Amazing job of coaching he's done this season considering the massive number of injuries that team has suffered.

Even with five turnovers, they put a bunch of points. Had their defense not been so decimated (including losing a starting DB with a broken arm early in the game), they might have held on to win it. 

The injury bug is a mean one, and it got them in the end. Not to downgrade Washington's performance, because they were outstanding, but just to say, there's no shame in Detroit.

I was really hoping this was their year.

It should have been.

It could have been if they didn’t get fancy. Gibbs was running  it all over Washington and they went pass happy. That dumb wr pass play that was picked was just terrible.  I know some lions fans and while they like the coach, they are annoyed with him all the same.

I would test Hendon Hooker out first. He may be just what they are looking for and need. I feel like he could turn into something and I am surprised if no other team has not attempted to get him in a trade for a later round draft pick to see if he can turn into a solid starter. He has had time on the bench to watch and he is ready to at least see if he can hack it as more than a backup 

If he was what they were looking for he would be playing. You don’t think they see him in practice and meetings daily?

Imo it says a lot about hooker that they immediately made bridgewater the backup a few weeks after he was coaching HS football and signed with them

There's some speculation that Ben Johnson might want to trade for Hendon Hookernif he picks the Raiders.

All speculation of course, but not out of the question.

Eh,Teddy is a longtime NFL player and was on the team in 2023, basically the prototype backup. I bet there was regular communication and Teddy didn't come in cold. Wouldn't think much of it considering the move was made for the playoffs when the stakes were highest.

Sure, why not, hes on the roster at least see what he has, Goff is decent but hes not elite, see if Hooker is.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
