I used to love Allan Houston, I was so disappointed when he left for the Knicks. Its a shame nothing came of him and Grant with the Pistons. One of the best young duos the franchise ever had.

Not sure if it's been posted anywhere or not but Goff has been placed on the Covid list. The tweet I saw was from 14 hours ago so it would have been effective yesterday. I have no idea how the rules for that work now but is it possible he can still play on Sunday?

Yep, virtually every young qb that has succeeded the past decade came into situations that had pieces already around them. Whether it be Jones, Herbert, Murray, Mahomes, Lamar, Burrow or Josh Allen. The ones that were forced to start with a bare cupboard have naturally struggled, that's why Im loving what the Lions have been doing. If they can get another solid receiver through the draft or FA, particularly one who can play on the outside then whomever comes in should have the pieces to succeed from day 1.

It really wouldn't effect the Lions per se, but if it were to happen it would be the only thing that might make me regret losing the 1st pick and that is if by some chance a team falls in love with one of the QBs and Jax gets a haul for the 1st pick kinda like what the Eagles got for the 3rd pick last year. Missing out on a couple extra 1st round picks would be kinda hard to swallow. That's a complete longshot of course but you can never discount how desperate a team will react to a qb they love and want to ensure getting.

I think the Bills are missing as well. It's funny you think with Detroit and Buffalo playing on the Canadian border they could atleast get to be part of Canada.

A few weeks ago people were bitching about the Lions losing every game and saying it doesn't matter if they pick 1st or not cause there isn't an Andrew Luck or Trevor Lawrence in this draft. And of course like clock work when the Lions win a couple games and start to look better those people mock them for screwing up their draft position that didnt matter a month ago but now suddenly they are going to miss out on some franchise altering talent in their eyes.

Nice to see Bey play a little better the last couple games. Aside from the record his regression has probably been the most disappointing thing about this season.

Goff has looked better since coming back from his injury which kinda makes me think he may have been injured most of the season and just didn't tell anybody which could explain the lousy play and extreme reluctance to throw anything over 10-15yds. He may not be the long term answer but if he continues to play like he has the last few weeks I think he could be good enough to start the next year or possibly 2.

I wonder how many other Lions got this message after yesterday's performance?

This was the first time the Lions and Pistons won on the same day since November of 2017.

Also I might add that IF they do fall in love with 1 of the QBs they may be better served just using their first pick on him vs. trading assets to move up or risk not getting him at all.

My point was that even if they don't end up with a top 5 pick next year and miss out on a Bryce Young or CJ Stroud there will likely be a bunch of other guys that are just as good as this crop so why waste a 1st round pick on one now if you're not convinced in them or even worse trade assets plus use a 1st round pick on one? Now if they fall in love with one of them that is a different story but otherwise just wait and draft one another time. Hell there is nothing that says that you even need to draft one, who knows a year from now what QB will be unhappy and we could possibly trade for.

Not that the pundits grades mean everything but if you want to believe what their grades are on this batch of QBs than you can almost guarantee there will be atleast a half dozen next year that have equal or better grades cause virutally every year there are that many that have higher grades than the best this year.

To me the most important traits are accuracy, defense reading and how quickly you can move off your first read. That's why I loved Mac Jones so much and a big reason why I feel he has had success from day 1. Yeah your arm strength and 40 time may be what scouts drool over but those don't translate to the NFL if you can't do the things I mentioned above.

With the SS market heating up at the time and guys flying off the board the Tigers probably didn't want to wait around and play games with Correa and end up with nothing. Perhaps now that they secured Baez they may be more willing to play the back and forth game with him when the CBA gets settled.

Yeah that probably would be the best fit, got your potential qb and if/ when Rodgers leaves the division should be wide open. The only downside is that it is a pretty demanding fan base so if he struggling by midway through the 2nd year they will probably be calling for his head.

Or after the Lions are guaranteed the 2nd pick one of the qbs breaks out from the pack and a team(s) falls in love with him and give the Jags a bounty for the 1st pick to ensure him.

Bold strategy Cotton..

The thought of Alaskans and Montanians(is that what they're called?) Searching baseball reference is even more hilarious to me.

If I were the Jags I definitely be trying to get Harbaugh but I like to think that Michigan is going to offer him a Godfather type offer and for better or worse(if you're like Tater or TP) he's going to be a Michigan lifer.

Im old enough to remember when people were concerned with him with some even throwing out the potential bust tag.

Lol at Shoeless Joe Jackson for Tennessee and Hank Aaron for Montana. Also love the randoms like Mondesi for Mississippi(I presume he has some ties there but still weird) and Yelich for Alaska. Atleast Yelich is a name player but still what makes Alaskans like him so much?

And another one bites the dust, Hockenson done for the season.

Of course a lot can change by the time of the draft but it's a little disappointing that there isn't that many SS on the list.
