    Either way, it's better than the 6+ page soap opera that is all about a practice squad, er back up player's off the field shenanigans.

    He said he wants 1000 yards in 11 games. Hopefully he does get major yardage. Our running games needs help.

    Here's a football story

    Jim Harbaugh, gets a head coaching job, then quits, and quits and quits, and quits, and finally quits enough to get his dream job and then loses one of the top 5 worst finishes EVER

    And then after all that, he leaves for Indy, for his good buddy Andrew. And finds out Andrew is damaged goods. And then quits again.

    I'm sick of off the field Kardashian like stuff, so here is a football story, and I like Robert's mentality that's for sure:

    http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/10/17/9560049/robert-turbin-cleveland-browns-1000-yards

    Robert Turbin wants to be the Browns' most productive running back since Jim Brown

    Cleveland Browns running back Robert Turbin tallied fewer than 1,000 yards in his three seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, but thinks he can reach the mark in the remainder of the 2015 season despite an ankle injury that has kept him on the sideline.
    Turbin, 25, was claimed on waivers by the Browns in September, but hasn't yet made his debut. He's listed as questionable for a Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos, but expects to play and expects to make a big impact for the Browns once he's in the lineup.
    While neither Isaiah Crowell nor Duke Johnson have been able to manage more than four yards per carry or even 50 yards per game, Turbin thinks he'll play far beyond that level. Via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
    "I'm aiming for 1,000 yards," Turbin told Northeast Ohio Media Group.
    But with only 11 games left? That's over 90 yards a game.
    "Why not?" he said. "It's been done. It's good to have goals. Why not me?"
    The Browns gave Turbin the roster spot that was being held by Terrelle Pryor in September and may ask a lot of him if he's the lineup, while Crowell is dealing with a toe injury that has him also listed as questionable.
    In Seattle, Turbin's touches were limited. A fourth-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Turbin picked up 354 yards on 80 attempts, but didn't best those marks in either of his next two seasons. His career 4.0 yards per carry wasn't enough to keep a roster spot after the Seahawks elected to sign Fred Jackson.
    The Browns haven't had a 1,000-yard rusher since Peyton Hillis managed to tally 1,177 yards in 2010 and earned him a spot on the cover of Madden. Jim Brown is the only Cleveland running back to ever average more than 90 rushing yards per game in a season for the Browns, though. Brown averaged more than 100 yards rushing per game in seven different seasons with the Browns.

    So all the talk about the front office and coaching staff watching Turbin for a long time and finally getting the chance to bring him in because they really liking how he plays and approaches the game was complete BS. OR Farmer never wanted him in the first place. OR its just another piece of evidence showing that they can't evaluate talent..... ugh.

    It honestly doesn't bother me that much, its not like he was a high draft pick or something... but you bring a guy in, wait on him for 4 weeks because of his ankle, play him two games and cut him based on a few fumbles after you tell everybody how much you like him as a player....
