Then with Tua going into his third year you could bounce them. Then we'd have another year of roster turnover ('22), team adding more pieces to surround their franchise QB ('23) and then heading into 2024 needing to pay $40M+ to Tua.

You didn't catch the Ravens talking like that The Ravens didnt/dont change coaches every 3 years. But to be fair the found a good one. We seem to sign players that are only good in NE. So will have to wait for their contracts to expire before we can compete if we switch again. Its a sneaky plan by BQ and MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what, neither are Quinn and Patricia. They have a "compete for the playoffs" mandate. All that means is, if you go under .500 you're fired. Which is a given anyway. That was the most meaningless statement the Lions have ever made, and everyone acts like it meant something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the question will not arise unless we are 6-10. Now that we aren't dealing with the Jeff Driskell's/David Blough's of the world at back-up, I think there is a lot less wiggle room. We likely would have won 9-10 games last year with a healthy Stafford. We won 3. If Stafford does go down, you can't really make the same argument because Daniel is a vet guy. He should be able to help you win games when the rest of the team isn't terrible. Even if Stafford does go down, they're going to have to win 7 - 8 games minimum plus have other stuff happen to justify another year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's part record and part situation: if they start 7-3, but fall apart and end the season 8-8, I could absolutely see them getting fired. I just don't think that Ford's decree was anything to dismiss, and I doubt that Quinn and Patricia are doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is reason/excuse it will be granted. For instance, the GB game last year wouldn't be counted against them. Then the injuries, not their fault. I feel it will happen, and the excuse will be accepted. I think Martha will let BQ and MP be here for 5 years unless something awful like last season happens.

LionArkie Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 To add onto this, I also think if they make the playoffs, they will get extensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
