:eek::eek:

if that dude's attitude can be brought under control we need to have him here.

just get him to take his aggression out on the field against the other team instead of his own.

that would be flat out awesome.

He wouldnt be the first Panther with such issues.

Steve Smith has an attitude which has been suspect in the past. Smitty has broken two jaws since being a Panther. So I don't see the point of the argument about attitude. If Shaun Snith gets out of line, the Pantehrs wouldn't hesitate to cut his ass

The Reward, IMO outweighs the risk iin this situation

Can we afford him? We can't get in a bidding war- but we can probably guarantee he'll start. I'd love to have him.
he had a $1mil one year contract with the lions. his off field problems are going to make him cheap.

only thing i could tell is that the lions didn't like smith yelling at the browins GM while smith was wearing a lions uniform recently.

mangini was the idiot that cut him from the browns. he got into it with the DC there. last year he also supposedly punched brady quinn in the face while they were in the weight room but, honestly, who hasn't wanted to punch quinn in the face?

    • 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.
