Trade DeWill to Lions for #2


PuntJake

Recommended Posts

draft one of the big DT's. we'll be better off in the long run because it would shore up our defensive middle for a decade.

we can't keep two starting RB's for to much longer. eventually we'll be forced to do something with one of them. get max value now for DeWill now rather than in two years or after an injury.

does anyone know how to change my username? now that my wishes have been granted by the front office, i'm ready to move on.

It would be tempting but we don't have the money to hand to a pick that high. We might be able to get someone good but we would have to pay him like a superstar and not only that but we would have to give up a real superstar to get it done.

Hmm, I know their are probably many threads about this already..but..I think it would be a hard decision..

Obviously we'd take Suh..whom is better of the two lineman.

J-Stew does seem like hew could carry the load..

But, I'd hate to see D-Will go.

:'[

I don't know what I'd do..

But I don't think this scenario would ever even happen.

So, I won't have to worry about it.

Geez, I'm rambling and rambling and rambling on here. xD

Someone wants to have a red rep meter.

why would that give me neg reps? it's a legit proposal. you may not agree with it but not agreeing with a suggestion shouldn't warrant neg reps.

what i suggeseted is a considerable option. i hate to see us wait too long and lose mega value with one of our RB's and if we could snag a stud DT rather than a 2nd or 3rd round one, i feel there would be more upside in suh's future here than trying to cling to two starting RB's.

a lot of people are saying we can't keep both backs, but why not? it's really up to deangelo and jonathan. they seem happy with the team now. if they want to go somewhere else to get paid more then that's their prerogative, but it's not certain that will happen. they really seem to be in to their roles at the moment.

"now", "at the moment"

sure, now and at the moment. what i am talking about is over the next 4-8 years (the time we'd greatly benefit from a stud DT)

Hey would any of you trade dwill and our second for Calvin Johnson? Hope I don't get neg repped for this suggestion.

no, i wouldn't, but don't worry, i won't neg rep you!

i like him, but believe DeWill is a better running back than johnson is a receiver. so the trade straight up is a move down for us so adding our 2nd.... yikes.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
    • Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
