I understand your apprehension due to this being a Tepper hire. But while you're being dramatic let's not pretend like pairing Bryce Young with Mike Vrabel was a guaranteed recipe for success. Either way whomever was hired was always going to have their work cut out for them because we picked the wrong QB and now we're left to salvage what we can.

I’m not advocating for Vrabel bruh

And you can’t even fire him early. This is why once I figured out Bryce probably isn’t the guy that we were going to be 2 head coaches away. The next 2 seasons are already over for us. 

If you improve everything around him and BY is still the issue he’d get his chance with his own QB before getting canned.

this. he's worked miracles with geno and baker. if canales can't get it done with bryce, it can't be done. after that, the QB whisperer gets his choice of QB.

better than a retread. I've been wanting a young, innovative, offensive mind, and he seems to check that box. a lot of folks wanna rag on tepper / the panthers / this hire and say he's unknown, hasn't had much success yet - but in reality he has been in the league for a while now and had success at every stop. he was there during the Seahawks entire reign of domination, and he had those receivers, Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, David Moore looking like all pros. He then shifted to re-igniting, or igniting Geno Smith's career in general, which still to this day is kinda wow to me. He then went and did it with Baker, which is a really close to home sample size and enough to say - well this is an upgrade. he seems like a breath of fresh air, but I will let it play out before I get too ahead of myself.

everyone keeps saying bring Mike Evans, I say he goes after his boy DK Metcalf instead - I'll take it off air.

Hopefully they’ll grab a later round or udfa qb that he has some interest in. Dalton is cool as the vet but he’s gotta be able to find someone more fitting than Jake Luton for camp

Baker had similar stats to what he did as he did in 2018 and 2020. How is that a miracle 

best in the league last year under pressure. that's baker mayfield...best in the league under pressure.

that's a bit of one. also he had one game at Lambeau field where he had a perfect rating. no big deal? he was the first ever to do that. baker mayfield...first ever to have a perfect game at Lambeau field.

the parts where he was at his scariest, he became more than competent. he became good. 

buy it or not. i don't care, but there's plenty for others to see where canales has helped immensely with both baker and geno. 

not excited? fine.

hate it? fine.

constipated? fine.

am i delusional? maybe, but that's fine as well.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      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.
