Hillis is tired. At least when I'm playing Madden.

    If you don't have a legitimate passing attack, they'll stack the box and limit Hillis. That is all.

    FYI:

    1. Last 8 games Hillis has averaged a paltry 53 ypg rushing.

    2. After you add, multiply and subtract this equates to a 3.8 yards per run (113 total carries last 8 games as Brown)

    3. In 2010 Hillis fumbled the rock 8 times

    4. I can forgive his fumbleitis considering he did have 61 receptions for almost 500 yards last year

    5. Durabiility issues have followed his career. He has had hamstring problems before.

    6. Off the subject...Mickey Mantle would have been 80 years old today. Pay homage.

    These pedestrian stats certainly don't equate to upper tier running back salary considerations. IMO, he needs to get healthy, keep his cake hole shut and just play effin ball. The Browns have zero

    wiggle room for distractions at this point.

    reality is a bitch
