There are related threads, but there are no threads on "an owner having balls" and there is no thread on Suh being the recipient of a cheapshot....but nice try.

Idiot threading a needle now to prove himself right.

Detroit Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh on other end of cheap shot? - NFL Videos

It is okay against him. Hell Suh would be susspended by now for that!!

On the surface he seems worth it, but why are the Browns already cutting bait with the guy they moved up to the 3rd pick in the draft to take before last season? That's a huge red flag if I'm the Lions and coming off a 4-12 record to boot; it's not like were looking at a late 1st round pick...

This is not the new regime's pick. People felt they should have sold the farm for RGIII from 4 to 2 but got beat out by Skins and went from 4 to 3 and got Trent. RB's go much later these days. People feel ( media clowns) they should have drafted else where and went RB later.

Truly for what they gave up to move up and then only getting mid to late 1st rounder back. I do not see it as a owner with balls at all. browns are out 13.8 mill and Colts 6.6 mill and a 1st round pick. They have Trent for better part of 3 seasons for under 7 mill. Not balls good move for a team with playoffs on there mind and no starting RB. Win now mentality!!

Very compelling argument, but I'm glad it's the Colts and not us who made the trade. I don't feel like we missed out at all. We have far bigger needs than a decent-to-good young RB...

The jury's still out on Trent. Wasn't the Brown's OC that draft Brad Childress? Time to clean house, take as many high picks as they can get because it looks like the QB pool next year should be bountiful. After losing the first two this year, might as well just take what they can get now to build a team around.

Anyone think the Browns now try to trade for either DeAngelo Williams or Jonathan Stewart (despite his injuries)?

We should give them Leshoure and a 3rd for Josh Gordon.

Josh Gordon I heard may have yet another dirty UA

Not a big Josh Gordon fan, yet it has some merit. They'd probably want to make it a conditional second (i.e., if we go to the playoffs, a second, if not a third, something like that). We do need a second legit threat on the field more than an insurance policy on the bench.

Have a clue...that is not your thread starter.

Whatever...I am a Colt fan since Unitas and like the move. I forgot the last move W.C. Ford made that I was as happy about. Ballsy because everyone knows he wasn't traded due to lack of talent.

So trading for talent is "Ballsy"? What's trading for no talent? A no-brainer?

Ballsy because of the unreported actual reason he is being traded.

This is what happens when you change GMs in the middle of the season. That's why you wait until the year is over. Much less likely to pull crap like this.

That being said Leshoure is most likely on the block and yes Gordon would fit nicely here.

 

[gandydancer]

I see no balls involved. If I am a GM and can get the #1 (Luck) then the next year get the previous #3 overall for just a #1 pick. NO balls!! Just brains. The balls was trading away undoubtedly your best talent and know you can keep your job.
Whether Browns have first pick or someone else. The Browns will sell the farm for Manziel or Bridgewater, and yet still not have a RB!!

I hope you are right...I love the Colts...If he turns out a headcase or similar then, well...
