The lack of leadership is right on the roster list (Years Experience)

I will say, simply being a veteran doesn't make you a leader but if you sort our roster by NFL experience, holy hell is it telling.

Our most senior vets:

1. Cam Newton - 11 years (mid season pickup who we unceremoniously kicked to the curb.  We were left needing to bring him back because we suck)

2. Patrick Omameh - 9 years (who the f*ck is this?)

3. Matt Barkley - 9 years (mid season pickup, trash journeyman with a big arm)

4. Willie Snead - 7 years (mid season pickup, journeyman WR)

5. Matt Paradis - 7 years (Riding out his final year into the sunset on his absolutely average play and average salary for a starting C) 

6. Ameer Abdullah - 7 years (mid season pickup due to injury, dropped by the Lions)

Other 7 years: Cam Erving & John Miller...puke

So there's our senior crew.  Our esteemed veterans the young guys can learn from.

Pretty great right?

Thanks Rhule.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree. The primary issue in this regard isn't the player roster.

Do the same thing with the coaches and their years of NFL experience and I think you'll find the root of the problem.

I think it’s a problem with that considered. If I’m a green coach, with a green OC, I’m getting a few vets that at least know what they’re doing.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
