yes.

this thread should come with a trigger warning.

i still think a very likely scenario has the lions picking in the 5-7 range and using that pick, the rams pick, and future first round picks to move up a few spots to take a qb.

anderson and levis may go 3-4.

ivey is not a point guard. cade is a point forward. one bad game doesnt change that.

lol.

exactly. look, the lions need another pass rusher, i get it. but they need a qb more than anything. nfl football is such a funny sport. who would have predicted rhe bears would have a better record than the broncos? the giants would have a better record than the packers?

no way.

i dont think they have a choice but to pick a qb this year. or trade for one. next year should be the year of the first real progress and it is less likely to happen if the qb sucks. luckily for the lions there appear to be a number of big time options at qb this year.

i forgot about atlanta taking ridder. seattle has denver's pick this year and a number of future picks from denver. i wouldnt count them out.

so who needs to draft a qb next year? indy washington atlanta carolina giants (most likely) houston new orleans seattle outside chances: tampa bay san francisco las vegas that's a lot of teams that will be looking to potentially move up and take a qb. it might actually be better for the lions long term to keep on losing. currently seattle has its pick and denver's pick (and denver's picks for a few years). houston has its pick and cleveland's pick (cleveland's picks for a few years). that's a lot of ammo if they want to move up and jump the lions.

they look better on the pk and pp. perron and kubalik have added that shot to the pp that's hard to stop. you see the energy on the pk you didnt see last year. they seem to be pressing higher and more effectively. sundqvist has been a real good addition to this team. dare i say he's been more valuable than nick leddy all by himself, much less with the coming draft pick and potential for waldman.

is berggren still out?

rationally this is true. but the bears are 3-4 with a team that was supposedly the least talented in the league. they just blew out a team that beat us 29-0. the falcons were supposed to be the least talented team in the league and they've won 3 games. hell, carolina is tanking and theyre 2-5. the giants and jets were laughingstocks and now theyre 5-2 and 6-1. when is it detroit's turn? i get it. injuries, bad luck, etc. youre right. but it doesnt make it any less frustrating or any less aggravating to be a fan of this god forsaken team.

stanton?

is there any word on whether swift has stubbed his toe yet? is he actually going to try to play football this sunday?

its not a true statement. even if it were a true statement, so what? theyre the worst team in the league. again. which we all thought was not going to be the case. not even you. its the nfl. these things can turn on a dime. the lions could win a bunch of games and finish with 5 or 6 wins. in fact, that's probably more likely than them finishing with the #1 pick. however, right now it still sucks to be 1-5 and no number of obnoxious, 20/20 hindsight posts or excuse making is going to change that.

bears, jets, giants, falcons, and seahawks were all supposed to be worse than detroit. even carolina is better. once again, we are truly pathetic.

i dont think they can get that much for jared goff and would rather have them keep goff to act as a stopgap for the qb they draft this year. i think that was always the plan and they should stick to it.

he makes $30 million this year. that's pretty massive. he also sucks. but you never know.

no one is going to trade for jared goff and his massive contract. and yes, the lions are drafting a qb this year unless they trade all their picks for lamar jackson.

hutch was invisible from the minnesota game through the pats game and he's the 9th highest de rating? dubious.

pff grades dont make much sense to me a lot of the time.

they are better than last year, for sure. but they've also played a really easy schedule. let's see how they look when the other good teams come to town. to me, they still look like the 7th best team in their own division.
