Colts trade for Trent Richardson

[ace3g]

Colts trade for Trent Richardson, wow

just heard on Fox Sports 1

[Mugshot]

Weird...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Holy shit.......

[dirk4mvp]

Peyton/Faulk etc

[kamikazi_player]

Umm...what does this mean for Bradshaw? :/

[DPG21920]

Big time move. Their first rounder is very valuable, but not top 5. Getting a guaranteed decent player, possible really good player that is already known when you have a stud QB > that pick IMO.

Wonder what CLE was doing. Maybe they have someone they are in love with? A QB?

[Michael Jordan.]

Congrats to my nigga J.T. on the Colts winning the division this year. Oh and fuck the Browns.

[KoolAid Mans Brother]

:lmao Browns

[Clipper Nation]

Sucks for Teddy Bridgewater, Cleveland is going to ruin his career before it ever got started....

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Sucks that Dywane Allen was lost for the year, but Richardson is a fucking monster!

[Holden_Caulfield]

what the fuck browns. teddy is ours!! now thats full on tank mode. starting hoyer and mcgahee :lmao

[DPG21920]

You think McGahee will start? What about Bobby Rainey

[Clipper Nation]

Btw, people are overrating Richardson a bit...


What was missing for Richardson were the big plays. His longest run of the year was only for 32 yards, and just two of his 267 carries went for 20 yards or more. That's not a lot: 0.7 percent is the fifth-lowest rate for any back with 200 carries or more over the past five years.

He's also injury-prone....

[Lincoln]

Morris>Richardson

Didnt Richardson average 3.8 YPC? He should do well in Indy tho. Lmao tradin last years first round pick

[Trill Clinton]

well he was the only threat the browns had so i expect him to do much better in indy.

[Clipper Nation]

The Browns have a better O-line than the Colts and Richardson didn't do shit with it, only 3.5 per carry, tbh....

(The fact that Cleveland has had nothing but shitty records the past few years despite their good O-line further proves my point that playmakers are what win games nowadays, not O-lines, but I digress....)

(The fact that Cleveland has had nothing but shitty records the past few years despite their good O-line further proves my point that playmakers are what win games nowadays, not O-lines, but I digress....) well teams can't put 8 onthe box vs the colts so that should free up Trent. Never been a fan of his game tho but I guess we will see. Is he a pass catcher at all

[Trill Clinton]

this. the browns had NO pass threat at all. greg little sucks and i don't even know who their other receivers are....and weeden is garbage.

[JoeTait75]

Great fucking trade (potentially.) Seriously.

I was happy w/the T-Rich pick just in terms of making the best of a bad situation (pissing away a chance to get RGIII) but he only averaged 3.6 yards a carry, and the reality is that spending a top-five pick on a RB in this day and age is just plain stupid.

Not saying he isn't a talent, though. If he ever learns to hit the hole decisively he's going to be a damn good back. He certainly has ability and yes, he can catch the football too.

[Avante]

Stupid move, makes no sense at all. Where did they get the idea Richardson was an upgrade over Bradshaw to begin with?

Bad move~~~~~~~~

[JoeTait75]

Oh, and there is a full-fledged tank going on in Cleveland. They aren't messing around. They're going for 2-14, 1-15 now.

[Spur-Addict]

No more crying for Colts fans about Luck not having a running game.

[Lincoln]

Do they get the colts position in the first round like NBA?

[J.T.]

Love this trade. Colts haven't had a viable run game in a long fucking time. Only way this trade is bad for the Colts is if they lose a lot of games and go 4-12 or some shit. Actually this is pretty much a legit trade unless they finish in the top 5 of the draft.

[J.T.]

Do they get the colts position in the first round like NBA?

Yeah, whatever pick the Colts would have had next year is now Cleveland's

[DPG21920]

Oh, and there is a full-fledged tank going on in Cleveland. They aren't messing around. They're going for 2-14, 1-15 now.

Who starts at RB now? Rainey or McGahee?

You shouldn't really be butthurt over losing out on RGIII anymore :lol

:lol Skeens

:lol Skeens
Tbh, a rusty, limping RG3 still >>>>>>>>> any quarterback the Browns have had since they returned :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I like this trade for the Browns because I'm still a firm believer that sans a few freaks of nature once every few years, RBs are never worth a first round pick.

[Avante]

Funny how in a ..passing league...everyone needs a running game, hahaha!!!!!!!!!

[J.T.]

I like this trade for the Browns because I'm still a firm believer that sans a few freaks of nature once every few years, RBs are never worth a first round pick.

