Can we just get a subforum for folks like this so the rest of the fanbase can live here in reality?

Also quoted out of context. Lovely stuff.

The reality that his OC is now a QB Coach (i.e. he was massively out of his depth) and the iOL couldn't block anyone? Sure.

Is there a chance we meet with him again...I can’t believe Tepper would just role over like this. 

Lol I wonder if Tepper’s the type to hold DeShawn’s hand and whisper “I love you baby” while the Saints and the Falcons have their way with him.

Sam Darnold sucks. We have 4 years of statistics and tape to prove that. Are you stupid or blind?

What was reported yesterday? Personally, if I’m the Texans I’m not taking a package that’s way less than what Carolina offered.

I exaggerated a bit with the Daniel Jones part but it was like 3 1sts (which are obviously late 1sts) and their guard Ruiz.  That was it.

I for one am fine with Watson going elsewhere. I don't love he is going to be a divisional rival but with Brady back we aren't going to win the division with Watson this year anyway. I would rather have Mayfield if reasonable or get a rookie and keep building. Get rid of Rhule and shoot for 2023. I know I am in the minority  but this is one time where losing out could be winning.

Anyone who thinks Darnold can be a competent starter on a good team at this point is an utter moron. He will be lucky to be holding a clipboard in 5 years. More likely to be selling insurance.

He still threw horrific passes into triple and quadruple coverage. He was also the worst in the league from a clean pocket. But keep the faith I guess.

I love the impatience of the huddle, and the constant "I'm done with this team" posts when you guys know damn well as soon as we pick top 3 next year and take a franchise QB you will all be back and pretend like it never happened, just like with Cam in 2011

    • 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.
