It is funny you say that. I own Herron and after this last playoff game I tried to buy Richardson for 3.02 in this years draft. I was rejected and counter with Herron and 1.10 for Richardson.
It's hard to feel bad for him IMO- besides the whole "he has millions of reasons to be happy" thing, his failure really seems to be his own doing. He's been given multiple chances in multiple situations and has blown them. He should have been busting his butt all off season, but he seems content just resting on his laurels.
It is, because I was one of his biggest detractors in this thread last year and this year. I avoided him like the plague.
I definitely think his failure was his own doing. First, his lack of true NFL ability stopped him from ever showing any explosiveness (2012 was volume and short TDs alone to get good FF #s). Second, he has never shown any remorse so to speak. He always seemed (I posted my thoughts on this every time a positive spin was posted here) to say he was working on getting better and then adding in things like stacked boxes and being the D's focus and getting stopped meant it gave Luck more openings.Remember the potential CLE had before they used that pick on Manziel? Remember when they needed a WR when Gordon was supposedly out for the year and they could have drafted Benjamin? Remember when they took Manziel and could have had Bridgewater?
As a CAR fan, you sure do hate CLE. They actually did something right in trading Richardson for 1st rounder despite public perception and all you do is launch into litany of bad choices not pertinent to that move.stbugs said:
They did use the pick to acquire what's his name.Bronco Billy said:

No, I really don't. Indy was looking for a WR (took Moncrief in the 3rd). If they hadn't traded the pick, maybe they decide to get Luck a big target and Carolina is likely not in the playoffs with Cotchery as their #1 WR. Then, if they hadn't decided to take Manziel, the Browns may have decided they'd rather take Benjamin than rely on Hawkins as their #1 WR.
this is more accurate. made a great move followed by a crappy one.
Over at DLF he's still ranked in the top 24 RB's by four experts. The lowest is 37 and they would all rather have Trent over Herron (average #69).
What he did????????????????????? Seriously????TRich, just a sad story. I'm wondering what he did to relegate himself all the way to special teams. I would be shocked to see him play STs this week. Shocked!
I know he sucks, it just seems they are trying to piss him off here. Feels like something has gone down. (besides Richardson after 1 yard)
Getting cut on guaranteed contract would be the ultimate fall from grace.
weirldy though, he was going that high after his rookie year, and his rookie year was absolutely NOT impressive.
With such a draft and college pedigree, the hope of a turnaround will take a long time to fully fade. On paper, there is still no reason why he can't be an RB1.
I have him in one league and I don't think I would have accepted the 3.02 either. At this point, you hold and hope for the 5% chance he figures it out with yet another offseason and maybe some fire under his buttocks after getting cut.

It might be time to retire this and all other threads regarding Richardson. Now that we know what he is. I mean we could spend all day talking about Shonn Greene...
Buy low??? Seriously I think it's far more likely he is out of the league than even playing. I don't think its worth the opportunity cost of a roster spot.
