We are the Detroit Lions


Brooklyn Bully

Recommended Posts

A caller just said this on WFNZ. It's not that bad yet, but he made some interesting points...

- We have an owner who is going cheap

- We have a GM who is very good friends with the owner and will not be fired

- We have a GM who can't evaluate talent (forget the obvious ones: Beason, Kalil, etc. We knew they'd be great. We're talking the other picks and FA signs)

- We fired some of the scouting department making more work for the others

- If things don't get better, free agents WILL NOT want to come here to play

- Why would DeAngelo and Beason want to re-sign here?

They've been back and forth over those points and others, and again, it's not as bad as Detroit. But damn, I sure hope this "youth movement" works. Keep in mind though, just because they're young doesn't mean they'll pan out. You have to have the right young guys to begin with.

Do we?

Aside from the WR position, I think the ole GM has done a pretty good job concerning talent being drafted. It's not really his fault if that talent isn't put to good use.

...and Hurney can fall on his sword as many times as he wants, but it's clear who is calling the shots on our personnel and it's not him or Fox.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
