2013 Cleveland Browns Thread: RIP Chud

  • thavoice
    May have been stated but I havent red it yet on here......Richardson found out he was traded when his buddy called him and then he turned on the radio and heard it?
  • se-alum
    Just saw that the Browns save 6.6 million by trading Richardson. They will be forced to spend a ton of money in the offseason. They will have to overpay to get guys to Cleveland, but it's something that will have to be done.

    Assuming they get their QB, they'll have no excuses for him to not be successful his first year. They have to be at that salary "floor" this year, I believe, so they should be able to field a pretty nice team with all of the draft picks and potential FA pickups.

    Hey guise, did you hear t rich found out about the trade on the radio?

    The funny thing (see: sad) about the 2012 draft, we all talked about how it would be pretty hard to fuck it up with all the picks we have. Well, we pretty much only have Billy Winn and maybe Schwartz (if he gets his head out of his ass) to show for it. LOL.

    I will root for T Rich to succeed, just hopefully it doesn't translate to wins this season!

    If the browns biggest problem is having to find a veteran QB, were doing 10000000x better than what we've been used to.

    Come on you're seriously saying a first round WR, Gordon, and a 2nd round RB along with a top QB wouldn't suffice?

    Same here, he seems like a genuinely good dude.

    On another note, it's really starting to seem like the Alabama RB's are a product of their dominant offensive lines. The jury is still out on Lacy of course, but neither Richardson or Mark Ingram seem capable of reaching the production they showed at 'Bama.

    Yes, I am. How's the young receiving corps been working out for us? Need a reliable veteran.

    Sorry. Veteran WR

    Well it certainly doesn't help that our QB blows asshole. So does our line.

    And last I checked, Gordon had a really good rookie season, and hasn't played at all this year.

    Obviously little will be gone. Gordon, first round WR, bess, and a veteran WR will be golden.
  • BR1986FB
    Still not sure why everyone seems to be counting on Gordon. He's been unreliable, to date.

    A new QB, some veteran WR's, a new RB along with a RG and, yes, this offense should look a lot better. The key will be the receivers though. "If" Josh Gordon is back, they can't just draft a rookie WR opposite of him going into the season and expect magic. Bess is a nice piece but he's not a #2.

    The key is NOT the WRs. How are you still not getting that? The key is, and will always be, getting a QB who is worth a damn and having an oline that can protect him.

    Umm, yeah....with a ROOKIE QB the key IS the receivers. Give old Bridgewater our current WR's or Tom Brady's current receivers and he's going to look like shit. Sorry but RGIII looks like a bag of turds last year without that veteran group (Garcon, Moss, etc). Andrew Luck had the benefit of Reggie Wayne.

    Josh Gordon and a first round WR isn't garbage though. No shit if you're throwing the ball to an undrafted rookie out of Cincinnati he's not going to succeed. But the QB needs to be there before anything else.

    At first last night I was PISSED about the trade.

    Once I calmed down I actually think, while it sucks for this season, the Browns got the better end of the trade.

    The Colts, in my opinion, are taking a big step down in record this year from last. The reason is they play a much tougher schedule. I see them going 7-9 this year. 7-9 puts the pick we got from the Colts in the 10-12 range.

    Now that we have traded TRich, we are looking at 4-5 wins tops, which puts us drafting in the top 5. So 2 picks in the top 12 as well as all the other picks we have in this years draft, they can move to whatever spot they want to get the QB they want, without having to use both 1st rounders.

    I hate it and I like it all at the same time.

    Colts are not going 7-9 no way
  • BR1986FB
    Four or five wins, from what we've seen, is extremely generous. We could be going into the "Bridgewater Bowl" against the Jags with an "O-fer" hanging around our necks in the win column.
