We do have a QB. Furthermore, Ray Lewis won with Trent Dilfer. Lawrence Taylor won with Phil Simms and Jeff Hostetler. Peppers almost won with Jake Delhomme. It doesn't take an elite QB to win a Super Bowl, it takes an elite team, or at least a good one catching lightning in a bottle.

Psst…Nick Foles *drops mic*

Yeah, let's wait and pay the franchise tag next year of around 27 million and paint ourselves into a corner with no leverage if we wanted to extend him that 2nd year.  I like signing him now for 22 per year for 2 years.  That cheaper and smarter all the way around.  

 

the dude will be 32 next year and is currently being load managed, what fuging leverage does he have?  You are banking on him having some all pro type season and that is frankly not in his dna.  He is a good RT.  Period end of story.  So far for the excuses for this we have:  1. He deserves this  2. This frees up space to sign or trade for God knows who 3. We are getting a deal because he is going to ball out this year and hold us over the barrel

 

Goddamn people just Goddamn

I'm not yet convinced we have our Jalen Hurts.

We can get him. 

All I'm saying is that you have to at least look into acquiring Parsons if he were to seriously become available. Two firsts is just the cost of doing business.

We may or may not have a QB. Right now, Bryce has put a lot of bad play and some middling play on film. 

You're talking about a different era of football before they changed the rules of the passing game. The top 16 highest paid players are QBs. Literally half of the league's starting QBs. A good chunk of the rest are probably on rookie contract. It's the only argument I need in terms of how the league views the position.  Money talks and bullshit walks and teams are telling you what is most important with their money.

Sure. You look into it. Then you find out they want two 1sts and more and he wants to be the highest paid defender in league history. Then you...

Like I mentioned, pass rushers are pretty coveted as well. Parsons is not some regular Joe.

Furthermore, as I mentioned also, using run to set up the pads and the pass to set up the run is still a thing. And I shouldn't have to say it, but defense still wins championships. That is still a damned good blueprint for any era of football, damned near sacrosanct.

I mean, what do you expect to pay for the best rusher since Lawrence Taylor? I mean, seriously.

And the NFL has told you through actual contracts that literally half the league's starting QBs are worth more than the best pass rushers or any other position for that matter.

Giving him the deal isn't the crazy part. It's the fact that it's 93% guaranteed and that this year was added into that amount with a salary conversion to SB. (where he had none guaranteed previously this year) 

I can see and agree with your point here but the money from restructures is a sunk cost.  New money being less than average for a player of his quality was a win for the front office.  Getting almost all of it guaranteed is a win for the player.  The whole deal is just smart football.  He is as healthy as any other vet high end tackle with a history of being on the field. 

There's plenty of risk but that is the case with every NFL contract.  The pros greatly outweigh the cons with the only two cons I can see if the guaranteed money being high and he's not a spring chicken.  Both valid worries but his ability, character, play on the field, salary, and not having to watch Bryce run for his life are worth those risks IMHO.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      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.
