If The Season Ended Today

To be honest I don't expect us to finish nearly that high. Our defense alone imo will win the panthers 2 to 4 more games against teams with similarly poor qb play.  Probably another 5 win season and picking around 6 to 12 again. 

No we won’t only scoring 3-10 points    We are the worst team in the league.

I think the best move they made was hiring Nick Sirianni.

For all the jokes about how hoofy he looked and sounded in his early pressers and the chuckles about him using rock paper scissors to test players competitiveness, he's proving the doubters wrong so far.

Shane Steichen is the one who deserves the credit, but Sirianni we'll get it. Let's not forget that the Eagles stripped Sirianni of playing calling duties only four games into the season last year.

That's how you raid other teams right there. 

Saints (Loomis) reached out to them. It was that whole deal flip that everyone got worked up about here that the Saints were gonna jump us to grab a QB. This was during the period where there were actual people thinking Malik Willlis would go 1 overall.

Fair point, but you also have to credit Sirianni for hiring Steichen.

One of the things I always do a deep dive on with potential head coaches is who their potential assistants might be. It was a big reason why I was high on Nate Hackett. He had connections through himself and his dad to build a staff of super well-established coaches.

Instead, he went and hired a bunch of guys who weren't anywhere near as experienced as he could have, with more than one being completely new to their role 😕

I do give him credit for hiring a coach to help with game management. That probably required him swallowing his pride, and not too many NFL coaches are big on doing that.

Granted it's still early, but that's definitely not the only thing he needs to fix.

I’d take Anderson and pair him with Burns before drafting Young. 

Young scares the hell out of me.  Stroud is crazy good.  I watched Levis on Sat and I cannot figure out what the knocks on him are.  Too old?  McCall is putting together an insane level season as well.  

We stay in the top 5 then we will have options.  After the meat of this upcoming schedule I think we will know if #1 pick is obtainable.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • 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.
