It must be exhausting being a Browns fan.
i don't know that i've ever seen the likes of this trade, this early in the season. it is insane.
johnny football is a sophomore-is he going to the draft after this season? i tell you what, if i was him, and i thought cle wanted me, i'd stay in school.

I think this makes perfect sense for Cle. Why should they try to win 5 or 6 games when they can tank, load up on draft picks and rebuild like Indy did a few years ago when they Sucked for Luck. With Tampa imploding they need to try to get as bad as they can!

And I don't think Indy is that good to be honest.

I've never seen anything like this. They have playoff-quality talent and they'll be lucky to win 5 games.

Getting a 1st round pick out of the deal is a huge win for Cleveland.

you must have a trust in the abilities of the people making decisions in cleveland built on something other than past experience.

a first round pick in cleveland isn't the same as other franchises. they are the rht's of the nfl.

they would be 2-0 absent brain dead penalties on both sides of the ball. they make me miss the discipline of the raiders.

I took +300 on them making the playoffs before the season. I still think they have talent but giving away the first 2 games has me pretty well giving up on the bet.

Mark Ingram 295 carries 3.8 yards attempt.
T. Richardson 298, 3.5.

Cleveland needs offense, and teams need franchise QBs to play in today's game. Besides a lack of a second CB, their defense is pretty good.

T.Rich will be the last of the RBs to be drafted in the top 5. They'll fine one in the future worthy to replace.

I don't understand the comparison to Mark Ingram.

Well there both from Alabama right?

Look T.Rich is a dancing Ron Dayne with a better body.

Guess how many yards he gained on this run

The situations that they were/are in are uncomparable.
