Trent Richardson traded to the Colts

[Gin and Juice]

This trade is gonna make Luck even better! Playoff bound!

Awful move by the Colts, a first round pick for a first round bust RB? Browns superfan sums it up well-http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AFyI98FyaZo

Only watched 20 secs of the vid, got real annoyed real fast.

 

But one thing is certain. It takes some brass balls to pull a move like this if you are the Browns. I mean solid chrome. Think of the implications this has for the franchise and the message it sends about the season. It is going to take some loyal fans to stick around during a season where the FO blatantly tanks the team. They are starting their 3rd string QB for crissakes. I understand both sides of the argument but man, Michael Lombardi's gonna need a semi-truck to carry his cajones.  More power to him.

 

But whether or not it is a good move remains to be seen. If they become a winner, then this could be reminiscent of the Herschel Walker trade. If not well, Lombardi has already been fired by the Browns once...

I can't believe with Stu and Barner hurt we didn't try to get Richardson.  I know we have D-lo but like Hurndog says we need to keep our strenghs strong.

I think this is a good trade for the Browns, now that they have moved to Chud at least.  Chud's offense doesn't need a feature back, it needs a back good at pass protection and catching screens, why waste all your resources on a prototype run first back?
 

One could also ask why waste a 1st round pick on a 29 year old QB who's probably started his last game already, but yeah...

Smart play by the Browns...very strange to type that.

 

Shouldn't have drafted him in the first place, at that position.

 

GM's getting all hot and bothered over RB's makes me laugh.

Could it be that Luck is not that good so they're trying to hide his deficiencies? The 1st game he threw for only 178 yards on 23 attempts with a high completion rate, the 2nd when they put the ball in his hand he threw for 329 on 43 attempts but complete less than 60% of his passes(as usual). Then come this blockbuster trade where they give up their 1st rounder for a running back. Looks like they're trying to take the ball out of Luck's hand by featuring the running game. Might I add, they have a very good group of WRs. So they're saying Luck can't find ways to put the ball in his receivers' hand accurately without the help of an elite RB? ummmm!! Interesting! I knew that dude wasn't that good.

 

Ladies and gentleman, Luck is a game manager. The more attempts the more erratic he becomes the more his completion percentage dives. We'll see his true color next year.

No.

I dont know what you have against Luck but he isnt a game manager, and Richardson isn't elite.  

 

Rookie QB who puts his team on his back, and leads a 2-14 team to the playoffs is not a game manager

 

Rookie RB  who doesnt post 1000 yards rushing or even a 4.0 ypc is not an elite running back.

Wha... No. Just no.

They are just giving their O another weapon. How effective it is remains to be seen.

Whatever you say he is valued as a 1st rounder. That says more than the crappy stats you're spewing. My thing with Luck is they try to hype him in the media by showing only his highlights even when his team loses. The dude throw passes just like everyone else and they're trying sell me he is something spectacular. He is Lucky he has receivers like Wayne to catch all his badly thrown balls.

Still no proof that Luck is a game manger.  Game managers like Dilfer didn't get highlights because there were not any.

 

Luck does throw passes just like everyone...he uses his arm, he just does it at a better than game manager level.  

 

Receivers like Wayne.  Receivers is plural.  Hilton should and probably will be really good but he hasnt been like Wayne yet. The tight ends are somewhere in the 10-20 range, and Fleener might not deserve that.  Nothing spectacular here, nothing horrendously bad.
