People that play in 12 team leagues with two flexes don't all have 3 top 15 running backs to roll out every week.Even if healthy, would anyone really start a Browns RB??
During bye weeks, I would think for sure. Even in some formats the starting RB for any team is being used. That being said, if I had my choice I wouldn't want to start one. They look bad. I mean, I know they were bad last year and Hillis pulled out a great season somehow, but it doesn't seem like the team wants to feature him enough to do so. Conspiracy theories aside, I honestly don't see what they see in Hardesty. He's fumbled the ball a few times I've seen him get carries near the goal line. He's dropped 6 passes. He doesn't block very well. Hillis seems superior in all aspects.Even if healthy, would anyone really start a Browns RB??
You would if your other RB is a concussed Best or a Shanny RB AKA Torain/HightowerEven if healthy, would anyone really start a Browns RB??
Why not Miami with his old OC? Thomas, Hillis & Bush would be a heck of a comb
f course I doubt the Browns would trade him at all.
Really? I have no idea who the vision is but he was trolling pretty hard and trying his damnedest to make that thing a trainwreck by accusing anyone who didn't like Hillis of being a Hardesty owner who drafted the guy in the early rounds. Seems your paranoia is getting the best of you GB.
Apparently you're not allowed to have a negative opinion of Hills, backed with relevant facts.
lol Tarheel we get it, you have hardestyI have both and am going to see if I can move them to an owner in need of rb help with bye week blues. I liked Hardesty coming out, but he does not look like he is all the way back from his ACL surgery. Maybe next year.
MADDEN! DUH DUH DUH DUUUUUUUUH!
and that's againast a soft D...
Not paranoid at all, it was painfully obvious a couple folks wanted to ratchet it up.
No substantial news and you won't know until Wednesday what to expect but it seems like he will be out at least a week,
Thanks for the great info!
How many times are you going to post this quote, Dr Awesome?!
we get it.Mort says Hillis is on the block..you don't need to post it over and over and over again.Hopefully Hillis finds himself in a more favorable position , i.e., playing for another team.
I posted it at the end of the thread and edited it into the first post so people didn't have to jump to the bottom to see the news. This thread was talking about Hillis news...and that news originally consisted of his injury. That's hardly over and over and over again. Who pissed in your cheerios?How many times are you going to post this quote, Dr Awesome?!
you only get compensatory picks if you have net loss of free agents. so if lloyd walks, but they sign some other guys, they get nada.
that makes sense then...thanks
I think the opposite. He'll probably end up in a power back role vs a feature back role. Its not going to increase his value when he moves from the 20+ touch games he has in CLE, to the 10-12 touch games he has with his new team. I feel like now is the time to sell high.
Sell high? That would have happened around week 10 last year sir. Selling now might get you a sweet defense in return, maybe a WR3.
I think you're going to be very surprised who'll be interested in Hillis this coming offseason & what kind of role he'll have with them.Hillis is the perfect buy-low in dynasty leagues, IMO.
Are you under the opinion that Hillis will be handed a major role with a new team? Im not. I look at the landscape and don't see any landing spot where hes not in a RBBC at best. Maybe Cinci if Benson leaves, but even then They'd be smart to take someone like Richardson in the draft in that scenario. I'll own a very late first round pick. Most likely 10-12 range, and thats about all I'd even consider offering (not sure I would). I'm curious as to where you think his value is.'Football Jones said:
Hillis could be the feature back next year on teams like NYJ, CIN, DEN, WAS, DET, ARI, SEA, & ATL (Turner isn't nearly as good as he used to be & will turn 30 this offseason). I'm going to try to acquire Hillis in all my dynasty leagues (if he can be had for a reasonable price).
It may be the case. I think he's a decent buy-low as his value is pretty low, but I wouldn't be treating him like he was for sure going to be a starting RB on any of those teams:NYJ - Still would be a timeshare, even if you don't buy into Greene or LT, Powell is there as well. Then again, this wouldn't be a horrible fit.CIN - Possible, depends on what they do with Benson and/or Scott.DEN - Doubt it, they already sent him packing (even if a different staff). Content with McGahee and Moreno for now.WAS - Doesn't really fit Shanahan's system that well, IMO.DET - Would be a total timeshare with Best and LeShoure.ARI - Wells & WilliamsSEA - Perhaps.ATL - Turner still there and they like Rodgers, esp in terms of the passing game as they try to open up more.
The problem for Hardesty is that the rest of his skillset is on a par with Jackson's. Hillis can find work elsewhere, but probably not as many places as some have posted. The bizarre thing is that his skillet is far better suited for the WC offense, so it is hard to fathom what Shurmur is doing.
I'm just wondering if he was a strong candidate to go on the trade block, so they wanted to assess Hardesty and keep Hillis healthy....
seriously??
At one point in the voting it was Hillis vs. Rodgers, I voted Hillis for this very reason.
