Anyone else notice that the teams with the high paid RBs (Minn, Tenn, etc) haven’t been to a SB and the teams that win SBs have all had top QBs and insignificant RBs?

Last 8 SB winners:
NYG: Bradshaw (7th round pick)
GB: Brandon Jackson (backup, cut next season)
NO: Pierre Thomas (4th round)
Pitt: Mewelde Moore (backup)
NYG: Bradshaw (7th)
Indy: Joseph Addai (30th pick of draft)
Pitt: Willie Parker (undrafted)
NE: Corey Dillon (old vet picked up for season)

So it’s pretty obvious that RB isn’t important in winning SBs these days but I guess we all know that the browns know nothing about winning SBs. How else do you explain wasting a high draft pick on a position that only lasts a few years in the NFL? Why do the Pats always have a no-name RB who is successful?

This should allow single coverage on the outside, and Weeden takes over from there! Trolls stop hating that the Browns have a loyal fan base and your team can barely get 40,000 people at a game!

Will lead the AFC North in rushing this year. NFL the next. Will single handily return the Browns to 80′s form. Cardiac kids 2.0

I wish Trent wasn’t in the AFC North. I feel bad for him that he was drafted by Cleveland. I’m sure he would have loved to be in Tampa. But I don’t see him leading the division in rushing, or at least not this year. No QB. No WR. No elite O-line. And they have to play in the toughest division in football.
And did you forget about Ray Rice?

These “Browns” are not truly the Browns. It’s an organization that has been a mess from day one. No focus. No direction. No chance. Terrible shame. This version has lost more games in a little over a decade than the original team lost in nearly 50 years. There’s not likely to be a hall-of-famer inducted in the next twenty years. For Richardson, I feel sorry. I hope he’s the one.

Richardson might be great but until the Browns sort out their QB situation I don’t see this kid getting 1,000 yards.

Think of it as grandma driving a Ferrari

But we had a work horse running back last year that they were giving the ball to 10-15 times a game until the end of the season. They were forcing the throwing game and now they’ve learned. Too late for Hillis, but I’ll settle for Richardson

————————————————————

One person does not make a team, especially when that one person is a running back. Adrian Peterson and Maurice Jones Drew are arguably 2 of the top 5 backs in the NFL and their teams blow.

So enjoy those rushing titles (which won’t happen by the way) while your team finishes 4-12 year after year

His hallucinations about Hardesty and even Jackson border on sheer lunacy.

No wonder Reid had final say over player personnel in Philly.

In the 2010′s they will be the Titans during CJ2k’s big year at best. I suppose that is still really good for the Browns.

Career expentancy….3 years???
