    Would you please link the every thread comment? thanks in advance.

    this is the 3rd thread at least that I have seen you go homo in. just keep your comments to yourself or pm me if you have something to say.

    STOP de-railing a legit thread that has NOTHING to do with you. K? Cool. Get off my nuts and if you want to talk about Trent Richardson, go ahead. Until then, STFU.

  • Adrian Peterson, in terms of breakaway speed, is on another level than TRich. Thats not even debatable.

    But, thats not "that" important. Its no fair to compare the 2 backs, at this point.

    Adrian Peterson is very underrated now, and I cant see how people compare the A. Fosters, CJohnsons, and L. McCoys to him.

    The Vikings offense, with AP, is the MOST boring and predictable offense in the entire league. AP really earns his $$, and I hope he rebounds well.

    I bring that up because Trent Richardson is the same type of workhouse back, with adequate enough speed to take it to the house. The only real difference between the 2 is that Trent isnt out running anybody in the 1st half. Hes gonna beat you up first.

    Next to Luck, TRich was the next sure fire selection, maybe even just as valuable, for the Browns.

    Okay, since this is only the third thread I have responded to, then I find it strange you can say I stalk you and derail all your threads .... but then again your threads suck so I am glad I didn't post in more. GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree. I think Trent will be a star and he was one of the safest picks in the draft.

    Doesn't mean he is comparable to Adrian Peterson. Peterson I think is hands down the best RB in the NFL and is truly a special talent. A potential Walter Payton/Barry Sanders type all-time great. Peterson is that talented. Only thing that can stop him are injuries.

    He does have injury problems, thats one area TRich has the upperhand advantage, at this point in both of their careers.

    The Vikings absolutely kill AP though, they are seriously trying to turn him into Jerome Bettis. Their offensive gm plans suck.

    That and AP has issues with fumbling the ball as well. I'm not saying that AP isn't a great back but he does have issues with fumbling the ball as well.

    their offense sucks. They don't have a QB. Their OL is now old and gone. Kalil was a MUST get and they got him, so he should help there. Their WR's are meh. I like Percy but he is more of a slot guy, not really a go-to guy #1 on the outside like.

  • Sorry Trent is great and all but he isn't an AP IMO. AP has agility that Trent doesn't have. Guess we should find out but AP could run you over and juke you out of your shoes. Trent is better at catching but the same at power and less in agility.

    clap And TR doesn't have the speed of AP.

    True...doesn't have the fumbling issues either, though.

    AP is Trent x2... No disrespect to Trent. Trent was the best football player in this draft, imo.

    But, to compare AP with the Vikings, of now, to Trent with Bama just isnt fair.

    I think Trent will be a franchise player though. But, AP is something else.

    I'm trying to compare them when they were both coming out of college. Not where AP is now.

    Oh ok, then yeah its close.

    I just hope the Browns keep drafting on the offensive side of the ball.

    They should take a long look at Randle. He's gonna be legit, imo, with a qb.

    Trent is right back in the "SEC", of the NFL, in that division, lol.

    I agree. Luck is a once in 15 years type guy (would have been taken 1st over cam last year) and TR is once in 10 type guy.

    I read that pretty much every scout has graded out Richardson just as high as they graded out McFadden and Peterson when they came out for the draft.

    Richardson has no flaws in his game. None. He is elite at inside running, i don't remember him getting chased down from behind more than once or twice, his pass protection is beyond elite....watch highlights of the Bama vs. Penn St game from 2010, TR punishes linebackers on the blitz. His pass catching is top notch as well. Additionally, TR never fumbles. He had over 620 touches in his career and had 1 fumble his freshman year.

    He's worth what the Browns gave up

    Im in the minority, I know, but Minnesota shouldve took a long look at drafting TR. Then maybe come back and fight back up to take Massie or the Stanford OT in the 2nd rd.

    I understand they got AP locked up with a big contract, but will he be the same coming off the injury?

    I would be concerned with the offensive scheme that the Vikes run. Its pretty much the same offense Pittsburgh ran with Bettis.

    Luck is once in 15 years? I disagree, Stafford was only drafted 3 years ago. Luck is a really good one though.

    I like TR though he is more like a once every couple of years kinda guy, IMO. He isn't as fast or agile as AP, but he is more powerful and hopefully more durable. I have a feeling that he won't look as good as your review there says in the NFL, but he will be a key piece for the Browns O for a long time. Especially since they don't seem to be able to draft a decent QB.

    Jim Brown's words not mine. I disagree with Jim as I think Trent is a stud, but hey #32 the greatest RB ever so if he sees something I don't, who am I to disagree?

    Woah woah woah hold the phones...did you say ''best running back ever''??? Barry Sanders is the best RB ever. Bottom line. End of story.
