You don't need a stacked roster but you do need a decent one and decent coaching helps too. It's weird how only the QB carries a W-L record. Stafford actually has a very good track record of 4th quarter comebacks. You can only do so much as a QB when you're up against more talented better coached teams week in and week out.

He has had more than enough decent rosters to deal with people just don’t pay attention to Detroit that’s much so they just assume it’s the same ole lions every year  . I just checked their record and they been more consistent record wise than we have during his tender there which is weird  . You know why QBs carry that W-L record it’s the same reason they get paid more than everyone else even when it’s not worthy . It’s not fair but that’s the culture the nfl created

Yes, being in EVERY deal may not be wise, but then again has this new ownership shown us any business smarts on the football side yet.

Yeah they giving me doubts with the teddy contract now this with the number 8th pick . We desperate and it’s obvious . But i understand every team need a franchise guy .

Remember that stretch between '15 and '17 when the Browns only won four games over the course of three season? Yeah, that's how bad the Lions would've been without Stafford.

I agree but they didn’t win with him  . May as well lose without him and replace him. My idea of a franchise qb differ from most i. You don’t need a stacked roster to win games esp if you’re franchise QB that’s just my opinion . I like Stafford but he came up short his whole career . Nice arm and he truly talent it’s just too late for me to give up 8th for a 33 year old . Is it super bowl or bust for rams next year ?

I’ve never seen a team that sold a rebuild so hard “can’t build a winner overnight” try so hard to win overnight. Makes me think they’re just flying off the cuff with no real long term plan on how to build this team. Teddy didn’t make sense here and neither does Stafford. 

Good point the whole teddy and his contract over cam really made me question the front office big time . But the Stafford thing make sense just not at the price we were trying to give up . Yeah idk . We seem desperate instead of being calculated

Good question--they have many needs.  I would try out Goff knowing I had enough to trade up next year if he does not work out.  But it sure does not sound like he had much value.

Yeah I’m not sold on the lions committing to Goff until they come out and say so . I think they just did rams a favor and that’s all . I would still draft a top qb 

So glad they got this over with tonight . I was getting tired of even imagining us giving up a first rd pick and then some for Matt Stafford . Rams have fun with that . Thinking you’re just a QB away always come back and bite you in the ahh smh 

Man that’s way too much to give up for Matt I’m sorry . Watson gonna cost us 5 first rounders now lol . The rams gonna be setback so many years after Matt retire sooner than later . Wow . 

Matt Had Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones as his wideouts in det 

i don’t see him coming here and lighting it up all of sudden just because we have Dj Moore and Robby Anderson . That’s a push . Those guys are just as good . Plus he 33 not every qb is gonna age like Brees Brady and Rodgers and even if he does he’s not even on their level .

most of yall are selling Stafford way short, he is an elite QB in this league and  the Panthers would be very lucky to have him. Also he will only be 33 next season thats relatively young for a QB in the NFL

Elite qbs win playoff games as well in spite of their team. Elite hell no. Good hell yes .

He wouldn't have played over JT Daniels. 

I think he would’ve . Did you see the other two guys that started over JT Daniels before he finally got a shot ? 

Keith Taylor & Dez Fitzpatrick are the two guys i didn’t know about before this week . They both got me interested  now . I pretty much knew everyone else who balled out . 

I’m cool with this just don’t involve the number 8 pick. Two second rd picks is where I’ll start and stop at .

From what I read, Leatherwood didn't have the greatest practice week either.

Yeah it wasn’t bad but it was no where near impressive . He got the ability just look like he need to work on his feet . Can be a solid RT 

Only lineman i would want from our side is Trey Smith . Those bama boys were not bad but didn’t dominate like they suppose to . Leatherwood don’t look like he can be a LT at the next level . 

All the guys that performed well in practice is doing just as well in the game funny how that works huh

Pocket presence and holding th ball too long. Gotta step up and get rid of it. 

He don’t belong on the field with these guys he look lost. I’m glad he played tho cause a lot of people wanted him in the mid round . I wouldn’t touch him after this week . Opt out really hurt him 

Jamie Newman been losing money all week sheesh 

Man i just love draft season .

Dez Fitzpatrick been routing guys up all week . Late round sleeper 

Nice drive mond. Finally got Shi Smith and Rodgers involved . The best playmakers we have

Am I the only one looking forward to Book? He looked solid in practice all week and we could take a late round flier on him. 

I’ll take him in the 6th or 7th rd .

their poor performance is not on our coach

looks like he separated the wannabe paycheck collectors from the players

Yeah idk the other side just look like they have way more juice . Kj Britt the only guy i seen playing worth a damn . But the second half will tell the full story . 

Just now, Scott12345 said:

has trask played yet?...newman?

Trask didn’t even practice . Newman hasn’t looked good at all . Threw picks every single practice . Now he in the game can’t even get a throw off . Team overall look like they don’t wanna be there maybe Thule did coach these guys too hard for a exhibition game
