NYLion Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 17 hours ago, Jason_R said: First two games last year he had 200 rushing yards on 20 attempts. Philly is feeding him more but everybody knows he is explosive. The bet was that he could be replaced by someone as explosive, more durable, and not in line for a new contract. He almost had 200 yards rushing in the last game alone. Great offensive line as well as weak opposition and all but he's absolutely killing it right now. He's not keeping up this pace but he's an added big weapon that was donated to one of the Lions biggest competitors. Was a future 4th as opposed to a slightly less return elsewhere really worth it? I can't imagine that Philly was the only bidder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe insight into why WCF Jr. didn't remain at the top of Ford Motor Co for very long, but honestly Millen is a very smart guy. Bob Quinn is a very smart guy. Matt Patricia (we're told) is a very smart guy. Doesn't mean they were good GMs or Coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intelligence doesn’t necessarily equate to leadership on the coaching side, or the football acumen on the management side. Patricia was a terrible leader who commanded no one’s respect. Millen couldn’t find talent if it slapped him in the face. The problem with WCF wasn’t one of only looking to intelligence though. Hell, Ben Johnson has a degree in mathematics and computer science from UNC and is also a very good coach. WCF’s problem was he only looked for people who he liked. That was literally the only qualification to be in the Detroit Lions organization for over 50 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy was insane but kind of like a bad car accident you couln't help but look. Moss was a guy who wanted to be in Sports Radio and when he didn't break through (it's hard as hell to break through) he went on personal revenge campaigns that, to me, bordered on stalking. Digging into people's personal lives. He was (and is) unhinged, and not in a humorous way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Russo comes to mind. Chris Collingsworth has employed his entire family just based on being the most annoying person ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Norman's profile pick was literally Martin Mayhew lol. I stayed around to take my lumps on Connor Cook and saying Matt Stafford wouldn't make a deep playoff run or win a Super Bowl.

Rumor is that he was too much of a partier/playboy to be considered to run the car company so they bought him the Lions (to avoid the public asking 'why isn't he moving up in the company?') and as unsuccessful as the Lions have been with W/L, they printed him money, while the auto company went though ups and downs for decades. The Spanos family cried poverty and loses money with the Chargers. How much do you have to suck to lose money with an NFL team? Just pay them and send them on their way and move the chargers back to San Diego. If only to bring back the damn disco song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was mostly a baseball guy but I'm not impressed with his homework anymore. Maybe I was not as deep into baseball then but I remember Pat as being pretty knowledgeable about baseball once. Not so much anymore. For various reasons I have been stuck in a car on Saturday mornings in recent years so I've had the 'opportunity' to listen to him again and I can't say I still think he is actually up to speed with Tiger issues. So hard to believe he's working any harder on Lion's issues. Edited September 28, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
