    Honestly, I think we're pretty well setup to just go BPA. Outside of double dipping at QB or taking a kicker or punter not much else would shock me at #39.

    He's on a one year prove it deal. He's literally betting his career on A) staying healthy and B) the success of a rookie QB. I'm sure Reich sold him on his offense and Chark's role in it. Chark had been pretty vocal about wanting to stay with the Lions. I'm betting we simply offered substantially more $$$.
  3. LinvilleGorge
    I'll be thrilled if Chark finally stays healthy and proves that he can be elite but the he's here because the Lions gave up on waiting for that.

    Wentz' best was quite a bit better than Cutler though. I agree that Cutler is probably his ceiling. Darnold is his floor. He just reminds me a LOT of Sam Darnold.

    We'll see. "Winning" the off-season oftentimes doesn't translate to winning on the field. I'm hopeful but I'm not crowning anybody just yet. It all ultimately comes down to how well this QB selection pans out. These guys have hitched their wagon to this pick with that trade.

    There's probably a minimum post count to be able to PM. We already know you're @mrcompletely11. Just cyberstalking @Verge

    I can. Thielen is a 33 year old short term stopgap. Chark is an oft-injured talented guy on a one year prove it deal. Hurst is knocking on the door of 30 and can easily be cut after two seasons. These FA signings are about short-term bandaids. The draft is about long-term solutions. I would imagine that the offensive skill positions are very much on the table at #39.

    We definitely needed another thread for people to argue about Young vs. Stroud. Thank you for addressing this need.

    We should be setup to be able to go straight BPA in the draft after we pick our QB.

    Sent you a PM

    Yeah, injury situations are just different. The only way I consider a guy a bust due to injury is if he had major injury red flags coming into the draft. I still don't fault the player for it but in those circumstances you do have to fault the GM/team for it.

    Trevor Lawrence is already great but Cam was only good...
  13. LinvilleGorge
    I honestly wouldn't consider Wentz a bust. Before the injuries took their toll he was MVP caliber.
  14. LinvilleGorge
    Manning (two rings), Roethlisberger (two rings), and Rivers are all three HOF locks and are "good" while Vick is "great"?
  15. LinvilleGorge
    Kenny Pickett and his baby hands are the only thing that comes to mind.
  16. LinvilleGorge
    It was a joke. Like the idea of trading for Sam Darnold and negotiating against ourselves. That was also a joke.
  17. LinvilleGorge
    He measured in at 5'10". Bama had him listed at 6'. Bama had him listed at 195 and he weighed in at 204 but won't get back on a scale since. I honestly think the dude is probably around 180.

    We traded real assets for literally the worst starting QB in the NFL in recent years. There was nothing smart about that. Now the new Jets QB might be the worst starting QB in recent years. Hell, know what I'd do? Find out who the Jets' QB1 is and definitely NOT draft that guy.
  19. LinvilleGorge
    You hired these guys to do a job. GTFO of their way and let them do it. They're not the ones that have made all those miscues, that would be your previous mancrush.
  20. LinvilleGorge
    When you collapse from exhaustion from trying to carry the weighted vest Bryce Young wore at the Combine weigh in.
  21. LinvilleGorge
    I honestly have no idea. It would take some REAL brass balls to take him #1 overall over Young and Stroud.
  22. LinvilleGorge
    If we were seriously considering him with a trade up to #3 we should still be seriously considering him at #1 IMO. If you think this guy has what it takes the physical talent is completely undeniable.
  23. LinvilleGorge
    I really wish I had a crystal ball here. I think Young is the better QB but with his unprecedented size concerns is the gap between him and Stroud wide enough to take that risk? I honestly have no idea and I'm glad it's not me having to make the call.
  24. LinvilleGorge
    Have they specifically said that? What'd they say about Tua? It's impossible to watch Tua getting ragdolled and bodied and not have serious concerns about Bryce Young.
  25. LinvilleGorge
    Before I spend the #1 pick that I've mortgaged the future of the franchise for I'm finding out how much this dude weighs. Even if I just flat out had to tell the kid at our meeting that if he wants to be the potential #1 overall pick he better step his ass on that scale.
