Need to stick with Dalton until he implodes. Young is not ready yet. Let him learn and study more.

Problem with this idea is why go all in and trade future picks? They could have just went with Dalton and then picked from the many good looking QBs in next years draft while not giving away picks. This group has made misstep after misstep under Tepper. Hard to see them getting it right without pure f'n luck.

We didn't draft Young to be good immediately.  We drafted him to be good for the next 10-12 years, (if he works out).

Huddle the last four years: Why do we keep taking retread QBs from other teams and expect different results? It’s time to get our own guy and develop them for the long haul. 

Also Huddle after 2 games of a rookie and 3 quarters of Andy Dalton: I’ve seen enough, let’s play the guy who has been on 4 different teams the last 4 years for the rest of the year.

It wasn't their D. The 12thvman deserves game ball. 

It’s was their D that allowed Frank slightly more success than we had been having with his whack scheme and our talent. Seattle’s D has been a dumpster fire through 3 games. Notch Rd , Lexington,

But I do agree home field and noise aided them big time today.  Like it always does.

Wish I could pie this 100 times.

    • 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.
