2012 was supposed to be the next step in the revival of the Cleveland Browns. A franchise that, and just ask their fans, won many NFL Championships...but not a Super Bowl, yet. While the franchise has been terrible in recent years, productive drafts and natural improvement gave the team hope. Injuries may have derailed that...for now.
Trent Richardson, the All-American, Doak Walker Award winner out of Alabama, was supposed to help lead that charge. You know, the guy they traded up to #3 to select because they wanted him so bad. Well, a second knee surgury has cast doubt on his immediate future. The offense in 2012 would have been centered around Richardson, believe that for a fact.
Throw in the offseason injury to DT Phil Taylor, the Achillies injury to Chris Gocong, and now a possible 4 game suspension of Joe Haden, the teams best defender, 2012 is looking uglier than 2011...is that even possible?
I watched nearly every down of the Browns in 2011, much to my regret. That team was bad. Face it, they stunk. The offense was complete garbage. But 2012 is another season, with hope. Let's just hope there is hope...
