Same here. But, I mean it is a 27 point game, even if it isn't something serious why bring him back out

True. I just hope it's nothing serious.

Stafford and McCoy are killing me in fantasy football today.

Wish we'd just put the back ups out there

[KingPG21 6,606]

I really, really, really like Moncrief

I really, really, really like Moncrief

It's still early but I think the Moncrief/Hilton combo is going to make us happy for a very very long time.

This just in...Trent Richardson still sucks

You do know there are other players on the team besides him right?

Also aside from the fumble last week he's had his 2 best weeks as a colt.

His numbers honestly got skewed a bit today late with the two goal line runs with our offensive line again showing their total and complete inability to get a push. Plus Pep still doesn't realize this. I don't get the T-Rich flat out hate he is getting right now from fans. The fumbles sucked, but he has ran and caught the ball fairly well so far this year

[Josh 13,291]

What makes you think he's a good player?

 

Andrew Luck outrushed him again today.  So did Bradshaw.  By a lot.  Richardson gets tackled by the first hit every time.  Not the sign of a good rb.

 

He also misses easy passes (so did Fleener...I know).  How does Luck and Bradshaw (and Brown last year) run effectively behind this offensive line, but Richardson does not?  He's not fast, can't outrun the defense.  He's not powerful, can't get past the first tackler.  He's not a good receiver, drops bunnies.  I ask you honestly....what does he do well??

He wouldn't be in the league if he wasn't a good player.

So if Trent out rushed Bradshaw then Bradshaw would be awful? I don't understand your point there. My point is people cry that he wasn't averaging 4.0 yards a game and all that other crap then when he does he still sucks? That makes no sense.

He also gets hit in the backfield a lot which is on the Oline. You can't compare a QB to a RB so I don't understand why you keep including Luck. Apples and Oranges. Also Bradshaw and Trent aren't the same style RB. What did Brown do before last year?

The Bradshaw is out playing him so he sucks comments honestly make me laugh. Do people not realize Bradshaw was the starting RB on Super Bowl winning teams? He's a damn good running back.

It's not just that everybody else is outplaying him, it's that he's playing poorly.  Comparing him to anybody....he's going to lose.  Just looking at his stats....it's terrible.  So I ask again....what does he do well?

Look at what he's done the last 2 weeks. He's not played bad. No one is claiming he's a great RB, but he's definitely better than a lot of people say he is. He's gotten better this season and he's looked better each week.

I ask again. What did Brown do before last year? That was one of your main points but he wasn't that good until last year.

You misread what I said.  I agree, Brown was terrible until last year.  Last year he ran effectively (for the first time as a Colt) while Richardson did not.  What was the difference?

 

This year Bradshaw runs effectively while Richardson does not.

 

If we're giving Richardson the excuse of a poor line, why could Brown and Bradshaw run well behind it?

 

Richardson played badly last week.  Two fumbles is bad.  Terrible in fact.

 

He played poorly this week, dropping easy passes and rushing for a poor average.  What does he do well?  He's a bad player.

You ignored what I said. The difference is running styles.

As I said aside from the fumble. Of course that's bad but in the overall picture he played better.

Did you watch the same game? You do realize he averaged 4.1 YPC right? That's not a bad average in the least. Heck Marshawn Lynch averaged 3.4 today so I'll take 4.1 from Trent any day.

The last two games...as you claim his best two...

 

21 carries for 79 yards, a 3.38 ypc average.  No touchdowns, two fumbles.

 

14 carries for 57 yards, a 4.07 ypc average.  No touchdowns, two dropped passes.

 

That's good?  Wow.

Those are probably 2 of his best as a Colt. 79 yards last week. Also his YPC today was 4.1 which has been the main thing most of you cry about when it comes to Trent. Again it's completely going over your head. KingPG nor I claimed that he's a great RB, but all the hate he's gotten especially this week makes no sense.

Is he not getting better like I said? If you don't think so then wow to you too.

Also I love how you ignored my point of there being other players on the Colts. Seems like you only comment to talk trash about Trent Richardson.

I'm guessing your reply will be something about how awful Trent is and how he's not great(which no one ever claimed).
