One of....the best...He's in my top five. At 5'-8" and 200lbs. and in ten seasons he ran for 15,269 yards, 2,921 receiving, 109 T.D.'s 99 rushing and 10 receiving. He also had a 14 consecutive game rushing for over 100 yards including a few 200+ games in that run. He went to the playoffs 5 times including the NFC Championship. In 1997 he ran for 2,053 yards and had a 5 yard per carry for his career joining only Jim Brown. In 1991 They lost to the Redskins Bowl winners in the NFCC game. After all these years he finally admitted that the lack of winning and the managements lack of putting the best possible players on the field broke his spirit to play.....He decided to retire in his prime.
Have they been to the playoffs since? Yes just once.

MIAMI (AP)—Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth hit and killed a pedestrian with his Bentley on Saturday morning on a busy causeway linking Miami and Miami Beach, police said.
Stallworth was headed toward the beach when he hit Mario Reyes, 59, around 7 a.m., said Miami Beach police spokesman Juan Sanchez. Reyes was taken to a nearby trauma center, where he was pronounced dead about an hour later. He was near a crosswalk but it’s not clear if he was crossing legally.
Stallworth, 28, was cooperating and no charges have been filed, Sanchez said. Officers drew blood to test for drugs or alcohol, which is routine. Sanchez said results from the test could take anywhere from three days to three weeks.
Police would not say where Stallworth was coming from or where he was headed, and Sanchez didn’t have anymore information about Reyes.
Miami-Dade County property records show Stallworth owns two condos in a building on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami not far from the causeway and another condo in a different building in Miami.
A message seeking comment was left on the voicemail of his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
The Browns said in a statement they were aware of what happened.
“We understand the seriousness of this situation, but will not have any further comment at this time as this is an ongoing investigation,” the team said.
Stallworth signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns as a free agent before last season but hardly played because he was hurt. He was due a $4.75 million signing bonus Friday.
Stallworth, who previously played for New England, Philadelphia and New Orleans, finished last season with just 17 catches for 170 yards. He was slowed all season by a nagging hamstring injury and made just seven starts for the Browns.
Stallworth had his best season with the Saints in 2005, when he made a career-high 70 receptions for 945 yards and seven touchdowns. He was drafted in the first round (No. 13 overall) by the Saints in 2002. Stallworth played his college ball at Tennessee.
AP Sports Writer Tom Withers in Cleveland contributed to this report.

If Denver trades Jay Cutler I'm gonna get real sick, just because they brought in an ex-patriot for a head coach doesn't mean they need to start bringing all of New England with him (Matt Cassel)...IMO Matt Cassel couldn't wipe Jay Cutlers ass. Cutler is the future for Denver and if they get rid of him I am really gonna have to start questioning my loyalties to the whole Broncos organization!!!
If you stay ready.....you never have to get ready!!!

Patriots trade QB Cassel and LB/TE Mike Vrabel to the K.C. Chiefs for a second round draft pick and 14.65 million...(Cassel's salary). It has been said that Cassel will compete against Thigpen for the starting Q.B. job. You pay some guy almost 15 million to compete to get the starters job? WTF?
This was 2 weeks ago...
I would love to see Cutler on the Jets. I don't think Denver should trade him, He's the QB of the future there but things do not look good...He may go to the Jets, Titans, Lions, Tampa, Bears or Cleveland? His choices would be Tennessee, Bears and Jets in that order.
