Trent Richardson cut. One of the biggest busts in recent history. I can't believe Indy traded for him. Nor can I believe that they gave us Hughes. Quick- get the Indy GM on the phone and work a deal!

Imagine if you put Hughes and someone like Jason Verrett or Joel Bitonio on that team.

I really have not paid too much attention to the why's concerning Richardson...So what is it? He looked OK in his rookie year...But since then...Wow! Brutal... B-)

And to think, the Browns were roundly eviscerated for the trade. One poster here even suggested that the trade was so one-sided (in favor of Indy) that it was threat to the league's competitive balance and should be investigated.

Yea it's unbelievable their fm has a job. I'm not one to hang a guy on something like the Hughes trade by itself.... But he has a ton of terrible moves.

 

I hate to say it on this board and don't want to derail this thread but can you imagine if they had evens buddy nix since the luck pick? (Used as an example of a good talent guy but not cherry picking an elite GM)

He averaged 3.6 ypc his rookie year, they just kept feeding him. There's just no explosion in his game, if you can't make anyone miss or run away from anyone you aren't long for the league, it's true for big guys too.
