Motown Bombers

If the Lions drafted Tua, they would be in the same position they are in now. A QB who is on the verge of free agency that people aren't sure they want to commit to.

Purdy got injured because a pass rusher got through the offensive line and hit his arm. The 49ers went through like 5 QBs.

I think Brees is a good comp to Goff. Brees didn't have elite arm talent or was the most mobile. he was, however, one of if the most accurate passer of all time. People forget that Saints offense was very good at running the ball and wasn't exactly a downfield type offense. Strong running game and efficient intermediate passing is Goff's wheelhouse. I see a lot of that in the Lions offense last year.

I don't buy you can't draft a RB because their careers are short. Todd Gurley had a short career, even by RB standards but I doubt the Rams regret using their 10th pick on him. If you can get an elite player for 5 years I think I take that. Roster turnover happens so much in the NFL. This team will likely look a lot different in 5 years.

Ironically it's possible the Lions trade up to 3 given they would have had 7 and 12 to offer and Garoppolo would be looked more as a bridge probably than Goff.

I have to wonder how much better off they would be if they traded for Stafford? Garoppolo plus the 12th pick and additional 1st probably gets it done instead of three first rounders for Lance. I never liked Lance. He's Anthony Richardson before Anthony Richardson. He wowed with his physical ability but he played at the equivelant of a DII school for one season. Everyone got enamoured with the physical talent.

Another one of my favorite arguments is Goff doesn't do well without a good offensive line. It's easier to draft lineman than it is to draft QBs who can thrive without an offensive line. Going with the expectation that we want a QB without a good offensive line is Stafford 2.0 where we don't win a playoff game and see him go somewhere else and win a Super Bowl.

If we build a roster like the 49ers we can afford to trade multiple 1sts in the future when the time comes.

Given how red West Virginia is, gridlocking the liberals can have its benefits there. With Feinstein unable to vote, Democrats only have 50 votes so one of Sinema or Manchin defecting blows the whole thing up.

The three players taken after Rosen were Minkah Fitspatrick, Vita Vea and Darron Payne. All Pro Bowlers. If you look within the next 10 picks after Rosen you have such players as Tremaine Edmunds, Derwin James, Jaire Alexander, and Frank Ragnow. You even have some solid contributors such as Marcus Davenport, Kolton Miller and Lieghton Vander Esch. Literally all 10 players drafted after Rosen have been better players.

Kahn was also very concerned about his status and I could see him wanting to be at Mar A Lago. At the same time, he felt the people who would surely be MAGA like Bill were beneath him. Ultimately, he wasn't as successful as he pretended to be which is Trump in a nutshell. If they rebooted the show, everyone cannot be MAGA or else it wouldn't be entertaining. I could see Hank being the never Trump stuck between MAGA's like Bill and his son Bobby. In some ways that's kind of how the show was.

Goff has been extremely durable his entire career. Drafting a backup at 6 is a waste of a pick. Stroud isn't going to have any trade value if he's just sitting on the bench. No one is going to give a 1st round pick for Jordan Love for example. You draft a QB at 6 to be your starter and start soon. A QB taken in the top 10 is also not cheap. You're going to be paying about $7-8 million in addition to Goff's salary.

I lean towards the former since he has a history of playing that well over multiple seasons such as 2017 and 2018. This isn't a Geno Smith situation where he's been a terrible QB and journeyman his whole career and breaks out at age 32. We've also seen QBs peak, decline, and peak again like Stafford. There's only a handful of QBs who are elite every single year.

Substitute teacher of the year. She taught Spanish so that doesn't fit with MAGA. Luanne would definitely be MAGA. I remember one episode where she became communist so she's easily persuded. Lucky wouldn't be involved in politics. I'm not sure about Kahn. I could see Dale blaming them for COVID. It's so nostalgic to watch King of the Hill today and see how bat**** crazy the Republican party has gotten.

Do you trust Manchin and/or Sinema to suspend the rule?

I so want to see a reboot of King of the Hill in the age of Trump. I think Hank would be a never Trumper. He would always say that boy aint right but always come around. Dale seems like the natural pick for a Trumper but he seems too libertarian. I think Bill would be the MAGA. He seems like one who could easily get caught up in the MAGA cult. Peggy too.

I'm not sure why Newsome wouldn't just pick someone like Barbara Boxer as a placeholder. Someone you know won't be running again and won't influence the election. California has already been represented by a black woman so I'm not sure why he has to play these identity politics.

I don't think Hank Hill would go for that I'll tell ya what.

I've read multiple trustworthy people say there needs to be 60 votes to replace her on the comitte even in the event of resignation and the Republicans will block it. I assumed the Democrats would have been able to just fill her seat.

So what happens if Stroud good? Do you draft another QB?

I only watched the Michigan game and wasn't impressed. He seemed like Goff and I wonder why we don't just keep the real thing?

When I lived in Detroit, we had someone tried to break in through a window. We didn't have a gun but the guy was tampering with my sister's window and she screamed bloody murder and the guy ran off. It got to the point where we didn't answer the door if we weren't expecting someone. This was before doorbell cameras became common.

If you're talking about Manchin, plenty of people were criticizing him. AOC immediately comes to mind.

Even if Feinstein resigns, Republicans will block her replacement on the committee. The only option is she has to show up.

They sure can ban woke when they cannot say what woke is.
