That was also before they made other moves such as trading for AJ Brown, signing Bradbery etc. I wasn't sold on them mostly because of Hurts but fair enough.

Jason_R Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Rod Wood throwing Quinntricia under the bus: Quote “[Sheila Hamp Ford has] been great. She obviously worked closely with her mom for a few years but wanted to kind of do things her way without turning the apple cart completely upside down. She’s been here regularly. She comes here at least usually two days a week, meets with everybody. Certainly, she’s present, people know who she is and she knows who everybody else is and that’s a big thing. And then her work really to kind of tear apart the culture that she inherited with Matt (Patricia) and Bob (Quinn) and how do we get this right? And really kind of looking at, you never really know sometimes until people are gone how people really feel cause there is this power structure, and no matter how much people may trust me they’re probably not going to come here and tell me something if their boss is between me and them. “I think we got a lot of direct feedback from people that they were probably hesitant to share and that informed us a lot on what we didn’t want and how we were going to go about taking this culture to a level where people are feeling like they’re all part of the team, and they matter and their voice matters. And Sheila was an important part of that.” https://www.motownlions.com/2023/03/05/detroit-lions-president-rod-wood-talks-calvin-johnson-and-why-ticket-prices-went-up-a-bit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree. I mean, how much better would it have been if instead of: "And then her work really to kind of tear apart the culture that she inherited with Matt (Patricia) and Bob (Quinn) and how do we get this right?" He'd said: "And then her work to really get the culture of this team right. How to really dig in and get the place working together and pointed forward?" No need to specifically throw shade at Matt and Bob... no reason to call out past sins... just focus on the good stuff going forward. Honestly, given that you were responsible for bringing in Matt and Bob... you probably shouldn't focus too much on how they failed and set the team back.

Whatever one might say about Wood, my takeaway is that anyone and everyone seems to go out of their way to say how much they hated Quinntricia. This level of hate, and this breach of customary decorum is unusual. Typically, when a regime fails, people treat it as the less said the better. But everyone really hated Quinntricia so much that they can’t let it go or feel obligated to distance themselves. Quinntricia’s failure was remarkably thorough.

Motown Bombers Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I would go all in on Matt Gay. The Lions are the favorites to win the division. Now is the time you can spend money on a kicker. Matt Gay is also young. I want a reliable kicker if I'm trying to compete and win playoff games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Wasn't Wood the one who came out and said he wasn't qualified for the job in his opening presser? Those comments are as much deflecting blame away from Martha Ford and himself for that disaster as it is throwing shade at Quinntricia. Throwing more garbage onto the dumpster fire that is bad things to say about Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia is easy. Taking accountability for your part in giving that dumpster fire free reign over your organization on the other hand........ Getting us the Draft in 2024 was cool. I know he's telling the media that he's lobbying for us to play the Chiefs in Germany next year to hold off on "hosting" an international game in 2025. Assuming that's a directive from Brad and Dan (it makes sense), that's also good. Stick to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygoat Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 7 hours ago, Mr.TaterSalad said: If Jones is getting this kind of money to resign, what is Goff going to get? Depends on whether they extend him before the 2023 season or after, and if after, it'll depend on how good Goff was in 2023. If the Lions wait and Goff puts up numbers similar to 2022, he'll be looking for $45-50 mil/year. Joe Burrow is a UFA after the 2024 season, so Cinci will look to extend him after 2023 at the latest. His next contract will be the one that really resets the QB market moving forward, and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets $60 mil/year. If you can lock Goff in around $40 mill/year now, I'd do it, but I like Goff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I think that comment got way over blown. Don't get me wrong... it was an utterly stupid comment to make. But he wasn't saying he was an idiot, he was trying to say that while he didn't have extensive Football experience, he was so tied in with the Fords and with the Lions that he had the knowledge and passion for this team and the connects necessary to make it all work here. Now even that's not a LOT better, but not quite the same as saying: "I'm totally unqualified for the job." Quote Those comments are as much deflecting blame away from Martha Ford and himself for that disaster as it is throwing shade at Quinntricia. Throwing more garbage onto the dumpster fire that is bad things to say about Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia is easy. Taking accountability for your part in giving that dumpster fire free reign over your organization on the other hand........ And that's my biggest problem with his comments. You were the one who hired them. You're comments about Shelia inheriting a bad culture is totally deflecting away from the idea that you were the one who hired and installed the people who made the culture bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Did Rod Wood hire them or did Martha? I feel like Martha was bamboozled by Ernie Accorsi who spoonfed her his former Giants connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Martha was bamboozled by Ernie Accorsi who spoonfed her his former Giants connections. Hmm... valid question. I suppose given his direct ties to the Ford Family and lack of football executive experience that he probably wouldn't have gone against Martha if she was insistent. We'll probably never know if she or he was the driving force or if she or he didn't like Quinn and actively sought to stop it before being overruled/talked into it. So maybe it's not fair to blame Wood for Quinn... but I'll still stand by my earlier point. He didn't need to call out and throw shade on Quinn and Patricia to get his point across about Shelia.