Yeah, apart from Peterson almost none of the top-shelf RB's in the league right now were 1st rounders. The only part of this trade I kind of don't like is that we really do need to build our defense and most legit defenses were built through solid drafting and not picking up free agents or trying to develop some scab. Also, the drafting of Reggie Wayne's successor is about 3 years overdue by my count. It wouldn't be that way if the previous front office didn't bust every 1st round pick between Anthony Gonzalez and Anthony Castonzo. Now, I like TY Hilton. I like extending Heyward-Bey's contract for cheap if he produces this year. Our tight end situation was great until Allen went to IR today...so I'm okay with holding out on drafting our WR1 of the future in a year or two. But like...1st rounder woulda been nice to improve the pass rush.

Even the freaks don't really help you win. The one really good year the Vikings have had during AP's career was when they had a healthy Brett Favre throwing 34 TD passes.

And T-Rich is no freak. He's a solid, workhorse back who can get you 1,200 rushing yards, 60 catches and 12 TDs. A Matt Forte type. He isn't going to go off for 250 yards in a game or rip off 80-yd runs on the regular. Good player but not a franchise guy, imo.

[kamikazi_player]

I can't wait to see this Colts offense with T-rich. Wonder if T-rich is going to be the best back the Colts has had since the Edge?

Agreed and that was my point. T-Rich is by no stretch of the imagination an AP type.

[Avante]

Somebody needs to try and get Kendall Hunter away from the Niners.

[DPG21920]

I wonder if we will see the Jags move MJD? They suck, he's aging and if they are going to get something for him they have to move him now. Maybe a team like the Giants or Pit?

Lets see how Avante moves the goal posts on this one.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Considering the caliber of player that Trent Richardson is, this trade really isn't as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.

[Clipper Nation]

Lets see how Avante moves the goal posts on this one.
"Do you ever get tired of being stupid? Kids in hiding, sheesh~~~"

"You can always tell the rookies"

"Mason posted that, not me."

[Avante]

Lets see how Avante moves the goal posts on this one.

Not at all I was thinking he finally got his $$$$$$$$$$$. I confess don't pay much attention to the jags.

Reminds of the time I listed every 1000 yard rusher in NFL history and what school they went to, guy comes back...you spelled...(forget)...wrong. Hahahaha!!!!!!!

[Clipper Nation]

Those weren't "so much better," still not even close to the 70% you were predicting.... and you're probably lying about the 56.1% too :lol

Go over there right now and enter the thread about point spreads, there is those 2012 standings.

Mason probably made those picks. Now you're stepping all over him just to make yourself look good to a messageboard.

What a fat piece of shit father.

Next you'll tell us that you don't believe in giving vaccination shots to your kids.

Nope, those were my picks.

Avante: WE CAN JUST IGNORE HIM.

yeah i already got that faggot on my ignore list. its really fucking annoying how people continue to respond to him and make every good thread(like this one) shitty. its just as bad as avante Blake Clipper Nation

just fucking put him on your ignore list

[Clipper Nation]

I just put him on ignore, sorry for annoying people, he was just too easy to shit on :lol

[Avante]

Thank God.


Now maybe I can talk some football, something I've been trying to do.

This deal with Richardson has me thinking that just maybe he has some attitude/character problems. Why would the Browns give up on him so soon?

[Blake]

Spending first round picks on running backs is stupid unless you are loaded at QB and O/D linemen.

It's especially stupid to spend a first round pick on a back who might not even be a top ten back in Richardson.

Not good for the Colts.

[Blake]

Nope, those were my picks.

Probably not.

[Avante]

I totally agree. The great running back might average 4.5, the average back 3.8-4.0. There just isn't that big a difference in backs..unless..they can do something in the passing game.

[Lincoln]

I just put him on ignore, sorry for annoying people, he was just too easy to shit on :lol

Agreed but the stupid fuck can't stop trying even tho the board made a laughing stock of him. I got tired of shitting on him

[Avante]

As we can see dumb kids make.0.impact on me.

Now lets talk football.

This message is hidden because Avante is on your ignore list.

Cleveland made out like a Bandit in this trade

[HarlemHeat37]

:lmao, tbh..

[DPG21920]

Man - Richardson is a bust. I thought having a better team/QB would help him, but it was not the system. He just sucks. He's a volume guy with no big play ability and Colts got completely fleeced.

[Holden_Caulfield]

afcs is a joke :lmao. jaguars still has a chance to win it :lmao

SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!

[Raven]

it would be ok if he was just a big back with no big play ability, but he also sucks in ball security and is terrible in blitz pickups, making him cancerous as a third back.

[Lincoln]

lol nigga getting fuckin benched

[Mal]

Lol nigga quit before getting paid big time.
