This narrative that the Lions took on massive money is just not accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It listed a few things, and even mentioned Patricia's culture in Detroit. (But, hey, lets ignore that.) So, question: this "source" believes that the Patriots' status as rebuilders was the reason Stafford crossed only New England off the list. Only New England? Out of the 31 other teams in the league, Stafford felt that only New England was rebuilding? Or, he didn't want to be "the next guy" to try and replace "THE guy"? This sounds idiotic, as, if a situation was right, I doubt Stafford would be like: "Forget success, I don't want to be a guy that had to replace a guy that had to replace another guy." Now we're all confused. Edited January 31, 2021 by TL-TwoWinsAway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Stafford refusal to go to anyone but New England is hard to swallow as an evaluation of their long term chances as the main driver. Patricia tore down a team that was 9-7 or better 3 of the prior 4 years to get “his guys” and build a winner. Then declared his team needed a rebuild a year later. He gradually but clearly lost that locker room. It’s not hard to connect the dots. Edited January 31, 2021 by Broncofan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article was the news that Stafford refused to be traded to NE and then the writer trying to think of numerous reasons why while glossing over the most obvious (Patricia). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a QB I wouldn't want to go to an offense to throw to Ryan Izzo and Jakobi Meyers either, to be fair But if Matty P put him off and he thinks Bill is the same, then fair enough again.

Teen Girl Squad Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 48 minutes ago, Superduperman said: You shouldn't use condescending language like that when you're only seeing half the picture. It's only half about drafting probowlers, or star players. The other half is about keeping your roster stocked, from the best players to the third-stringers, with young players on rookie contracts. Keeping your draft capital gives you better odds of drafting non-bust, contributing players and conserving cap space to then make those trades or signings that put you over the top. This is even true with later picks, but first-rounders give you the best chance that even if they're not stars, they're contributors right away. That's fair and I didn't mean to come off condescending but I will also note that plenty of people are being equally 'condescending' to the notion that the Rams trading away first round picks is actually smart/well thought out and not a naive short sighted win now move only done by 'dumb' franchises.

KhanYouDigIt Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I just don’t see this getting them over the hump but we shall see. so John Johnson probably won’t be back? Edited January 31, 2021 by KhanYouDigIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler735 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 So does this mean Dak can be crowned as the best QB from that draft class now? Since Wentz was benched for a rookie QB, and Goff was traded for basically a negative value needing to give high draft picks away to part with him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
