He played just to get his today.  Then sat.   That ain’t being that dude IMO.   Team had 20 pass yards in the second half.   That’s hanging the rest that helped him get his out to dry.  Just not by preference.  Just don’t play then. 

If anything, it boosted his stock more. With him they were great 1st half, 31 points, 3 TDS  after the fumble to start the game.  then 10 points in the 2nd with williams. 

Oh and the guy that helped him all year at wr sat so.... Yeah Ward just makes plays. Kinda that guy that lifts everyone but that's taboo here ATM with the last guy said was going to be that style QB.

I get it he didn't play the full game and got his stats and sat. Good. If he got hurt, it's millions it cost him. That record may stand a while regardless of how he does in the pros. He made it through with the record and not getting hurt, that's a W.

Don’t disagree it likely helps his stock.  I just don’t like business decision football.  Play or don’t play.  I don’t care for half in to get yours football.  That’s just me.  

And I also just dislike these Bowl games for reasons just like that.  Cancel all these bowl games then.  Add Miami to list of why.  Already a billion reasons why they shouldn’t be played.  It’s money over football should be.

      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.
