best player in the draft.

terrible play by raymond and its 1-0.

jalen carter's talent is what this team needs. but....

my first real lions memory is monte clark on the sidelines watching eddie murray wide right.

i'm only 50. so for me its been 50 years of hurt.

i'll believe the lions are better than dallas when i see them actually beat dallas. its hard not to be optimistic about the lions, but i temper my lions optimism with 50 years of hurt. "one lion on the shirt...50 years of hurt..." english people will catch that reference.

"mr vatai? there's a brad holmes on the line to speak with you..."

spending too much time in a bears forum is bad for your mental health.

you answered your own question in your second paragraph. other than mcneil, theyre weak at defensive tackle. they dont have an established outside receiver on the roster. linebacker is below average. qb is average. on paper, they have a strong running back room and a strong oline. an effective game manager at qb but no backup. an excellent slot receiver and a potential burner on the outside. they have depth in the secondary but no #1 corner. they need young talent at cornerback. they could use another receiver. they need a run stuffing defensive tackle to play alongside mcneil.

dallas and philadelphia ahead of them too.

duren got 8 minutes. is he hurt or did bagley take his time?

what if they dont feel its a down year for qbs? just sayin... mosely and cgj are on one year deals, okudah's fifth year is not going to get picked up, the lions will be drafting a cb this year (maybe two). just a matter of where in the draft. they also still have a big hole at defensive tackle and can use another linebacker. and for the love of god please sign someone to play backup qb. like mc said, this is the first time in ages they seem to have a real shot at the division, lets not ruin it with goff going down week 1.

interesting... how did edvinsson look yesterday?

it means mcs is high again.

you could get.....teddy bridgewater.

yes, better to resort to the feelings of the mob on the internet. that always works well.

let us all say a prayer for edman tonight.

i dont want to break the bank for a backup qb. it would be nice to have a solid backup you could trust. as san francisco showed last year, if you have a good OC and good team structure, you can put a decent game manager at qb and be fine. that said, i'd feel a lot better about it if teddy bridgewater were the backup than nate sudfeld or some rookie. just because goff has been durable for his career doesnt mean he wont get injured. its football. i dont want one bad hit to ruin the lions best chance to win the division in a decade. heck, the way the rams are going, stafford might end up a viable backup for detroit this year...

that's what he signed for? sheesh, did the lions give him the michael corleone offer?

2021 class had the top 3 being qbs and the niners trading 3 #1s. that was pretty close.

we still need a backup qb. for all holmes' talk about it during the offseason, they havent done much yet. who is left to sign? bridgewater? wentz (lol)? mitch!

i think its more likely that qbs go 1-4 and seattle takes wilson or carter. historically, carroll likes big defensive ends. i read that somewhere, i have no idea if its actually true. if so, maybe they like wilson? if a guy's comp is ziggy ansah is that a good thing? ansah was decent but always hurt and there seemed to be a significant motivation issue there. is a healthy ziggy worth #5 or #6 this year? and remember, seattle signed ansah after the lions let him walk.

that made me smile.

ive never seen someone so excited that czarnik might play...
