unless you can't afford to pay him because you're paying yer QB too much
they paid Derek Carr a lot but the cap is going up. They could’ve made it work but it would’ve probably meant not re-signing Amari Cooper when his deal is up.
Cooper is a good starting NFL receiver. He’s not special. Khalil Mack? Now he is special. With a capital S.

Shocked that the Patricia hire is this bad.  Shocked I tell you.
very predictable.
Kinda funny how the Patriots defense- which was mostly hot garbage last year- looked light years better game 1 against Houston without Patricia.
Lions probably not gonna win 8 games this year.

8?  They won't win 6.  Their schedule is tough, I was having trouble finding 8 wins before discovering how bad they were, and that was giving them a W tonight, their easiest game of the season.  I think 4-12 or 5-11.  How you do that with Stafford is insane, but tonight shows how much he has been covering up.  It took him being excellent just to get the team to mediocre.  When he sucks, you see how they have no Plan B.

Tribusky sucks. I still can't believe the Bears traded all those picks to move up one spot and drafted him that high.

it's just what happens in the NFL right now. You need a QB so bad that teams always reach.
It was an awful QB class that draft and they plunged and reached on a guy that just wasn't all that good.
They should've just sat pat at #3 saved those picks they gave to the 49ers and taken DeShaun Watson. Watson was the only QB in that draft that I'd have touched with a 1st round pick. Said that many times on this board before that draft.
Bears would be a completely different team with Watson and those picks. They'd have been dangerous. Packers or Vikings going to win that division.

should be shocking to no one- reports filtering out that the Lions players hate their coach Matt Patricia and feel like he's in over his head. Lol. SO predictable.

by the way....NFL head coaching records of Belichik disciples?

Romeo Crennel: 28-55
Eric Mangini: 33-47
Josh McDaniels: 11-17
Bill O'Brien: 31-34
Nick Saban: 15-17
Jim Schwartz: 29-51
Matt Patricia: 0-1

Combined W-L totals?  147-222. .398 winning percentage.

Belichik's record in Cleveland? 36-44. Belichik's record in NE without Brady? 5-13. 41-57 pre-Brady. .418 winning percentage.

Makes me think even more that this NE thing has been mostly about Brady and his greatness as a clutch QB and leader of men.

winning in the NFL had long been about the quality and level of play at the QB position

why some GMs don't seem to understand this.......... I'll never know

why reach in the draft, go get someone that is already proven, and pay them

and BTW, don't stock up on head case WRs, stock the O-line with pass blockers that do not allow your big $$ QB to take a beating

That's the craziest part about the Lions.  They are this bad with a pretty darn good QB.  He's no Brady or Rodgers, or even Brees or Roethlisberger.  But he's been a legit top 8ish QB for a few years now, and they peaked with a couple Wildcard losses.

never a great defense in Detroit

some franchises just seem to destroy good QBs, but the Lion's O-line isn't terrible at pass protect

really should have dominated the Vikings and Bears with their sad string of QBs during the Stafford years
