MichiganCardinal Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Based on this, I think it's going to get done within the week. More likely he doesn't want to risk a freak injury occurring and costing him tens of millions. I agree though that anything bad for the Packers is good for us. I hope talks deteriorate. I'll also lol if Love gets more money than Goff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) I’d love for the Packers to have to commit that kind of money after only 1 year. How many young QB’s have we seen have 1 or even 2 great years and appear to be the next great one only to quickly fall back into mid tier territory shortly after getting paid.

I'll admit that Love worries me. He was great down the stretch last season, and if that becomes the status quo, they'll have seriously done it again. But, it's not a given. As you said, QBs come on the scene, look like the next great thing, and then fizzle out all the time. Tim Tebow, Mark Sanchez, and Rex Grossman all won playoff games too and were believed to be the next big thing by their franchises at one time. Lucky for those teams though, they didn't have to make a long-term commitment to those guys. Because they were smart enough not to draft four years ahead.

Hongbit Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Any info on why Manu ended up on the NFI list? That seemed to be a bit of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) My Lions jersey history consists of the likes of Charles Rogers, Kevin Jones, Boss Bailey, Kennoyt Kennedy(remember him?) and Ernie Sims just to name a few. They of course all ended up being busts and off the team within 2 yrs of me getting them. My only luck has been with the team stalwarts like Barry, Calvin and Stafford. Anytime I tried to be different and stray away from the top names I got burned. Edited July 24 by RandyMarsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Rod Wood made a comment this week that Allen Park will remain the Lions home for a long time. Sounds like the idea of exploring a new facility is dead. A likely casualty of the pending Sunday Ticket penalty that all the teams are going to have to pay in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Trent Williams now holding out until he gets a new deal. Nice to see some drama from other NFC contenders meanwhile we have little to none since Brad took care of all this **** in the offseason.

MichiganCardinal Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 That’s too bad for Badgley. I’ll never forget exclaiming “I didn’t know he could do that!” When he kicked a 54-yard field goal against the Rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 That sucks for Badgley. Always feel bad for a guy when he gets a significant injury like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
