...a RB can contribute more by himself.....ie, given that the OL is common to both positions (and thus irrelevant to the discussion)...

Equating run and pass blocking is as fallacious an argument as I have seen in this forum...

I just wonder how long Benson can stay healthy...hes been around awhile and his window for playing is getting smaller...Id rather they take Blackmon and take a guy like Marton or LaMichael whats his face at 22..... just seems to make sense.

We need a strter through fa. It does not matter if it is an rb, wr, ot, cb, lb. Since there are only limited starter quality draft picks we need to pick and choose in tandem with fa. So benson does make sense. We were ok with hillis as starter. We can expect the same with benson.

I can hear it now, with the 4th pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns select Trent Richardson Rb from The univeristy of Alabama. We may think its to early of a spot to take him, but when he dons that uniform and starts to produce for us, we will not give a rats ass about how early we picked him.

^^^THIS^^^

knowing heckert we might all be in for a surprise.

Im not making an excuse for anything you dumbfuck...your the one who keeps bringing it up...your acting like a bitch on the rag that cant stop till she gets the last word in...shut up and let it go you ignorant bitch....can the Mods do anything about this ungrateful prick?

How about you guys just send messages to each other and not post this. I watch Jersey Shore for my drama fix...

^ in other words...a RB can contribute more by himself.....ie, given that the OL is common to both positions (and thus irrelevant to the discussion), a RB by virtue of teh position can have a greater impact, positively or negatively, than a WR. # of touches and handing the ball off...

a WR's production, in contrast, is heavily dependent on the QB, and his ability to deliver the football. even the best WR will struggle with a QB that struggles. calvin had a few tough years until he got a QB...now he's unstoppable. blackmon may be a nice pick, but there's little doubt who would have a bigger impact of the 2

Choco, so youd pick TR over Blackmon? I'm still struggling to decide. I dont have a doubt that Richardson will have the bigger impact early on. But I guess Im thinking more big picture like 3 years down the road. RBs just scare me off with the injury risks and the body's degradation.. I just dont seeing us consistently competing in the division within the next 2 seasons, sad I know, but I believe realistic. Our past regimes have just screwed us so bad thinking about the short term and not sustainability. For me, the play would be get our "franchise RB" next year or the year after, and work on having WRs now that really know the system and establish chemistry (although I dont expect McCoy to be the franchise QB either)..

OK- we draft Trent Richardson at #4- he had better have a career as good as Ladainian Tomlinson, who was drafted at #5. Anything less is under performing expectations. IMHO Peterson (the most recent high RB pick) won't get to that level due to injuries. Total bust would be Ki-Jana Carter, bust would be Cadillac Williams (#5 overall pick incidentally). Those saying Richardson absolutely can't miss had better re-think things.

Incidentally, Tomlinson has zero Super Bowl rings. You just want a back that can crank out a couple 1,000 yard seasons- you don't need to spend the #4 overall pick on him.

I agree...I mean Joseph Addai has a ring correct?...A back like that is plenty serviceable I think.

He likes that squishy feel they give him. Besides he lives in Naples and the daisy dukes are more palatable than his normal beach wear:

If everyone is being honest with themselves. What is his bust/success line at. What ammount of yardage and td's does he need to get?

So you show how much of a fool you are and your come back is to make fun of the mentally disabled!? Have at least a bit of fucking class. What's next are you going to throw out a racial slur and make fun of someone for their religious beliefs. It's not my fault you are clearly incapable of reading and comprehending what was actually written so you ran your mouth off like a buffoon.

your more dense than I thought...get a life you dumbass

He is getting kind of long in tooth and it's unknown how much juice he has in the tank..

Yea he has a problem with women and substance abuse but who are the Browns to hold out for a potential contributer based on his citizenship skills.

In hindsight they should have got him last year when he was available.

If he has some moves left like Cedric the entertainer I say send the club limo down to the Queen City and bring his outlaw ass to CBS.

@tour2ma said:

Of course you're allowed to not like Cedric...

You are also allowed to cut off your nose to spite your face...

But I wouldn't recommend either...

I like Cedric the Entertainer ... does that count?
