A first time HC coming in trying to rebuild everything that was torn down by the previous regimes would get a lot more slack than Frank Reich and his all star staff who were brought in expecting immediate results.

Self-awareness is not exactly a strong point on this team.

We were never really as good as they believed we were last season under Wilks.

Reich can go, getting rid of him after a year won't deter people, Texans had two one and dones in a row and found their way to a near ideal situation.  Its not the ever growing impatience, it's the involvement.  

But there will be a guy who doesn't mind it and I imagine it could be another type that wants a lot of control and $$.  Who that is, we may not like or may not be ideal, but it's the corner we're in.  

Doubt we're getting Ben Johnson or any of the young promising coordinators.  

Juast hope we clean house GM, scouting dept, and coaching staff and redo this from the ground up.  We're stuck with Tepper so we'll just have to roll with his next overly involved gamble.

...better than Tepper. Not well enough to be a real contender though. Of course, we are in such a terrible an awful state that just about anything would be an improvement.

The biggest hope I have heading into next season is that we added Adrian Wilson to the front office.

He came aboard too late to really have an effect on this past offseason, but with a full offseason to work next year It might be different.

The Texans hired a former player who loved the organization.

I don't know that we have anybody like that in the pipeline, although it kind of fits our current coach 😕

I'm a fan of Reich, but he's disappointed me a lot this year.

The biggest problem is is attempt to force a scheme on personnel that don't fit, but I'm not happy with some of the depth chart decisions either.

All that said though, Florio is right. As long as Tepper is running things the way he is now, it's not going to matter.

Oh yeah Tepper sucks and we are screwed.

We tried the dinosaur version who could implement a dated, 00s' San Diego Chargers offense.  

Original word was that Tepper wanted an established head coach.

At some point, the story became that we wanted a young offensive mind.

Then we interviewed the young offensive minds (except Johnson) and suddenly everything changed.

Hard to know what to believe at this point, except that it sounds like chaos.

I'm honestly approaching a point of near total apathy.

I have ideas about what I think should happen and shouldn't happen, but I'm not terribly passionate about them anymore because I'm not sure it matters.

      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.
