2019-2020 NFL Thread

Just me- Wishful thinking.  Never been convinced that Stanfford is a winner. 

I don’t think he’s a guy that can carry a team on his back like Brady did for so many years or Aaron Rodgers- but he’s still a good QB. 

Stafford has never really had the coach or team around him. 

It all starts with ownership. Lions have been a dumpster fire ever since the Ford family bought them. They went from being a pre-eminent elite NFL team to garbage, almost immediately after Ford bought them. And they’ve stayed that way for like 60 f’in years. 

Ford just sucks in general. They build shitty cars and shitty football teams. F EM.

I won’t support the Lions again until the Ford family sells them. There was a rumor going around that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was in talks to buy the Lions. GOD PLEASE BE TRUE. He would turn them into a winner in no time. Everything that guy touches turns to freaking gold.

Isn't Ford done building cars as it is sans Mustang?  Their trucks remain best in class.  I don't offer any views on crossovers or SUV models.

Aside, I couldn't envision Brady in Detroit.

QB is about last on the Lions list of problems, and depleting the roster farther to sign a second one doesn't seem to make sense.

A Lions fans once said Stafford literally broke his spine trying to carry the Lions, which is yes true. 


 "He (Stafford) had a broken back last year (2018)," Mike O'Hara, who writes for the Lions' team site, said during a recent episode of his podcast with WJR's Ken Brown (via MLive.com). "Broken bones in his back."

Changing of the guard weekend?  Brady with a game ending pick six and now Brees with a potentially game ending fumble?  They have literally been football to me for over 20 years

I'll be convinced the Pats are done I'm fully convinced that Andy Luck is retired. This is Belechick plot, prove me wrong!

Chargers have lotta weapons on O though and Brady is from California and has a home in LA. Keenan Allen + Mike Williams + that TE Hudson Henry + Melvin Gordon if he comes back = 100000x better cast of weapons Brady has had in YEARS in New England.

If the Chargers make some moves to shore up the OL in the draft, f/a, trades - it’s a perfect match.

Plus, it gets him into LA, where gullible rich people will pay tons to be part of the "TB12 Method" when he licenses and productizes it. Might as well get out here...

Problem is, and can't blame him, is that he was right at the end of the old CBS.  So while now, if you hit on a QB in the draft, you have a few year window to build around him, while he's cheap, Stafford was the exact opposite.  He and Suh cost so much right out of the gate, that Detroit never had those cheap years to surround back to back 1st round home run picks with any talent.  They WERE the team.

IDK how but the Lions also seem to be forever in cap-hell.

Well the Browns are down to these guys as far as I understand it.Supposedly by Saturday they will have a new H.C.Anybody want to chime in on these prospects,just hoping they tap the right guy for once

Josh McDaniels  - Patriots O.C.
Kevin Stefanski  - Vikings O.C.
Jim Schwarz      - Eagles  D.C.
Greg Roman      - Ravens O.C.

[Abba]

Is Eric Bienemy no longer a candidate?

[MrNubbz]

Well yes,but IMO he's a long shot,haven't really looked at what he's done.But I'd take him if he's the guy to get him over the top

I wouldn't if I was Roman, despite having Chubb. He'll get paid in the offseason (or by next week). Plus his best offenses had really good OLs, Cleveland doesn't and the front office is a mess. 

Schwartz would be fine IMO. I think they need someone w/ exp. Its hard to tell if its just the Lions or him when he was there.

If you're Greg Roman and you've got Lamar Jackson on your roster, why would you leave?

I realize it's a promotion to go from OC to HC, but you've got lightning in a bottle and even if you don't win the Super Bowl this season, that just means that you upgrade some offensive positions to go on a huge run next year. 

Walking into Cleveland is the perfect place to fail as a head coach and end up back as an OC in 3 years anyway.

While mostly true it's still one of 32 gigs in a country of over 300 million.The Browns Fan base has always been up at the top.There are hired guns/loose cannons out there willing to make a name for themselves

This is my favorite NFL weekend of the year
