I'm sure y'all have seen this before but I can't believe teams are still giving Richardson a chance. I have nothing against Trent and it'd be a cool story if he turned his career around, but he's a terrible running back. When you're best statistical season sees you average 3.6 YPC I don't see how teams keep giving him money.

:LOL:

I agree. Crazy.

I liked Richardson coming out, but I'll chalk him up among the worst players I've seen fail to transition to the pros.

In an unrelated story, all teams are now required to wear scratch and sniff jerseys.

If I were an OL, I'd be awful mad at that pic... Some RBs make mediocre OLs look good. Some RBs make decent OLs look bad. Richardson is the latter...

That hole should have been an easy TD.

I've seen that and I think it's kinda sick. The kid needs to come to grip with his disability. I also think it's messed up to make other kids tackle and block a blind person.

Yeah. For those of you that watched the video, and saw that poor blind kid running aimlessly on the field looking for someone to block, (after you thought, "his technique is a bit like Craig Dahl"):

  • If you thought: "Awe, how nice that they are including him!" ...you probably have a BERNIE2016 bumper sticker on your car, and agree with Participation Trophies.:rolleyes:
  • If you thought: "This is political correctness taken to it's sick, but logical next level. We are in end times." You are invited to my house for a beer! :cheers: and toast to the end of sanity, as we know it!o_O

I recall many people raving about Trent Richardson's physical gifts entering the draft. I even recall Fisher smiling at one of his workouts. I wonder if he was ever close to being a Ram.

How did his vision go to shit? It didn't seem that bad in college. Or was that Bama line so good that the hole that the play called for to be open and Richardson to run through, was always the one the line actually opened?

Yep I think he was mocked to us a few times, and the dude looked good! I wonder what happened?? He definitely did a Foles and lost his mojo somewhere...

His vision sucks and he doesn't have a good work ethic. He was incredibly overrated in college because of his O-line. He is very talented physically but he doesn't have what it takes mentally.

What kills me is BOTH OL opened up YUUUGE holes for him by NFL standards. Crazy big holes....and dood's not even close.

I just want someone to tell him, "when someone said, 'the light at the end of that tunnel...is an oncoming train', well, that was a joke. When you see a big hole, RUN TO THE LIGHT!!!"

How bad must those Monday morning film meetings have been? Sitting there after a loss, OL all beat up and you got 40 yards on 13 carries even when they opened up holes like THAT.

I'm pretty sure I'd think about another career, cuz I dunno how you sit in a meeting like that.
