A guy that is productive is not a wonder. A guy that is putting up elite production is a wonder. Nicks rookie season was merely ok and if hewere to retrn to that level of production he'd be viewed as a flash in the pan. And Hillis has a history of a lack of production due largely to a lack of opportunity. Also, Nicks has been injure more frequently since turning pro. So if you're going to ding Hillis for that, you certainly have to ding him for it too.

A guy that fails to consistently produce BEFORE or AFTER a period of productivity = "wonder".
In 2.5 seasons, Nicks has been injured 3 times and missed 6 games. He has never been on IR.In 3.5 seasons, Hillis has been injured 5 times and missed 10 games. He has been on IR once.

wow, I just saw the FBG email. Its a lose lose situation here. He isn't healthy, hes not part of the Browns future plans, and the Browns have probably accepted that this isn't their year. I dont see a whole lot of reasons for the Browns to put him back on the field again this year.

Can you imagine Hillis in New England? Seems like a terrific place for him if they wanted to stop tinkering at RB and get a guy that can hammer it and also catch 60 balls if need be.

I didn't have the roster space to pick up Ogbonnaya. Nobody else in my league grabbed him, either. Now I know why.

Uh you're kidding right? Withers is the AP beat writer guy for the Browns, he's actually quite good. Him and the PD crew (Grossi and Cabot) are the people to listen to.So I'll assume you're kidding

Unsubstantiated and reaching for a story unless he can tie it to someone on the inside. I don't buy into hearsay from writers. I will assume he is back in two weeks, not several as the title has now been changed to.Uh you're kidding right? Withers is the AP beat writer guy for the Browns, he's actually quite good.

Two weeks plus yesterday's game is certainly several. Perhaps you have a different definition. And I qualified the IR mention by writing 'rumor' in front of it. Whether the rumor has legs remains to be seen. But it is a rumor.Unsubstantiated and reaching for a story unless he can tie it to someone on the inside. I don't buy into hearsay from writers.

Not a big deal but 2 or 3 weeks is a "couple weeks" as I define it. Several would be 4-5 or more games IMO.

I am quite prepared for that reality IF it should happen actually. I just don't see the Browns logic to want to shut down a back with a hamstring injury just half way through the season. Lots of football left to play and there really isnt anyone else doing anything in that backfield worth mentioning. If they are going a different direction at the end of the season due to money well thats different but not incentive to pull the plug on a guy who has MRI's confirming that he is hurt unless those images show he will be hurt for some time. In that case they could probably use the roster space for another player.Sounds like you don't want to face facts and cut bait on Hillis.Unsubstantiated and reaching for a story unless he can tie it to someone on the inside.

As I suspected. Shurmur puts the rumor to rest.

A couple=two. There is no other definition. Me and my wife are a couple.

Oh- and agreed.
Couple = two of the same sort considered together; pair
Several = more than two but fewer than many in number or kind
Few = not many but more than one

To me few is probably the best term rather than several. Will conceed on the term couple unless of coarse its a Ménage à troisMy wife and I...

He's already been ruled out this week.

Can't believe that Hillis has become part of this racist conspiracy to keep him off the field.He's already been ruled out this week.
Someone offered me a trade that involved me unloading the Great White Hope. I couldn't accept it fast enough. Even if Hillis comes back, his playoff schedule is absolutely brutal. No thanks!

I flipped him for Roddy White in my dynasty league.

Hamstrings don't take that long to heal. The problem is he's soft and just got wifed up from what I've heard. He'll miss the last month of the season due to a bad case of the trots from takin it the browns too much.

I'm sure it's been said but I'm willing to bet that he kept rushing along the injury so he can try to prove his worth on the field so he can bargain for a better contract. He just screwed himself real good

The word "soft" gets thrown around in fantasy forums a lot. A bit of perspective: He plays football in the NFL. He's also a running back with a reputation for not shying away from contact. Decidedly not soft.

I dropped him couple weeks back. I'm willing to bet he doesn't comeback this year.
Dr. Awesome

This is ridiculous.
Breesisdaman

I think Hillis will milk this injury for all its worth because of the low ball contract offers. He would rather save himself for next season with another team. I finally dropped his ### and see no value going forward.

19 for 65. That's a 3.4 ypc. 2 catches for -4 yards. His longest reception of the day LOST one yard.
Look at this stud in action!

It was his first game back and he was playing the Bengals who are #5 in rush defense and #2 in opposing yards/attempt.

He's so bad, that on my Black Friday Gamestop ad for Madden 12, they shadowed out Hillis with a bronze outline so that you can't recognize him or even that he's a Brown.

RIP Peyton Hillis... hopefully you can catch on as a short yardage specialist with someone next year, for league minimum.
I just picked him up. With Smith and ADP having high ankle sprains, I was looking for a RB with a pulse. With my luck this year, he will pull his hamstring during warmups!

I've never been a big Hillis fan, but I don't get how you can dismiss him after one game against a top 5 rush defense, coming off a lingering injury. Makes no sense. From what I saw, he looked decent. Fresh legs to be sure. A huge part of his production last year was in the passing game, which they did not get going this week.

Agree. He looked good with the poor blocking, consistently getting extra yards after contact just like the guy we seen last year. Only now I wouldn't expect the guy to die when production matters the most. Are far as Hillis schedule, ari is a slam dunk rb1 day, but am I the only one who isn't too afraid of the Pitt matchup? Or am I missing something

He'll be a starting RB next year. The difference he made to the Browns' offense was very obvious on Sunday.

There needs to be some crow eaten in this thread from the folks pimping the notion that the Browns were ending Hillis season by putting him on IR. There never was anything to the story and now there are a bunch of Hardesty and Silent G owners whining about cover boy because he is back and starting.
