It will be cheaper next year to get Cam a LT than draft a QB

You're not the first person to suggest something so dumb, so I'll assume most people don't actually believe that and  are more the "keep Cam at all cost to stick it to The Haters" camp rather than any honest assessment of where Cam is or what the new coach wants.

Cam or no Cam another QB is being drafted soon regardless. You don't need to litter these yawn inducing hot takes because we already know you have a weird cringy bias toward him. As far as the future if he isn't healthy enough to be the starter moving forward in the offseason then he won't be here. It's as simple as that

Draft a LT you still have Cam Newton to throw the ball. Draft a QB you will still need a LT and have a Rookie. Just saying moving forward we need guys who can do the basis. That's block and beat the blocks. 

you dont know sht about how the draft will fall...how about get the ball out 1.74803940 seconds after the snap like 90% of the south does....fk the line.

Because defenses are strengthing their secondaries and LBs to be able.to react to the ball coming out quick.

The better the line the more depth your receivers can get.

Our line is really only.allowing really short to intermediate area routes to get open.

We're one dimensional. Our o-line needs to be better.

your fanatical obsession with me crossed the line from weird to psychotic to boring so many posts ago

This narrative that we need to just invest in the offensive line is so tired it's exasperating. We "invested" in the offensive line last year just to jog your memory. Unless you think making the o line 2 of our bigger free agent signings including the highest ranked free agent center from the previous year, as well as picking O line for 2 of our 7 draft picks, including a trade up for one of them, is neglecting the position. The O line is only 5 of the 22 (or 24 counting special teams) starting positions, and as bad as the entire team has looked, we can't pretend that's the only position we can afford to invest in.

Also, how easy is it to get a quality lineman? The overwhelming majority of big free agent signings are regretted almost immediately. We don't have to go far.. just look at our last 2 biggest signings in Paradis and Matt Kalil. Just ask their teams how happy they are with the contracts of Nate Solder and Andrew Norwell. And don't get me started on the draft. Is there a position that busts more often than offensive tackle? How many top 5 picks have washed out of the league? Guards seem to do much better and if you want to argue for us to spend a pick or two on the interior, you won't get an argument from me. But I think between Moton, Little and Daley, you roll the dice with them at tackle and assume with another year in the scheme and improved health, you can be at least competent at tackle. Having guards and a center that can hold their own will make them look better too. 

While I agree, I can see a situation where drafting an oline in round 1 and jalen hurts in round 2 is a good setup for us.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
