smith doesnt have the best reputation already.
i have a hard time putting these guys in the same bucket as a normal business interview or normal business relationship. football is a sport and emotional and physical. this isnt an office job interview.
its not the first time he's failed in the playoffs. its happened multiple times. in fact, the time he succeeded and won a championship (because of giannis) is the real outlier.
hopefully we get to the point where the pistons have enough spacing to draw other people away from the basket and stew can muscle and hustle people down low.
grant williams would be fine too.
hopefully stew can be kevon looney.
wiseman had great coaching in golden state and couldnt do ****. so thosr great coaches gave up on him. i agree with you that casey sucks, but i think this is all on wiseman. he's young, dumb, and selfish.
seattle beat detroit. that's why they made the playoffs and detroit didnt.
all we needed to do was make geno and seattle punt.
once.
and we couldnt do it.
goff and geno both have questions to answer this year. i dont think that's a controversial opinion.
as long as ben johnson is here, i think goff will be a fine game manager, which is what they want him to be. dont turn the ball over, manage the game, dont put the defense in a bad position.
we got smoked by carolina so i better not see anybody put carolina below us! lol.
i actually think carolina will be pretty good this year, but will be held back a bit by the rookie qb.
i think wiseman is less than worthless. he's a net negative, especially given his salary. terrible, atrocious pick up by weaver.
unless, like you say, it was a stealth tank move. given his love for worthless bigs, i doubt it.
geno smith is being asked that question. so is goff. goff was awful for two years and was one of the most turnover prone qbs in the league, and then went the second half of the season without having a single turnover. is that repeatable? probably not.
the lions and seahawks are in the same tier, imo. they both have weaknesses. the lions have brought in some players to address the secondary weakness, but havent really addressed their weakness in stopping the run.
12-11-1 is mediocre at best.
lions should be favored to win the division on paper, after that? who knows?
we focus solely on the lions. other teams added players too.
