Imagine being AP in an interview. “So Detroit had the worst pass defense in the league when you were DB coach, then became one of the best pass defenses after you got fired. Why do you think that was?”

One does not simply sleep over at the hospital for kicks and giggles.

Nobody is automatically assuming anything, but Holmes knows as well as anyone that sometimes the value of the players available is less than the value of the pick. Anyway, he has done a great job of giving himself roster flexibility for next season.

Holmes was also on a staff known for trading away draft assets for the right player. So if he doesn’t think the right player is in this draft, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him trade away assets in 2024/25/26 drafts to get a QB.

Holmes was on the staff that traded up for Goff in the draft, and he traded for him again with the Lions. He believes in Goff. With Goff’s performance this season there is no reason for Holmes to reach for a QB. Also with the team’s overall play Holmes has the luxury of talking the best player available in each of the five picks he has in the first three rounds. They will seriously upgrade the defense and get depth at guard and RB. At this point the key question for next season is not about the QB. it is about the OC. Will he stay or will he go?

Lions have 45% chance to win against the Jets according to his board. These kinds of odds are absurd, IMHO, but it doesn't help the Jets that their QB is spending tonight in the hospital. Also Quinnen Williams may not be 100% next week.

Holmes has this team set up to win the division and host a playoff game next year.

Disappointing.

Same old Vikings.

🤣🤣🤣

Ben Johnson is getting his explosive plays today.

First NFL catch!!!

Yes, I remember, but this is one of those questions a hall of fame voter will have to address in considering the eight QBs of the early 2000s who will be under consideration as of 2024, which is when Eli can be considered. I don’t think Stafford will be in the conversation unless he hits 60k passing.

Yes, and how has Matt Ryan, drafted one year earlier than Matt Stafford, ended up with 10k more passing yards to date?

It’s John Elway. Who played in a different era and is a no doubt hall of fame QB. Stafford is not. But if he hits 60k, that puts him in the conversation with his contemporaries who put up big numbers in the golden age of QBs. At this point, though, it seems as likely that he will never play another down than that he will hit 60k passing yards.

Campbell must have read that thread and really got his act together.

Just for grins, let’s contemplate Detroit winning its last six games, and nine of its last ten, to back into the playoffs, AND coming away with the Rams pick which ends up being #1. A Christmas miracle!

I think he still needs to get to 60k passing yards. Rodgers will get there next season and will be the ninth QB to reach that mark. If Stafford finished his career with the tenth most passing yards — and hit the 60k mark — with a Super Bowl in his first season off the sad sack Lions, it would be hard to keep him out. Also, don’t forget he was QB for two of the greatest WR seasons in history. And the New York media will remember what he did with Kenny Golladay.

The skip! It’s mesmerizing.

Titans need a game changing WR like AJ Brown. Oh wait…

We’ve come a long way from is this guy going to call plays to is this guy going to leave for a head coach position. I see the attraction to him as a candidate but it is a big stretch to go from one season as play caller to HC.

Stafford is at 52k yards now. 11th all time, and 12k behind Rivers, 10k behind Matt Ryan, 6k behind Rodgers. I’m assuming Stafford will need to get to 60k — two more 4k seasons — and one more playoff run to get serious consideration. This would be real hard to carry out but from a narrative perspective, if he came back in 2025 or 2026 to lead Detroit to a Super Bowl he would be in for sure for ending the curse of Bobby Layne.

Six possessions, six scores. 🤷🏻‍♂️

He’ll get a couple of jet sweeps (and will decoy on a couple), and will get one or two quick hitches or WR screens. Probably will run a dozen snaps but if he gets targeted beyond LOS that will be gravy for him.

Well I never saw a fake flea flicker before but we’ll just take the ball back after your little bit of fun there.
