But if someone said the Lions win a SB, but it’s guaranteed they play like trash for the next decade - you’d trade that? They’re finally on the come up. I know people generally say they would, and it’s probably different since I haven’t had to live with a lifetime of the pain, but teams turn things around all the time. At least if you have a chance there’s something to hope for vs the guaranteed decade drought. Shrug. Can I have it in like, year 4 or 5 instead of frontloading it like that? 😄 I think I'd still go SB. It'd be Detroit's first, and their first championship since 1957 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there any examples (and I mean having them for a decade give or take and at a still strong point in their careers) 2012 49ers with some asterisks probably fits this: Patrick Willis - He will get in, the fact that he hasn't yet is silly to me Frank Gore - He should get in Justin Smith - I think he eventually gets in *Navorro Bowman - I'm not sure he gets in, but was playing at that level before his devastating knee injury *Aldon Smith - Absolutely would have had a HOF career if not for his off-field issues and was definitely playing like a HOFer - Both Joe Staley and Trent Williams said he was the toughest guy they have faced in their career. *Joe Staley - Might be the hall of very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanSlim Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Super Bowl, I don’t care how we get it. Then I can finally retire as a Titan fan, and watch the sunrise on a grateful universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite there but close enough to at least use as an example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we just need the other example for people to use. The 85 Bears? They had a few really good seasons in the 80s but if we went from 1976-1985 it could work. The issue being it was an all-time great team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
