Really Cam? Donkey Kong Suh?

Here is an article from 2011 after one of Suh'a blatant cheap shot from 2011

http://www.chronicletimes.com/story/1790678.html

The Detroit Lions defensive tackle Donkeykong Suh has used up all his Cut-Me-Some-Slack cards from this cowboy's parlor game.

That's right the Donkey Kong Suh nickname has been around for years and years. It was even used before this newspaper used it in 2011. They ripped it off too. Cam Newton put little effort into mocking the media. His nickname wasn't even original. We deserve more! We deserve better. What is Cam going to do next....call Johnson Megatron! That too is so unoriginal. Yes everyone already calls Johnson Megatron. Which is clearly implying Calvin is evil incarnate and wants to kill every human on earth.

Quit mailing it in Cam. How dare you mention a recycled nickname that has been used since Nebraska. We need to see some effort

Oh no we get it.

Well no one has mentioned media outlets and fanbases have used it for years.....especially the media and fanbases reacting presently. Thought it should be mentioned. But I also haven't been on to read through the Suh threads and wasn't going to waste my time reading on a made up story

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
