of course that's what most of us are saying. most of us are being quite reasonable about this. some think they might draft a qb, some dont want us to. in fact, i dont think anyone is advocating for it. all im saying is that there are reasons to do it, even if i dont think they will and that its more likely that they wont.

no, you cant draft a qb because holmes was on the rams when they traded for goff. should we keep going with this obnoxiousness?

No, we can never draft a qb because jared goff was a #1 pick once.

we can never draft a qb again because we didnt draft justin fields.

your qb is always more talented than the college prospect because he's on your team. if your team drafts the college qb, he will instantly become more talented because now he is on your team.

as has been said many times, we all trust holmes to make the right decision. if he thinks one of the qbs will help them in a couple years, then he'll take one. if not, he wont. im fine with either decision.

they didnt take fields then because they wanted to put a better team together before they drafted a qb. no need to take fields and put him behind the 8 ball so early. its also possible they thought fields had trouble processing and didnt want to take the risk. those are two theories ive heard. and just because they passed on fields two years ago does not mean they wont take another qb now. its a different situation now.

also, stafford is more talented than goff, imo.

if you can get better production for less money (MUCH less money), you should do it. again, im not saying they should, but im sure theyre thinking about it.

i think he was really good against washington and seattle in the first half and bad against dallas, new england, and not that good against green bay and minnesota. he played really well in the second half against everyone but the jets, but they have a great defense. lots of qbs didnt play well against the jets. i just dont think jared goff is the kind of guy who is going to single handedly win you a game. he was a solid qb last year, especially against weak defenses. that's not damning with faint praise, its good to have a decent qb who can run your offense and make the right decisions. but i dont see goff as an elite qb. he's kirk cousins. he's solid. the question is whether you want that much of your cap tied up in him?

its like the argument that jared goff was good for the easy 1/2 of the season last year so the lions shouldnt think about upgrading the qb position for the next decade. i actually like jared goff, but if you think richardson is going to be a really good qb and be better than goff, then you have to consider drafting him. i still believe the plan all along was to draft a qb this year or last year and let him sit behind goff for a year or two to develop. last year there was no one worth investing in, this year there might be. goff's contract is up after next year, so it would be an ideal time to have a younger, cheaper qb take over. otoh, goff played well enough down the stretch to perhaps indicate he would be worth a "kirk cousins" type $50 million a year deal. i can see both arguments. they saw florida play a bunch of times. they interviewed richardson at the combine. they brought in hendon hooker for an interview, theyre obviously thinking about potentially taking a qb.

because richardson is the best athlete (athletic score wise) at qb in the history of the nfl. his ceiling is 2019 lamar jackson in a league that is turning more to running qbs, and a team that is built on running the ball. the lions likely wont be picking this high (or have the chance to trade up as cheaply) as this year, and if you are going to draft this high you need to swing for the fences on a player with the highest upside, and that player is anthony richardson because of his athletic ability and his position. there are plenty of downsides too, but that's the argument for making the pick.

youre going to be so excited when the lions trade up to 3 and so upset when they take anthony richardson.

betrayer must be so happy. if there was a time to make a move, it was now. kenny atkinson would be at the top of any list. i know belien bombed out in cleveland because the players sabotaged him, but the dude can coach. an overlooked assistant might be a good choice. udoka would have to be at the top of any list too.

faedo isnt any good. he's a aaaa pitcher at best. maybe gets a middle relief run and does ok. he's not a major league pitcher. meadows, otoh might be something.

john beilein.

go raptors!

where is minnesota's coach in all that? how do you let happen?

and so it ends. not with a bang, but with a whimper.

exciting to watch the last game of this season. best part of the year is stacey king convincing himself the bulls are a title contender.

those states have warmer weather and - except for cali - lower taxes. burbs are burbs, imo. living in a city with public transportation has spoiled me. i wouldnt want to live somewhere where i have to drive everywhere all the time. that really limits your options in america. of the cities ive been too, id rather live in detroit than vegas, houston, anywhere in florida, albuquerque, cleveland, louisville, oklahoma city, anywhere in louisiana other than new orleans toss ups: philly, atlanta, LA, pittsburgh better than the d: dallas, san francisco, boston, new york, portland/seattle, san diego, charlotte, new orleans. i'd love to live in san diego if i could afford it. alas...

agreed. and its going to get even worse now.

there are nice suburbs in every city in america. detroit's arent better or worse than anywhere else's. you can find nice places to live there if you look for them. but as a calling card for athletes? with michigan's weather and high taxes? i doubt it.

i dont care. i would never offer that to begin with. that would be really stupid.
