[quote=Chico23231;1026850]I dont think the Brown made a mistake at all. The guy honestly hasnt done sh*t to justify his draft position. His yard per carry is sux behind an oline which really isnt that bad. Like I said before, Norv and Chud are not trading a difference maker if they thought he was an all pro. They dont believe in him and those guys know great RB.[/quote]

That is exactly right. I grade this trade as a win for Cleveland. Trent Richardson was not drafted by the new/current GM, Coach and offensive coordinator. Plus he is proving to be injury prone.
In Alabama Richardson ran behind one of the most physical offensive lines that had a distinct advantage over most of its opponents. Most of the Alabama RB's ran well behiind that line.
Richardson does not have that advantage in the NFL and it shows. If I could get a 1st rounder (to go with my other 1st) for Trent Richardson I would send him packing in a heart beat. Next years draft has some good QB's and that is Cleveland's biggest need right now.

I'm listening to Holden and Danny for maybe 5 minutes and they had Pierre Garçon on.

(One of those two): Pierre, what makes Calvin Johnson different from other WRs in the NFL?

Pierre:....um let's see, he's 6'5 runs like a 4.2 has a 45 inch vertical and catches everything....

(Same guy who asked that question):...yeah I guess that was a dumb question.


:doh:

That's like asking what makes Peyton manning different from Tim tebow.

[quote=KI Skins Fan;1026842]Who says it's a fire sale? The current Browns executives are obviously trying to position themselves to trade up in the next draft for a player who they hope will become their Franchise QB. That's what the previous Browns executives should have done when they had the chance to get RGIII.[/quote]

Actually, I don't see it that way. I honestly think they're trying to play competitive football, but I think they're fine if they win two games and have the number overall pick.

Actually no because Tebow has more physical gifts then Manning.

I agree just saying it was a bad analogy.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Detroit Lions Pregame Thread
 

[quote=punch it in;1026846]Norv loves power backs though. [/quote]

He does?

LaDainian Tomlinson - Nope
Emmitt Smith - Nope


More versatile backs do well in Turner's system. Now Joe Gibbs on the other hand, would have loved him some Trent Richardson.

Norv has done well with a bunch of different types of backs.

Emmitt, Terry Allen, Stephen Davis, Tomlinson, Ricky Williams, Gore, etc.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Detroit Lions Pregame Thread
 

A lot of the analysts that are picking us to win Sunday are doing it because the lions are 0-26 all time away against the redskins.

If that's their only and best reasoning, then I'm still sticking with Detroit in a 45-27 rout.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Detroit Lions Pregame Thread

You are forgetting Stephen Davis. He is the exception to the rule though. Terry Allen was fairly versatile.
