As for Richardson....not sure why last year would be seen as an anomaly. He wasn't really all that good the year prior.

I think Richardson will be better.

His first year with the Browns, he had some good moments. I personally saw him in Cincy slicing through the Bengals that day. He had a very good game, and the Bengals D was very good a couple years ago.


Most his rookie year, he was not all that good. But, you gotta remember the Browns of that time. Gordon hadn't really done anything to that point, no Cameron playing like he does now, and they had rookie Brandon Weeden for goodness sake. Most teams just basically played to stuff rookie Richardson,, and he still had some decent showings.


Last year was rough. He looked like he had a terrible time adjusting to the new circumstances. He should be a lot better this year.


I think he's going to be a very good RB, but not a great one. He'll probably never live up to his draft position. I think that's what makes people expect so much more, and he fails. He'll be a good RB that looks like he should've gone somewhere in middle 2nd rd.
