We've been 'building a culture' for years now. It adds up to 5 wins.

It honestly just makes me sad. This sport was made for grass.

We're also years into high draft picks.

The Lions also have a difficult schedule. We're going to have a hard time finding a quarterback this off-season that doesn't require making a huge trade.

He figured out that a 2nd, a 4th, and a 6th was worth it for Darnold. Along with a contract extension. Personally, I think I would have had more spine if I was in his position. Would you really go along with such poor decision making? I would rather risk the ire of a coach, then have that on my resume.

I would also like to add that I think it will become much harder in the near future. Quite a lot of legends are ending their careers currently.

Okay, which was the first real tank then? Because from memory they were on the 5 win treadmill that we're not on for the better part of the past decade.

They tanked, trading Jamal Adams and it's paying off. After years of mediocrity, they finally got out of it.

Why the hell would he do that? This is perfect passive income. This place runs itself, with minimal upkeep. You have volunteers to be janitors, and we sure as fug have enough controversial takes, threads, to keep people clicking.

Those aren't mutually exclusive. We're talking about this year. Though, I feel you're putting a lot of faith in the guys that looked at Sam Darnold, and thought he was not only worth being handed the starting job, but also worth a contract extension, and the cost of our 2nd, 4th, and 6th round picks. If the Panthers make it out of this year picking out of the top 10 then I wouldn't be surprised if we trade multiple first rounders to move up for a quarterback. They've thrown everything else at the wall, and nothing has stuck. I see Fitterer as a gambler, and I think he would definitely be inclined to make that decision.

Yeah, it's scouting. But it's impossible to scout a player that isn't available at your selection.

The weird anecdotes of teams that draft a quarterback high and miss are really disingenuous. Of course, teams draft busts, it happens, and as we all know the further you're pushed down the draft board the less likely you'll be able to make the correct choice.

It's working right now. They're winning, and still have a bounty of drafted players developing.

Wilks will make a great foil for next year.

We're going to win the division with 6 games, get blown out in the playoffs, and get right back to the quarterback purgatory loop. If we do, I think Tepper will keep Wilks as the head coach, but really as just a foil for next year. We're in the cycle. Lose, but not quite enough. Pick top 10. Draft anything but a quarterback, until your hand is forced. Lose, but not quite enough. We're the new Jets.

That's the problem with not having a quarterback in this league. Everything is catered to having star one.

Should have played for Temple like his boy Robbie. Might also have a little to do with the offensive coordinator that pushed for his selection being the scapegoat.

Chiefs beating the brakes off them.

Oh yeah, definitely have an agenda Mr. Alt.

But the Lions keep losing.

That or the 49ers losing directly benefits the Carolina Panthers.

Yep, stats are cute.

Yep, that's Christian. Lots of pretty stats.

The trade is starting to look like a fleecin'.
