Rofl.  You say the stupidest shit.
Sucks we didn't get Whisenhunt.  We'll see what happens Ig.


This.

Stafford is a top notch QB, just had a slump towards the end. I'm sure more than half the league would love to have him as the starting QB.

I'm hoping for Caldwell now...

Stafford is second tier at best. He has potential to be a top notch quarterback--but doesn't seem to have the intentions of becoming top notch. Calvin has bailed him out time and time again--Calvin opens up passing lanes and he still under performs. He forces throws all the time. We would've had a better record last year with Shaun hill under center

ttwentyman: RT "@AdamSchefter: Lions have spent day in talks with Ravens HC Jim Caldwell and Detroit has been focusing on him, via @mortreport and me.”
ttwentyman: .@AdamSchefter: Dungy spoke with Bill Ford Jr. earlier Monday to reaffirm strong attributes he believed Caldwell would bring to the Lions.
ttwentyman: Dungy isn't the only one who endorsed Jim Caldwell to the #Lions. I'm also hearing quarterback Peyton Manning did too.


I mean ofc Peyton / Dungy would want to push him... last night was just so depressing.

The depressed feeling really hit me hard and I started reaching for positive things.
He coached Peyton. They could have went 16-0. He won a SB with joe flacco who had the best postseason ever. I'm fucking reaching but I hope we look back at this in 5 years and say we ended up with the right guy

First, suh is my favorite player. I'm not stating that he will for sure leave--but it does look like a very possible scenario.

As for dissing stafford, I'm not denying he has awesome potential--I think he has a great appreciation/understanding of the game--yet I've been fairly upset with what appears to be his unwillingness to address his issues. From what I read, it appears his attitude is something like, "this is how I play football". That attitude blocks any form of development-- and development is what separates good with great. When it comes down to it--I want the lions to win a Super Bowl too--but I'm not going to get on here and say "everything is fine"--which has been the lions motto for the past 2 years.

You call for Shawn Hill. We won't win a superbowl with Shawn Hill.
You say Suh is going to leave. Without anything of the sort ever being mentioned.
You call back for Schwartz. You want to know where Stafford's attitude comes from...

Your highs are high but if something goes wrong you go the other direction. And hard. You are hardly realistic.

Ok I admit going with Shaun hill is a bit of
A joke. Lol

Suhs cap hit is over 21 mil for 2014 because of the restructuring we've done. I'm not saying he's going to leave, I'm saying it's possible.

And yes--I may be bi polar.
