Fairley demoted to second team defense

If Tate catches 100 balls and 12 tds, did we overpay him? Saying he's overpaid right now is pretty reckless imo
 
looks like Jason Jones took some reps at DT as well. I don't know what Mayhem was thinking when he signed him to be a DE. Sign a reserve DT from the Seahawks to be the Lions starting DE???

The plan was always to use him at both since we had Willie Young. But he got hurt so didn't get much of a chance.

If Taylor,Ansah and George Johnson/Webster earn the reps, move Jones to DT more. And if Jones does well, look at that we could lose Fairley next year no problem. Maybe Mayhew did have a DT backup plan afterall(Jones) and didn't need Donald. At that point Ansah and Taylor are in year 3 (should be starting) and Webster is in year 2.

Tates overpaid because this player is equal to him and is getting paid this much. And...go!!

Crickets...???

Tate is one of the highest paid 800 yard wrs in the league.
stafford is the highest paid average qb in the league.
suh is the highest paid 8 sack a year guy in the league.

At some point we need to start getting what you pay for or you'll just end up shitty year after year with no depth. Its called value...

Stafford is cheap with restructures included.

Tate cheaper than sanders by cap number first three

Suh been low cap number every other year but 2014 which is yet to happen. Of course you didn't know that

800 yard receiver in Seattles offense. In Detroit's offense he will have inflated numbers. Good enough for me

It's hard for him to grasp that you know. Seattle lives off their defense and running game. And Tate still put up solid numbers. Somebody with a donut for a brain would usually get that, buuuuuuuuut.....well, you know ;)

actually seattle scored more points than we did and only ran the ball 20 ypg more than us. but I guess only us donut brains would be able to use google and find that out.

Seattle had 39 turnovers from their defense. Life was easy for their offense. They had to go like 3 yards to score. Wilson is a piece of shit QB.

let's see...

Wilson has a career QB rating of 100.6, Stafford 83.1
Wilson career comp % is 63.6%, Stafford 59.5%
Wilson YPA is 8.09, Stafford 6.99
Wilson INT/attempt is 0.24 , Stafford 0.3
Wilson has been in 5 playoff games and is 4-1 with a super bowl victory. In those 5 games he completed 63% of his passes, 8.4 YAP and has a QB rating of 102. Last year Stafford choked down the stretch and can't even get his team to the playoffs in the weakest division in the NFC.

If Wilson is a piece of Shit QB then Stafford is a huge pile of steaming shit QB!
 
Stafford is better. He has to do more with injured drop prone weapons and fumbling weapons.

34 turnvoers for Stafford. 41 TDs. He's a stud.

With enforcing the 5 yard touch/grab penalty it's pretty sad for a QB to have a completion % under 60. The rules make it so easy..he has that way in college though so it's consistent.

Some had near 70%, 6 over 66% and a whopping 25 were at 60% or higher. For what Matt Suckford gets paid he needs to not be the 30th best QB completing balls.
 
Wilson was/is throwing to Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, and Zach Miller. Don't try and sell us that he's got more on his side than Stafford.
 
Stafford is not a better qb than Wilson. What I'm saying is that receiving yards will come easier for Tate here.

Good for you. You know how to use Google. Anybody who "knows football", knows that Seattle lives and dies off their defense and running game. It's the strength of their team.
