Man next season is going to be really awkward if Stafford is still there.

Does he have franchise QB potential. That is the main thing I want in any QB we draft regardless of where we draft him. Newman was regarded as a potential 1st round pick before he opted out. I have a feeling a number of fringe first round picks or actual first round picks are gonna slip in the draft.

Well the Bucs were already a rebuilt team for the last few years. Their QB just held them back. Got that fixed and they are in the Super Bowl.

Going with PJ or Grier. See what they can do. Possibly get a top 3 pick.

If that’s why Rhule wants in a franchise QB why oh why did they think Bridgewater was a good choice. He is literally none of those things Rhule listed.

Lance may not make it too us because of the Lions. We supposedly are going to be aggressive in getting a QB. I hope that is true and we put our money where our mouth is.

If we get Stafford Bridgewater will have to be apart of the trade because Stafford is going to want to go somewhere he can start day one. I am still not convinced Stafford will want to go to a team that, at best, may be a fringe playoff team next year, and I am being generous. Colts are a better destination and I am more confident that he would prefer to go to them. He is essentially coming to another Lions team with us. Rebuilding and not ready to compete yet. If Stafford is going to be able to control the team he wants to go to the Panthers are the last place he’d want to go.

Parsons won't do anything for this team. He won't move the dial one way or the other. We will still be a bad team because our QB is Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater is a MAJOR problem the team need to address and the QB class of next year is looking really bad.

We had no control over the Panthers winning but man that win, now that multiple QB needy teams are ahead of us, feels worse and worse. I really hope we don't give up and just roll with Bridgewater next year. I don't know if I can watch another year of him play QB. Panthers media has said the Panthers are making a QB the top priority this offseason so they need to put there money where their mouth is. If we don't trade for a QB this draft is going to be so stressful. But I said last season was the only season I will cheer for us to lose, at least until the next full rebuild. While I will never support Bridgewater I will be cheering on my team as per usual next year. Please Tepper, Rhule and the GM-whose-last-name-I-can't-remember. Get us a QB no matter what.

I don't understand why a 32 year old QB would want to come to a team that isn't ready to compete for a Super Bowl yet. If he leaves the Lions he needs to go to a more complete team. Like the Colts. At 32 if you go via a trade you want to go to a potential playoff/Super Bowl team.

But winning culture you guys. God I hate Bridgewater.

Still amazed that a 43 year old Brady can make the deep ball look effortless and we have a 27 year old that plays like Drew Brees at 42 and always looks like he has to put everything into throwing it 20 yards.

The only reason it was as close as it was was because the Panther kept getting lucky because the Chiefs defense kept falling for trick plays. We had to literally pull out everything. If we had of played the Chiefs like the Bills are now we would have gotten blown out.

So how many times before everyone starts hating the Chiefs? Because I hate that we may end the Patriot era just for another team we are gonna have to endure making the Super Bowl every year. Teams need to figure out how to stop the Chiefs.

It is gonna be a few years. Glad for the desire but realistically I don’t see us in the playoffs until 2023. Maybe we will be in contention longer then we were last season. But who knows. We need a QB and a number of other pieces. I expect our ceiling to be 8-8 to a floor as the same record as this year 5-11. Which would mean another top 10 pick. But if we get a QB I will feel better about next season no matter who is starting week one under center. As I said I love the enthusiasm from the rookies but you gotta understand this team is probably going to be bad for another season or two. It’s sucks. Unless the rookie, QB we sign plays really well or TB has an epiphany and somehow gains the ability to do more than throw 2 yards.

Yeah I heard the Lions are expecting a first.

Well looks like we need to trade up even more now. I really don’t want Stafford. Why or why did we have to win that stupid Washington game.

When it is all said and done I don’t really care if Watson comes or not. I would be happy if he did but I expect nothing. But it is fun to speculate. All I do is hope during the offseason. Hope we get a future franchise QB, hope the GM and head coach can continue to improve the team how they can and hope we can make the playoffs next year or at least be in the bubble till the end of the season. My expectations are very low.

Maybe I am wrong but I think we could of gotten Derrick Brown around 15th if we wanted. Unless the Cardinals were going to take him then I understand staying pat.

He checked down quite a bit in Minnesota, just going off of memory and definitely with the Saints. Most of his passes were behind the 10 yard line. He has always been a YAC QB.

Doubt that would fix his other problems. No clutch, bad inaccurate deep ball. Won’t throw past the sticks. He is who he is. No offseason, good or bad, is going to change him.

14.

That is how the league is. It is what can you do for me now. Teddy can’t change who he is. A “tremendous offseason” won’t change the fact he can’t throw deep accurately or make him more clutch. The week 17 game Bridgewater was chucking it left and right and looked bad doing it. He was bailed out by his receivers and he threw two really bad picks. He would be better off on a more complete team. Panthers will be getting a QB this offseason. It is obvious the FO has no love for him.

There are a few teams that could use a QB like Teddy and possibly succeed. I keep coming back to the Colts or Bears.
