To be fair I believe the Lions have the highest paid offense in the entire NFL.  Does that mean that equals being good?   No, but you would definitely hope they would be.  Not saying that to knock him down at all, just one of many things that have to be considered.

I don't know if that's true or not, but as a counter argument I'd offer this...

He plays a large role in the cap hit, but most QBs do in this league. The Lions have 32million spent on oline alone on their roster for just 2022 (1 million more than on their QB). That's pretty insane. We are spending 18m on ours.

He does have a big cap hit.

He's also not exactly a top ten quarterback.

But hey, Dan Quinn 🙄

Seriously though, I do hope if we get to the point of looking again, Tepper listens to advice from Fitterer and Morgan rather than just doing his own (likely idiotic) thing.

Maybe somebody could also ask Luke Kuechly if he can think of anybody... 🤔

Dan Quinn? Oy….I’m with you on that!!!

You got me intrigued by Ben Johnson. Innovative offensive play caller with extensive connections to the Carolinas. And young…less expensive than Payton for sure. 

I agree that Tepper needs to defer to his brain trust (which is what I guess he was trying to do with Hurney until he found out otherwise) next go-round. And I really hope Fitterer and co. takes their time with all viable candidates to ensure we get this right.

Definitely.

But will he?

Don’t you get tired of Jets , Jags , Browns left overs? But, then again we’re at the bottom now…

We're in a position to look down on anybody?

But seriously, no.

Plenty of successful head coaches have been plucked from teams that weren't winners. Remember, Bill Belichick was technically a failed Browns coach first.

Likewise, several terrible head coaches came from winning programs. Take Matt Nagy or pretty much anybody that's been hired out of Belichick's Patriots tree.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
