Thoughts on the suggestion in this article on Trent?

[lance.acres]

The author suggests that New England and Indy enter some sort of trade in the off season to swap RB's. Thoughts?

Interesting, but I don't think I'd go for it. I think TR could be dangerous with a decent line.

[Colts_Fan12]

No way TRich is gonna be good here I believe he's got wat it takes to be real good once the line is addressed

I agree completely!

[Colts_Fan12]

I agree completely!

If Grigs goes out and gets us some O linemen this FA I think TRich goes off next year

[Imped]

No way TRich is gonna be good here

The importance of grammar.

[NagelHausForge]

This sentence (or 3?) makes my head hurt... Someone please show him where the comma and period keys are...

 

Are you saying TRich will be good in Indy once the Oline is addressed or are you saying he will never be good here in Indy?? 

 

I'm so confused.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Really?  Trade a guy we used a 1st round pick on for a guy the other team used a 3rd on?  Not only that, our guys flaw is low y/carry.  The guy we get fights for an extra yards, then coughs it up to the other team.  Win - Win alright. Win Pats lose 3rd rnd Ridley, Win they get 1st rnd TRich.

 

He's a Pats homer, me thinks

[AntonMcG]

Interesting, but I don't think I'd go for it. I think TR could be dangerous with a decent line. and scheme

[Warhawk]

Sure, because I've always felt that what this team is really lacking is a guy who fumbles every other time he touches the ball. Hey, maybe we can get Legarette Blount packaged in the deal and really starting giving the ball away.

Say what you want about Richardson, at least his ball security is pretty good.

[Valpo2004]

Why would we trade TRich who might have a very solid year next year when he has a chance to be in camp with everyone and get a better O-line in front of him for a RB who has fumbling issues?

 

Let's give T Rich a full season where he has the time to spend camp and OTA's with the team before we give up on him.

Amen.

 

I almost spit my coffee all over the screen when I read about the fumble happy RB in New England.  Let alone giving up a 1st round T-Rich for a third round pick....I also found it amusing that the author thought Trent desperately needed a scenery change considering he has only been here about ¾ of the season.

 

I've been very vocal about T-Rich not running well.  I've said and still believe the deal was a bust, as we gave up too much for him.  That doesn't mean that sometime in the future, he won't prove me wrong.  I'm content to have him do so.  To trade him for Mr. Fumble would be an even worse (read dumb) move than giving up a first round pick for T-Rich in the first place.  (Talk about selling low, don't let the author of that article anywhere near your life savings)

[BlueCollarColts]

No, don't trade Trent.... You don't give up on a player in about 3/4 of a season, especially not with his upside

[dudeski]

Completely dumb idea

[Mameluc]

no

[Tark The Shark]

Man, for all the flak Trent gets, I am surprised more people didn't think this was a good idea.

 

I personally think that this is a horrible idea. We are banking on Trent for the future, and Ridley is injury prone and a fumble machine. 2 words I wouldn't use to describe Trent.

[adamthyst]

Give him a whole year to recognize the scheme we use and an offensive line and I think he'll be his old self again. No way we're trading him though, absolutely not.

[Snowglobe]

Give him another year.

[indystyle]

I believe NE always wins out in trades. I would not trade a toe jam to them. 

[The Fish]

The Colts are on the hook for 6 mill over the next 3 seasons of T-Rich. That alone softens up the cap space that goes to a 1st round pick.

 

This trade can only really be judged after next season.

[husker61]

i am completely in favor of trading tr for the pats 1st round pick next year, or any other teams 1st round pick. i am sure there are teams that have a good offensive line would be happy to make that trade. right??

[21isSuperman]

Richardson is at a crossroads in his career?  He's on his 2nd team and in his 2nd season in the league.

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Luck has no where near reached his potential, why people think Richardson has is beyond me.

[B~Town]

Why would we want Ridley he's a fumble machine ball security is a big part of our game plan . Would be a loose loose for us IMO Trent has a bigger upside and good ball security once we get our O Line working he could be a work horse . 

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Interesting, but I don't think I'd go for it. I think TR could be dangerous with a decent line.

How would Ridley look running behind our line?  Answer: Horrilbe

qb's and rb's are completely different.

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

qb's and rb's are completely different.

Right.  Because all Rb's are at their peak in their 1st or 2nd year in the league.

[Colts_Fan12]

qb's and rb's are completely different.

True but not all RBs are the same either

[Colts_Fan12]

Oh I hope TRich goes off and just starts playin great then everyone will be jumping on his bandwagon just like Rogers glad I believed in them both from the start

[azcolt]

Initial thought is those of us on this board calling the trade a bust have company.

[IUfan_Charlie]

If Grigs goes out and gets us some O linemen this FA I think TRich goes off next year

Knowing Grigson he'll trade another 1st rounder for a backup caliber lineman... 

[IUfan_Charlie]

It's a bust until he plays well. 

[Derakynn]

I'd rather ha be a low ypc guy that doesn't fumble than a guy the decent ypc guy that plays basketball with the other team.

[Stoney]

This sentence (or 3?) makes my head hurt... Someone please show him where the comma and period keys are...

Are you saying TRich will be good in Indy once the Oline is addressed or are you saying he will never be good here in Indy??

I'm so confused.

How dumb are u if you can't understand what he said? Hahaha...

[TKnight24]

Why would we HELP the Patriots?

Trent Richardson behind that OUTSTANDING offensive line? Seriously? That'd be the dumbest move we've made in the Grigson era

[lance.acres]

Don't shoot the messenger people. I'm just putting what's already out there on the forum for discussion. At least we all agree that Trent needs to stay.

[Kenny]

Richardson will at least play out his rooki contract here bank on that.

[Le Neon]

I'd rather have Vereen, but still wouldn't make the trade.

[NagelHausForge]

Probably just a little bit smarter than the person who had to quote their first failed attempt at quoting me and jacking it up...
