Trent Richardson to http://ESPN.com : "Me and the GM didn't see eye to eye. My next step, I'll be the starter. Indy didn't fit me."

[Smonroe]

Seriously?

 

Or sarcastic?

Seriously. I'm not defending him, but I'm certainly not going to spew hateful words at any Colt. I'll comment on their play, but some of the stuff I read was embarrassing.

It wasnt his fault he cost us our first round pick.

Dude is throwing the team under the bus right now. I hope he never plays an NFL game again. 

[backshoulderfade]

Hahahahha Trent is a joke.

I mean I hope he does, maybe if he is terrible on another team he will realize he's the problem not the team.

Good luck with that Trent

[coltsfanatic24]

Walden is not a difference maker. He's average against the run and can't rush the passer. RJF, Walden, Richardson, Landry and Werner have all been bad players with the Colts. Grigson is finally admitting his mistakes, Walden should be the next to go.

 

Walden should only go if we are in to sign a difference maker.

No, but he is solid So why cut ties unless there is a chance to bring in a really good player.

[backshoulderfade]

I'm sure Trent will make a great starter in the Fall Developmental league or whatever its called.

[coltsfanatic24]

He's not solid, Walden is a below average player. Newsome is solid. The defense seems a bit too old to me, need to get younger.

Wow.

[nburgmei]

My prediction is that he goes to the Patriots and sits 3rd string until he plays us and whips out 200 yards and 3 touchdowns...then back to Patriot's runningback obscurity.

[Superman]

This guy has a total lack of self awareness.

 

Every other back on the roster has outproduced him. "Team fit" is NOT the issue.

I demand a 'we released Michael Hill' thread. TRich is old news!

If true I lost a ton of respect for TR

Not against the run, yet. Bottom line is unless we are going to get someone who will command a bit of money there is no point letting him go.

[Dustin]

Michael Hill is probably a bigger loss tbh. And I'm not even joking. 

[azcolt]

Terrible news. The 49 page Trent thread is gone.

[nburgmei]

What an original thought.

Thanks for the compliment. I always appreciate positive feedback. It's good for the soul.

I'm just sayin, I've heard/read the same thing at least 300 times in the past two months. At least 100 times today already.

 

Put it this way: If we had gotten the mileage out of Richardson that the Internet is getting out of that joke, well, he'd probably still be a Colt.

Richardson said he told Pagano he would fly to New England for AFC Champ, but the coach told him he was going to be inactive no matter what.

 

Richardson going full awol about this.

[OLD FAN MAN]

hoody will grab him and he will do great with a good line and system, another mistake like jerry hughes, we did not use them right and let stars get away

[nburgmei]

This is true, and I agree, but any thread about Trent Richardson on any Colts forum (or any NFL forum for that matter) is not likely to produce much in the way of "original thought." It's at least better than "he sucks, good riddance."

 

If you want original thought then head on over to a Chip Kelly thread. His unpredictability is bound to produce some interesting musings.

He was suspended. Why would they have him fly in?

[Superman]

Yeah, I'm getting a little worked up myself. The Colts stuck their necks out for him, and never said a bad word about him publicly, and then he badmouths them on the way out the door... The gall!

 

The only way Richardson is the starter for his next team is if he goes to the CFL. 

[Hammer]

watch the patriots pick him up

I hope so. That would help a great deal in our quest to unseat the Pats!!

So he's going to the CFL? There's a semi-pro team in Bloomington, he could probably start for them

[jvan1973]

No he isn't a below average player

[NewEra]

He needed to be much lighter than 227. He had zero explosion. He was a turd sliding down a wooden board with zero vision. You are aloud to bounce it to the left or right if your hole is not there.

[jvan1973]

He isn't going to the patriots. But I hope he does

[Warhorse]

The silence that will ensue will be healing beyond imagination. 

 

Having to read the constant negativity on here about him has been far more painful to experience than the player ever was. 

[Superman]

Wow.

 

As if that wasn't bad enough...

 

with zero vision

 

 

Goodness. 

[Superman]

I hope someone claims him -- a guy can dream, right? -- then we don't have to worry about the nonsense with the void and the inevitable grievance. 

 

And then I wake up.

[bestQBever]

sorry bout your username brah.

[TKnight24]

Hopefully we're clearing up cap space to sign Knighton or Fairley.

Knighton going to Skins

[bestQBever]

what...The whole point of letting them get away is that they didn't fit our system. If we kept him, he would have continued to stink it up. If he goes to a new system and somehow succeeds... great. We're not gonna change our system just because one guy can't get it done.

The thng is, you didn't HAVE to read it. There was a specific thread for venting about Richardson. So if you felt you had to read it, you must be a masochist....
