Suh suitors

[tomdalton22]

At what point did the topic turn to Romo vs Stafford??

Stay on track. Nobody was comparing the two. At any point.

****, you guys are so fixated on Matthew Stafford its comical.

"Oh Yeah, well Matt didn't do this.....Stafford didn't do that......waaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaah!!!

It's not even part of the ****in topic....but you Stafford haters make it happen!!!!

You seem to be the #2 Stafford nut hugger behind LKP. You defend him to no end then you rip on a QB that is far superior to Matt.

This is a Lions board...just pointing out that a QB that is a "stat junkie" is a far superior QB to the one the Lions employ. Seems like a fair point on a Lions board!

The progression of this thread is fascinating, we've somehow arrived at Romo vs Stafford in a thread about Suh's next contract.

Thank you.

I made a point about how the Lions should follow the Cowboys example and build a strong OL......and somehow that led to me hugging Staffords nuts.

Love it!!

Nope. Not at all.

I am clearly not a Stafford defender........I just don't blame him for everything from the national debt to the holocaust like you, Mitch and Hughes do.

There can be a middle ground.....you just don't seem to understand that.

Again, "talent is there." And "Romo has elite talent around him." You still can't correlate how we got where we are?

probably went to far on that one!

As far as building the OL...I 100% agree on that. Of course it took the Cowboys about 6-7 years to build what they have. I think every starter is a first round draft pick.

I thought we had a great OL in 2013? What we need is a new QB.

I don't state anything that I don't feel is true and almost always backed up by stats. Over and over I call him a average QB which is what he is. Most of the pissing matches are with that idiot LKP.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Can we sign Suh now?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Let Suh walk, sign Justin Houston. YES!!

I agree. LKP is an idiot. He's just a troll......nobody on the planet actually believes he is better than Rodgers.

And I believe Stafford is just slightly better than you think he is. I will also go as far as to say I know the numbers back your evaluation more than they do mine.

I just think Stafford has been the subject of some pretty bad coaching and was brought in to a minor league football team in '09. Guys on here rip on Stafford for two playoff appearances in 6 years......but how many guys would have gotten that '09 or '10 team to the playoffs?? I don't think even Rodgers would have. They were historically void of talent besides #81. Just really, REALLY bad.

So to me......I think he's a good qb.......certainly not great......but still has the ability to be great. He's not even 27 yet (2 days to go......just looked it up). I think his best years are ahead of him.

Or, maybe he's Dontrelle Willis.........guess we'll see!!

 

[boogerlovejoy]

How about resign Fairley......draft that DT from Texas, Malcom Brown......and sign Houston!!!

Ansah, Fairley, Brown, Houston is a nightmare DL in passing situations.

He has the arm strength but I have seen nothing else in him that makes me feel he can take it to the next level. To me he is like a flashy SS in baseball. He will make a great play but then he boots a routine ground ball and later in the game he makes the routine play but throws the ball into the dirt. He is just WAY too inconsistent for my liking.

We'll see...he does have age on his side.

I wanted the Lions to take a DT & OL in the first two rounds of last year's draft. I liked Martin & Donald

 

[Mitchrapp]

He has the arm strength ..

Unfortunately, 2013 he didn't use it to his advantage. He was a pure short/check down passer. Mostly because his accuracy is horrible on deep passes..teams play up, makes it harder on himself. Going to be 27 in two days, it's not going to be on his side for long.

Nobody wanted Ebron.

Nobody.

Honestly, I wanted Gilbert or Denard.

I still think Van Noy could be a really good OLB.....I was really happy with that pick last year.

I think Malcom Brown should be the pick this year.....followed by the best available OL.....unless we get 2 really good OL Free Agents.

If we do.....#3 WR, #2 CB, S, RB and DE all need upgraded depth or immediate help.

I am still of the impression that Suh will be retained, so I don't see DT as much of a need. If we can get Fairley back at a reasonable price (his injury and limited time of quality play makes that seem likely), DT is locked up.

The one thing that makes me think he won't be here is he hasn't shown he wants to be. At least I haven't seen it.

That would be nice......would let us focus on OL in FA and the draft. We need to add two good starters at LG and RT......let Swanson develop and I think we'll be set.

#3 WR and RB would be it for the O

DE, CB and S for the D.

I love our LB's.....I think we might have the best set of LB's in football except SF......who is so stacked with talent its a joke. Bowman, Willis and Aldon Smith......c'mon!?!?!?

Stafford is a very good QB. Caldwell said himself he is underrated. He knows more than anyone on a message board easily. I'll stick with the game tape and the experts.

11 wins. I was right.
