lol..anything can happen..they have the tools to be a good team in a few years..but IDK about this

“I won’t make a prediction about how many games we’re going to win,” Smith wrote recently at smith34.com, “but I will say this: We will definitely make the playoffs this season.”

a lil shot at the panthers...since we did play them..but i cant say too much seeing as he put 100 on us

“Believe it or not we weren’t far off last year,” he wrote. “Almost every game we could have won, we were one play or one player short. Except for Tennessee on Thanksgiving, they just came out and beat us to sleep. They manhandled us, but nobody else did.”

If I was the Detroit FO, I'd say....

We will definitely make the playoffs? OK, here's your new contract. If we make the playoffs, you get paid double what you are now. If not, you get the league minimum, sign here :D

If he thinks they definitely get to the playoffs, then its a good deal. But, gee, I wonder what he would do.... :rolleyes:

They are in a weak division...NFC North..GB MInn, Chicago....they dont have the strongest schedule....I just dont know......Would be one of the biggest turnarounds i have ever seen. from winless to the playoffs.....that would be at least plus 10 in wins last year....Its possible but i dont think it will happen

I wouldn't say they're in a week division at all, though I know none of the teams had really great records or anything. With Cutler, I think Chicago is on the up and up.

I think Green Bay's defense will be much improved next year. And Minnesota, well, we all know that with good quarterback play they can be a very dangerous team.

A weak division would be like the NFC West. :P

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
