Colts Trade for Brown's Richardson

[mraynrand]

In other former Browns RB news, Peyton Hillis got released by Tampa. What happened to that guy? Monster season, Madden cover wouldn't sign an extension then the wheels really fell off.

He's only 27. Any possibility he can still do it? I wonder if the Browns bring him in for a look see??? They certainly need a runner!

That's a total attitude problem. Guy's head got so huge it was unbelievable. I think this is part of Brown's Fan Derangement Syndrome. The fan base is so starved for wins, so starved for a legitimate NFL star to lead them to the promised land, that they jump on bandwagons while they are still on the assembly line and then crash hard when they realize the wagon is a Chrysler Sebring. Hillis thought he was John Riggins, but really was closer to Toby Gerhart.

As a rookie...on a offensively challenged Browns team with a weak rookie QB, no capable receivers, and mediocre OL...Richardson ran for 950 and caught 50 balls for another 350. He had 1300 total yards being THE ONLY FUCKING GUY in Cleveland.

I said 1500 yards from scrimmage...rushing AND receiving. Richardson doesn't have the breakaway speed to rack up 1500 rushing yards on a consistent basis, and Indy is going to pass a lot anyway. However, Richardson demands defensive attention because the dude is a tank. If you don't put at least 7 in the box, he'll gash you to death with 6-10 yard runs. He's money in goal line and short yardage situations. The one real area he needs help in is pass blocking...but Indy will make that lesson a priority from day one.

I don't care what Jim Brown says...the guy is old and senile and has more experience taking shovels to cars than evaluating NFL talent.

Well, you think the kid is a big star, I don't. He can do the job, but I think the Brownies should have drafted him in that spot. Did Indy overpay? Maybe, but I admire their spunk by going all in.

Jim Brown? 5 assaults on Women and at least one on a man. Sounds like a lot of people don't listen (according to Jim) to him.

Heh. I wonder if he'll get his head screwed on straight? Getting cut by TB and being offered nothing but a vet minimum contract might go a long ways towards that. He was a vested vet on the roster for week 1 of the season, right? He's getting paid this year regardless?
