That is exactly right. I grade this trade as a win for Cleveland. Trent Richardson was not drafted by the new/current GM, Coach and offensive coordinator. Plus he is proving to be injury prone.
In Alabama Richardson ran behind one of the most physical offensive lines that had a distinct advantage over most of its opponents. Most of the Alabama RB's ran well behiind that line.
Richardson does not have that advantage in the NFL and it shows. If I could get a 1st rounder (to go with my other 1st) for Trent Richardson I would send him packing in a heart beat. Next years draft has some good QB's and that is Cleveland's biggest need right now.

I'm listening to Holden and Danny for maybe 5 minutes and they had Pierre Garçon on.

(One of those two): Pierre, what makes Calvin Johnson different from other WRs in the NFL?

Pierre:....um let's see, he's 6'5 runs like a 4.2 has a 45 inch vertical and catches everything....

(Same guy who asked that question):...yeah I guess that was a dumb question.




That's like asking what makes Peyton manning different from Tim tebow.

Actually, I don't see it that way. I honestly think they're trying to play competitive football, but I think they're fine if they win two games and have the number overall pick.

Actually no because Tebow has more physical gifts then Manning.

I agree just saying it was a bad analogy.

He does?

LaDainian Tomlinson - Nope
Emmitt Smith - Nope


More versatile backs do well in Turner's system. Now Joe Gibbs on the other hand, would have loved him some Trent Richardson.

He could participate in the Olympics Tebowing competition but still only take bronze.

Norv has done well with a bunch of different types of backs.

Emmitt, Terry Allen, Stephen Davis, Tomlinson, Ricky Williams, Gore, etc.

A lot of the analysts that are picking us to win Sunday are doing it because the lions are 0-26 all time away against the redskins.

If that's their only and best reasoning, then I'm still sticking with Detroit in a 45-27 rout.

You are forgetting Stephen Davis. He is the exception to the rule though. Terry Allen was fairly versatile.
