TRENT TRADE

[OLD FAN MAN]

with every win we get this season will Cleveland pick lower with the pick they got for trent? I dont like draft picks anyway,trade them for proven players. after today the trade looks better

[grmasterb]

One game. Let's not get carried away.

[BlueCollarColts]

Anybody already giving up on the trade is an *...... no offense

I think Trent looked good today.  He seems to be slowly getting more confident.  I think he will be much better next year, even though the kid has whiffed a few blocks, he's still overall a good blocker and can catch really well. He just needs to progress with regards to the rushing aspect of his game. 

 

Willing to give him the benefit of the doubt this year.  It always help to see improvement.

I was thinking the same....

Yeah, the trade is over. Like it or not. So let's get on board and root the guy on.

I'm betting he's going to help the team for years to come.

Basically wasn't most of his yardage running not passing in junk time??? I think he stinks as a runner.. As big as this dude is and all the muscles he has, you would think he could carry a few people a few extra yards?? He gets hit and drops like a ton of bricks....

[Rian Huff]

Lol i find it funny now that Trent has had a good game all the people who thought he wasnt worth anything have left this forum alone lol

[MTC]

You'll talking about the 2-12 Texans Defense.

[House]

You'll talking about the 2-12 Texans Defense.

So every good result against a not elite defense doesn't count? Because a lot of stats, and results don't count this season if that's the case.

double no

[Ohio Colt]

Trent didn't play well today. That is myth not factual

[21isSuperman]

I don't think it's a big surprise.  Everyone knew we were very likely going to make playoffs, so the pick would be in the 20s or higher.  I wonder who the Browns will draft with the 32nd overall pick

[Bravo]

Hope I'm reading this correct but yes for every game we win Cleveland will be picking later in the draft! They will get the pick that we would have had in the 1st round! So if we win the Super Bowl they would get the last pick. So I personally think the Trent trade is working out for both sides well.. To early to tell

[dudeski]

what did he do wrong?

[House]

Trent didn't play well today. That is myth not factual

In what world is 100 all purpose yards and a TD not playing well?

[BlueCollarColts]

Man, I sometimes wonder if you guys just root for Trent to fail, just so you can say "Told ya sooo!", he played well today, and if you can't see that, well then your football knowledge is lacking

[Ohio Colt]

68 rushing yards, 34 receiving..... meh that's really nothing to get excited about playing the worst team in football.

 

I cannot even imagine what people would do if he had a real, big game. But lord knows he's not going over 100 yards rushing

No I could care less. I would love to see him go off the fact is he hasn't done it yet.

Oh okay. So we're just going to qualify everything to try and diminish his performance. Gotcha.

I thought you were actually logically critiquing his play.

My mistake. Carry on.

[kjyb]

hell no

hes stupid dont worry about him 

[WastedColt]

100 all purpose yards and a TD is solid. His yards per carry average was still pretty low but he seems to be improving

[BPM_Colt]

Not throwing in the towel on this trade.. Think it pays off and we start getting something out of it next year

[Superman]

To answer your question, no. The draft order for playoff teams is determined by how far they advance in the playoffs. So our win today -- and any additional wins during the regular season -- have no effect on that draft pick. The highest it can be at this point is #21, and that was locked in last week when we clinched. If we win the Super Bowl, it could be #32. Won't know until the playoffs.

[tenbears1971]

I think Cleveland will implode if TR ends up being a successful back..

that would be cool

[SteelDragon]

Trent will be okay as part of a 1-2 punch if the other back is a stud.  Yes, we did trade our first round pick for Robin.  Now we need a Batman.

When was the Colts offense playing in junk time? Last I checked they were leading the whole game and the Texans weren't playing prevent.

This was a serious comment?  Seriously...you're trying too hard.  Trent had a decent game.  But your trying to minimize it is about as stupid as the people saying a 10 rush attempt 24 yard performance is something to be happy about.  Criticize the guy within reason, but don't sacrifice all intelligence to make your point like how you are doing right now.

[unitaswestand]

It was a good trade. He has talent.  Once we open more holes, he will be very good.  He can do it all.  We would not have gotten a player of caliber with a low #1.

[MaoBerry]

I see what you did there. Heck yeah, we can WIN IT ALL THIS YEAR! Both the broncos/patriots are beatable and i think the hawks stumble.

[Narcosys]

Cleveland has a decent back now. They need the picks over trent. From cleveland standpoint, the trade was never bad no matter what position the pick is.

[Warhorse]

I would have loved to trade about half the fan base for him, but all Cleveland would take is our #1.

 

So we pulled the trigger.

You don't like draft picks?     Really?

 

You realize most every player in the NFL these days is the result of a draft pick.....

 

They're the Life Blood for every team.....     Every team.....

 

I don't mind trading....   but one has to be careful....

Draft picks are available in rounds 2-7 also, one first round pick wont kill us IMHO. Maybe TRich can be like reggie bush on an accelerated scale, with added durability.

most of them take too much time to develop,if they ever do, a big if, proven players can do it now not in a year or two.there are exceptions if a team has proven players, they can wait  for a draft pick to develop.but if they need to fill a spot now, imo proven players can play today
