The rest of the NFL is going to improve. There's never a perfect team, teams have to continuously improve their roster at all times. The Lions need to keep their foot on the pedal imo.
I disagree on free agency. Usually, unless big money is used, fa is used to fill holes in the roster. That's how Holmes is doing it. Need a third WR? A backup guard?
That is awesome. I love historical stuff. My great great great grandfather joined the army on the 2nd day of Gettysburg. He stayed in for a month. He got full military honors. He was 52 when he joined.
The Tigers lead all major league clubs in minor league winning percentage, and most important of all, run differential!
Organization Wins Losses Pct. Run Differential
Tigers 346 275 .557 385
I think most teams would prefer HS to college, so they can take their time and train how they want to train, and have more games to play, etc. Financially, it makes more sense at times to draft college players.
