Apparently his knee where he had microscopic surgery is sore...

Bad sign?

What the Hell is microscopic surgery?

microscopic knee surgery aka knee arthroscopy aka knee scope. For the lazy...

ETA: having soreness after a procedure like this isn't all that concerning but having an MRI done is a bit more concerning... but nothing to panic about. it's definitely something to monitor though.

It was a joke, sorta. All reports on Hardesty have been that this is the best he has been. Is that saying much? No. But he's healthy and apparently looking good. Is Richardson going to pull a Mark Ingram by getting hurt and disappointing? A Beanie Wells with early knee issues? Time will tell, but if you own Richardson, now might be a very good time to snag Hardesty on the cheap if possible.
 
Heres an update: Trent will be visiting Dr. Andrews, possibly today for cleanup (but its also standard procedure for second opinion via his agency)

 
sorry guys, i drafted him so hes finished

Trent Richardson will travel to Pensacola (FL) on Thursday to have his left knee examined by Dr. James Andrews.

It may be a simple checkup with the surgeon who originally performed Richardson's February 3 knee scope, or there may be more to it. We'll just have to wait and see. Richardson experienced soreness in the surgically repaired knee during recent practices, and the Browns have shut him down for the time being. Fantasy footballers should closely monitor this situation. Montario Hardesty is second on the running back depth chart in Cleveland.

Hardesty's price tag just got a nice boost with news of Richardson going to see the dreaded Dr. James Andrews. If this were simply a follow up appointment, wouldn't the Browns clear the air and just say so? Can't imagine they'd want their fan base (all 10 of them) needlessly upset over a little follow up visit.
 
The troubling thing about TR pick wasn't that he's hurt it's that they traded up 1 slot to get him. There's a reason why tailbacks don't usually go top 3. The Browns reached for TR, they reached for Gordon, they reached for Weeden, their fans deserve better.

(on the plus side i liked the Mitchell Schwartz pick and the Jabaal Sheard pick)

This.I drafted him too. He'll be going the way of Mark Ingram. To hell with drafting RB's in the 1st round any more! :angry:

They didn't reach for Gordon. A year from now, people might be saying "well, that's the ONE thing they got right" but they didn't mess up on that one.

I was listening to a radio show with a former GM (forget who it was) and he made the comment that once 3-4 years, every NFL team should spend a top 1st-3rd round pick on a RB. His justification that an explosive, playmaking runner is well worth an early rouund pick, but teams should expect diminishing returns, often collapse after 3-4 seasons as their bodies wear out.He then caveated that staement against drafting a RB top 5-10 unless it's a pick aquired in a way other than your draft slot, as teams drafting in the top 10 usually won't be good enough in time to get a return on that RB investment and would be better served drafting a position of longetivity (QB/CB,OL...)I thought that was a really good analysis.

Care to elaborate? Do you disagree with the use of high picks on RBs or their longevity?IMO you rarely see a RBI turn around a bad franchise. Even greats like Barry, LT and AP have failed to equate to playoff success.

"Hangnail particle". Wow that sounds beyond painful to have in your knee

No wonder hes a former GM. Hilariously he seems to think that the Vikings shouldn't have taken Adrian Peterson and the Lions Barry Sanders and that Maurice Jones-Drew didn't give Jacksonville that much value last season because the Jags stunk. Of course he can hang his hat on the fact that the Colts drafted Addai and Donald Brown on a theory like this (and they went to a SB because... or wait in spite of... it). The Patriots Maroney pick was a waste, but they have gotten good mileage out of BJGE and Woodhead. Packers didn't spend high draft picks on RBs, but the BILLS have spent 2 1st rounders in the past 5 drafts. Their best RB over that span? An UDFA. Skipping past the examples think about how ridiculous his proposition is. 1. Having a great RB is great, 2. you need tons of other talent on your team to get the most out of your RBs. 3. Therefore spend lots and lots of high draft picks on RBs... and just fill in the rest of the team with lower picks. If his position had been that you should draft a QB in the top 3 rounds every year he could be onto something.
 
Latest information.

My link

... it was expected to be a very minor scope that would keep Richardson out only about two-three weeks, the source said.

... Richardson will miss all or some of the preseason games, beginning with tomorrow's opener in Detroit.

It was widely reported he had a procedure in the offseason.He felt fine in OTAs and at the start of camp but after the pounding in camp he had soreness and had his knee scoped where they found some cartiledge that needed to be cleared up and its all done and he'll be ready for the opener.

Wow, what an exciting story. :yawn:

 
Are people scared off totally by this or what? I still think I like him more than the group of RBs currently being taken ahead or close to him. Those players such as Charles, Forte, MJD.

:goodposting: It might pan out but I'm not willing to gamble a mid 1st round pick on him. Unproven Rookie. Crappy team. Lingering knee issues. You're basically paying damn near his ceiling to get him.
