What RB are you talking about?

In the past five years, here is a list of 1st round running backs:
Darren McFadden
Jonathon Stewart
Rashard Mendenhall
Felix Jones
Chris Johnson
Knowshon Moreno
Donald Brown
Chris "Beanie" Wells
C.J. Spiller
Ryan Matthews
Jahvid Best
Mark Ingram
Trent Richardson
David Wilson
Doug Martin
The only 2 running backs in the list I'd rather have are CJ Spiller and Doug Martin.
The Colts gave up a late 1st round pick to fill a void they needed filled and got the 3rd best runningback of the past 5 drafts.
"Bad trade"... only if you are blinded by Jags homerism.
Quote:You Colts fans are very defensive.I don't know any Colts fans that are bitter about Manning. Everyone I know is rooting for Peyton - except when he plays Indy. You can try to talk [BLEEP] all you want - the Colts made the very tough, but absolutely correct decision to move on to Luck.
Bit Sore that Manning is looking better than ever? and Luck's ceiling is more Phillip Rivers
Quote:What RB are you talking about?
Quote:Trent Richardson. He was 21 years old last season.
950 yards rushing, 11 rushing TDs. 367 yards receiving, 1 receiving touchdown.
1,300+ yards and 12 touchdowns

There are no regrets in Indy. Denver has a much better team to put around Peyton than the Colts could have. And the Colts have their QB position locked up for the next 10+ years. They've also decided to build in a different manner - one that will hopefully lead to more post season success.
As to your Rivers comment - whatever, I'm more than happy knowing Andrew Luck will QB my team for the next decade. I know he's a special player. I guess we shouldn't expect a Jags fan to know what a good young QB looks like anyway!
Quote:Come back when you have won a playoff game. Until then, your "good young QB" hasn't lived up to his draft hype yet.
Quote:Watching Richardson play yesterday, he really doesn't impress me that much at this level for a RB. He looks very average to me.
Is he an upgrade from what the Colts had? Sure....but that goes to illustrate just how bad their RB production has been, rather than seeing Richardson as some stark talent.

I'm still laughing at your awful comprehension mistake from earlier, and the irony in your pretentiousness afterwards.

Quote:Got it. I'll remember that next year when evaluating the Jags new rookie QB - he's a failure until he wins a playoff game. Doesn't matter if he's the primary catalyst for a great turn around, if he doesn't make and win a playoff game he's a failure.
Quote:Cleveland 3-0 since trading Richardson.
Picked up McGahee from his couch eating Cheetos and he comes in for 2.7ypc. Not a huge drop off.
