Also a weak division to play in at least initially Risky move for Ben Johnson. Have 1 bad year and your stock tanks But their QB situation is not good right now,who can be very important for a coach.I think this is a good gamble by him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case scenario the offense tanks and Goff is blamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can create room, but they’re not like the Bears with $92M or Giants/Falcons with $50M+. Edited January 18, 2023 by Yin-Yang 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all downside. If the Lions complete their transition to a genuine NFL team next year, I'd say Johnson's power to choose the job and salary he wants improves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Ben Johnson probably would have liked the Panthers position, with his family ties to the area. I think the team interviewing coordinators without a head coach might have played a factor in his decision. Lions are building something special. A playoff win in Detroit would put everyone on the team in a better light. I'm so freaking excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the moment, that isn't Carolina - and I wouldn't blame Johnson for wanting to hitch his wagon to Sam Darnold or Matt Corral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
