We are the Detroit Lions


Brooklyn Bully

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.

    • Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.
    • Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
    • The salary cap is the reason we got Phillips and Lloyd
