Wentz had to wait until we put in the 2nd and third string to move the ball at all.

Sorry you can shlt on the win all you like, but there was a lot of good stuff today.

Ron left his entire first string in until they scored.... they had a grand total of four yards vs our first string D and a turnover.... "Backups didn't have any pressure" dude can't help but clown himself... 

 

Baker played a great drive Sammy got a TD starting in the redzone.... it was 10-0 when are starters sat.

thats where you are wrong.  Rhule had the contract and the goodwill to do something like this 3 years ago.  Instead the dumb motherfuger thought our roster was good enough to win and..........well you know the rest of the story.  Certain situations can be baked in for a guy to take his lumps but like you say they at least have to play to take said lumps. 

 

In short rhule had golden opportunity with his 7 year deal but like most things he totally fuged it up

Ok, yes. Rhule specifically had that unique opportunity.

Who should he have picked up year one?

I would have to go back and look but instead of darnold in year 2 he had his pick of jones or fields (who I wanted).  He could have bought himself crazy time by say picking fields and then sitting him for a year.   He would then have at least 2 more seasons and who knows past that.

 

edit- just looked at the 2020 qb draft   ooofff that is ugly

 

edit again to say - I am not suggesting sitting fields, I think he can play, just saying rhule could have done this and nobody would have batted an eye.

I agree there. If Fields or Jones turn out to be good (or at least better than Baker) Rhule’s goose is cooked. And maybe even Fitts.

If Fields, Jones, and any QB we passed on this year turn into something…yikes.

I guess you told us....thank you for that detailed analysis...it sure has changed my opinion. I now think of Baker as the best QB in the universe thanks on the insights you provided. I am a much better fan now because of it. 

Glad to have helped! Enjoy your improved fandom, it should help win the Superbowl, for sure.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      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.
