Where are these Debbie Downers coming from?  Are they Cicadas?  You get the best RB in the draft vs. the 10th best CB. I wanted the LB.  However, a RB that can catch better that Chuba, block better than Chuba, and run better than Chuba--behind our new guards---I see it.

 

All good points. Very fair. I think there is some ho-hum about it being a rb in the 2nd round. The trend has been to find them later. We did need a rb though.

I like this pick! He is a great talent and RB will be a need next year. Might as well get your future right now

 

 

There is something to be said for that, but also we all laughed at the Falcons last night.

It's a good trade. It gives us an extra chance to pick a not-as-terrible player to replace a worse player on the team.

New regime means new qb. Young has this season to show he belongs.

Good player. Not at 8 though.

It is sad to sit here and watch these qbs go

every single one of them looks like a football player 

 

They all have flaws though. They might be great. They might be so-so. They might be terrible.

I forgot about Moose. Or maybe I forgot about Smith? I forgot. Thanks for the correction. It's still a dismal record.

This is the most WR loaded draft in a decade.  We would be stupid not to draft WR.  Mingo would be 3-4th rounder in this year draft.

We've drafted 1 wr in our history that amounted to anything. We might just might be snakebit on that position.

I believe those are part of a larger yearly survey of ownership and facilities. The good news is we are not the worst in the league in something. The biggest criticism might be the playing surface. All report cards are available via the link.

Oh come on. It’s not like he transferred from Duke to UNC. 

Of course that would be dire, unheard of and senseless. 

I am 100% on wanting Morgan to succeed. Will he though is another question entirely. Honestly, my least favorite Morgan moment isn't him running down to NO as soon as he was done here. It was not making that tackle on Vick, and I'm sure you know which 1 I am talking about.

See yall again once we get closer to the preseason.

Hope springs eternal.

Deshaun Foster to be Raiders new rb coach.

We can only hope so. The only time my opinion of Morgan took a hit was when he ran down to New Orleans to try and make their team. I understand the desire to still play, even with the risks involved, but going to a hated rival? I want it to work out well for him, and we get back to prominence.

Caldwell is part of the staff and evero is staying?  Anyone doubt for a minute that Tepper still has his fingers in everything ?

The proof will be in the pudding. Once we get on a few games losing streak, and he and Mrs Tepper are out there watching practice, we will be able to tell. Don't forget he said he reserves the right to veto whatever and whenever.

A bit fluffy

It's super fluffy. The only thing fluffier will be our pre-training camp, multi-part, off-season hype video to get us all excited for seeing the latest draft picks and free agent stars on the field doing things like catching a ball, running a lap or doing a push up.

The Lions have a 2015 Panthers vibe. Just hope the refs don’t rig the superbowl against them. 

Well the storyline will be how the 2 teams that started the season are the 2 to finish it. Maybe the Detroit redemption story is good enough to outweigh Mahomes and Taylor Swift?

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

He declined all head coaching interviews, not just us 

That is splitting hairs though, don't you think? It's still a no thank you.

No offense to Dave Canales, but how do you not at least try to get Ben Johnson?

Did they not try last season and he declined?

Just now, Chad_Cota said:

Ben Johnson is running circles around Steve Wilkes 

Absolutely. They've stopped them on 1 drive I think.

Niners need halftime badly for a chance to reset and regroup.

Gibbs is a damn stud!

I thought there was a good chance he would be the Saints pick as a Kamara replacement. I'd rather him be in the AFC, but at least he is not in the division.

I want to head down there but work tomorrow 

You know if they win there will be lots and lots of work absences tomorrow all over Michigan.

2 drives, 2 tds. They are doing what you are supposed to do.

So I assume most in here are rooting for Detroit? Some maybe for McCaffrey? I'm all in on the Lions making their first SB. Still love me some CMC but screw the 49ers, will never like that franchise.

Lions, but it will be quite the upset for them to win. 

2 4th quarter red zone turnovers. Ball game. Bring on Niners-Lions. No logo conspiracy too.
