Who would consider Stafford a bust? He's put up solid numbers, the Lions are just such a trash organization that they've driven two all-time greats into early retirement within the last 20 years.

I'm merely talking about where the line gets drawn.  Is Sanchez a bust?  Is Alex Smith a bust? Is the line between Sanchez and Stafford?  

You spend your pick on the #1 overall pick on a QB. Then I tell you only this....

12 years later you have 0 playoff wins and an overall losing record. Would you call that a variation of a bust given it was the #1 overall pick?  Because that is Stafford's resume.    Lions or not.   Lot of trash organizations of this era have notched a playoff win.

No one can be considered a bust if they’re a starter on the team for over a decade. Now you could argue whether the team would have been better off trading away for assets, but I couldn’t call that specific player a bust.

I know you hate teddy and I agree he played bad last week, but given an actual big body that he could use in the red zone does seem like something that would help his td production tremendously.

I mean, sure man. That's assuming he can actually get better, but I personally believe as well as many others. This is what he is.

I don't think it's very fair to an individual player to use team success as the sole factor of evaluating that individual player. It's odd to me that only QBs carry a W-L record. Football really is the ultimate team sport.

You should try to remember this more often

I would be ok taking Pitts at this spot. I wouldn’t want to trade up to top 10 for Lance. If we are in the middle of the first and Lance is there, I wouldn’t mind taking him if our staff thinks he is their guy.

Oh, I never forget it. It doesn't mean that individual players don't play their role. And yeah, if you're undergunned at QB in today's NFL you're really fighting an uphill battle.

[Happy Panther]

We are picking 32nd anyway.

But a good-great QB can mask a lot of issues on your team, man. Packers won a damn Super Bowl under Mike McCarthy FFS. That shows how good Aaron Rodgers is, right there. 

[SnowPanther]

If there’s a stand out QB at the spot you take him. If not you take a lineman or secondary. I really don’t see the value of adding a tight end that high. It’s like the running back position, you can find solid value there in the second and third round.

Alabama has 6 players in top 20 of this draft

 

[PantherExpress]

If we plan on using him accordingly, I wouldn’t be mad with Pitts. That dude is a monster and could give us an option we haven’t had since Olsen’s prime years. 

[Yaboychris28]

I’d prefer not to pick a TE/WR tweener when we’re trying to rebuild
