Motown Bombers

Lets start with Alex Smith. The Chiefs gave a 2nd round pick for Smith when he was 29 and signed him to an extension. He played four seasons for the Chiefs before they drafted Mahomes when Smith was 32. They comitted to Smith and after a while moved on. It's not the same. The comparison should really be with Alex Smith and Colin Kapernick. I have no idea if Smith asked out but it worked out better for Smith and the 49ers fading into irrelevance for a while. All indications were that Favre was not happy with drafting Rodgers and it wasn't a clean break between Favre and the Packers. You also didn't mention Rodgers and Love. Rodgers has the Packers by the balls and they wasted a 1st round pick on a guy who started one game in three years. They now have to decide if they want to pick up his 5th year option.

You said you wouldn't draft a QB in the 1st round but then said what is wrong with a little competition meaning there is merit to drafting a QB in the 1st round.

2022 was the prove it year for Goff. He proved it. Well, we need another prove it year. In the meantime, we're going to draft your replacement just in case.

Who drafts QB in the 1st round for competition? It's weird there was never this drumbeat for drafting a QB high when Stafford was 28.

And if he does, the Lions wasted a 1st round pick on a backup QB.

Was Stafford a little bitch when he asked to be traded?

Because it means the Lions aren't committed to Goff and he will be looking over his shoulder like he was on the Rams. It means he isn't getting a long term contract from the Lions. If I'm Goff I expect the Lions to come to me to discuss a contract extension, not my replacement. Goff is coming off a Pro Bowl season. He doesn't need to be someone's babysitter.

I think Carolina would be a good fit for Goff. Have Reich as head coach, familiarity with Staley, a solid team and the favorites to win a weak division.

The reports I was reading say they were weaving in and out of traffic and even going the wrong direction at some points.

If I'm Goff and the Lions came to me like that, I would tell them I want to play for another team where they think I'm the future. You accomodated Matthew Stafford in his request so honor my request.

If I were Goff and they drafted a QB in the 1st round, I would ask for a trade.

I've also read Ramsey wants a new contract. No thanks.

Meanwhile in Michigan they're giving everyone civil rights.

Is Hooker even going to be ready by the start of the season? You would be drafting a backup QB who has more of an injury history than your starter. You would still need to go out and get a backup.

The progressives candidate finishes 4th behind Lightfoot.

Best line I've seen about this race: "Chicago police are going to have to throw away their Let's Go Brandon stickers now."

I remember when Obama said Fox News was not legitimate and Jake Tapper lost his shit over it.

My dad had 5 DUI's by 1980. He lost his license in Michigan, went to Minnesota and got a license using a relative's address, lost that license and went down to Florida and got another license. He worked at a Chevy dealership during the muscle car era and would take customer's cars and drag race them. Drinking and driving has been going on since cars and alchohol were invented. My dad was able to get away with it for so long because they didn't have the systems we have today to track when people have their license suspended.

Wasn't the other driver who caused the crash and the death? I'm kind of surprised he isn't looking at a longer sentence, especially since it appears he may have lied to police.

I still think Carter goes in the first round. Maybe not top 5 anymore but top 15-20. If he isn't actually in prison someone will take him in the 1st. He may be available at 18.

The backup QB for the Chiefs was Chad Henne and the backup QB for the Eagles was Gardner Minshew. Mahomes got nicked in the playoffs and Henne led them on a 98 yard TD drive. They don't need to draft a backup QB.

It's being reported he's wanted on misdemeanors. Doesn't sound like jail time.

Apparently it's misdemeanors so likely no jail time. Still not good.

Maybe McShay was right after all.
