PTR So are the people who said the Browns were doomed without T Rich, or that the very integrity of the league was in jeopardy due to such a shameful giveaway by the Browns.

Rubes Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'll be one to admit I thought Cleveland had packed it in and was tanking it this year, with the hope of a brighter future. Looks like they knew exactly what they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Gotta give the Browns credit here. This is looking like a great deal for them. The Colts will survive, but they got fleeced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I never really followed TR. Somebody explain what they think his problem is. IMO, he has not had a good OL in Indy due to injuries and has not been able to overcome that like some elite backs can. He had a better OL in Cleveland but no real passing threat so it surprises me that playing with Luck he has been worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a better OL in Cleveland but no real passing threat so it surprises me that playing with Luck he has been worse. Does he catch well? Or was Luck's vertical game supposed to take the heat of him running straight up? That is interesting, without knowing him, I was wondering if the classic runningback/running game is dead in the NFL. Just too much work and wear and tear in such a big demanding league. Sure a running game still has its advantages... BUT, it is not the cornerstone it used to be. He's a RB from Alabama.

Even Luck is running for his life at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Nice draft, Holmgren. Exactly. They botched that draft. They should have just swung the trade for RGIII. I am glad they didn't. That Cleveland roster with RGIII would have been a bigger obstacle than Indianapolis. The Browns might get a QB this year but there won't be a talent like RGIII. Credit them for fleecing Indy but the decision to draft Richardson was a major failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 http://sports.yahoo....37755--nfl.html Colts are looking more foolish every day. PTR I agree. Trading Hughes to us was a bad decision by them (IMHO, the Bills got the better end of the deal) But the Trent Richardson trade takes the cake. A very good QB can cover up a lot of faults but items like this eventually catch up with the team in the long term, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts will survive, but they got fleeced No one held a gun to the Colts' head. It was a conscious, and in retrospect, a stupid deal. IMO, he has not had a good OL in Indy due to injuries and has not been able to overcome that like some elite backs can. He had a better OL in Cleveland but no real passing threat so it surprises me that playing with Luck he has been worse. Excuses. A 'lesser' RB like Fred Jackson overcome similar conditions to keep trudging on year after year. Also, Adrian Peterson has not had a good QB to help the running game .
