If they are calling Stafford a truck then why have the Lions sucked so much?

These analysts don't seem to think before they Tweet sometimes.

Because in real life, everything is on a spectrum.  There aren't just big semi trucks and full length trailers in the league.  There are some QBs that are F-150s or 250s, and they are capable of hauling average rosters (a boat trailer or small pop-up camper for example) behind them, but they can't tow a full trailer (e.g. the Detroit Lions).

Didn't actually mention Stafford at all, just Goff and Wentz.

Makes sense to frame them together given when and where they were taken.

Mac Jones is fools gold I suspect.  He looks good because of the talent around him.  Has Mac Jones ever brought his team back in the fourth?  Has he ever LOST?  I could be wrong, but he hasn't shown any of the things you like to see in a college prospect.  He's a front runner.

I know I keep on about it, but if we're looking at that level of QB, I would much rather us take Trask than Jones if we assume the top four are off the table.  At least Trask has shown some of those things.  He's had adversity.  He's fought.

I really like this as a way to frame QB discussions. There's little argument that Teddy is a Trailer, and one of the big concerns about Mac Jones is that he's going to be a Trailer as well. Fans clamor for Watson because he's one of the very few Trucks on the league.

 

 

Teddy’s not a trailer. He’s one of those removable side rails on the trailer. If you get it secured correctly, it’ll hold everything in. If you happen to mess up securing it, well, there goes your couch, book shelf, and lawn mower lying on the side of the highway.

I'm basing it on the things Jeremiah has said about Stafford recently.

He ranks him 6th coming in to this year with possibly being the best in the league. If that's not this notion of truck then what is?

Maybe we should get some Teamsters opinions for this topic

Teams have to be good to be good. It's not rocket surgery 

It's unfortunately a very simplified way of looking at it, but that's Jeremiah and Bucky all over.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
