I'm not really with the analysis that lions moves at RB were lateral at best. I know the Lions don't think so. Montgomery is a better back than Williams. He just is. The tackle breaking ability might see him have a career season. Gibbs is better than Swift, but its close. The issue with Swift is that he was always hurt, even when he was in the lineup they had to limit his touches. They needed more from him then he could give. Eagles are good fit for him. Lions film has plenty of examples of blocking in place 5 yards out and the RBs get 7, or Swift won't follow the run design and bounces outside for a small gain. The lions could and should have had bigger runs and that's what they're betting on here. A terrifying run game that setups play action for Goff. Gibbs is going to get a lot of touches. The success of the pick is on whether he holds up better than Swift did.

I do appreciate that during the Bears part, it acknowledges that they had the worst supporting cast in the league and then turns around and calls Montgomery one of the least efficient backs in the league. Like gee, I wonder if there's a connection.

The national conversation around the Lions RB situation just feels like it’s missing some nuance. On paper I guess it’s easy to look at Williams’ productivity last year and Swift’s skill set and question if the unit is much better for the resources thrown at it. But that’s ignoring that Williams got the goal line chances he did because the trust clearly wasn’t there for Swift to stay healthy handling those situations, even before he got injured later anyway. That’s not to dismiss Williams or be lovely about it. You’ve still gotta convert and he did a great job. But Williams’ productivity and Swift’s health/trust levels are directly related. If Montgomery is anywhere near the same ballpark of what Williams offers you and Gibbs is healthy, then it’s a straight upgrade.

Like I enjoyed watching Montgomery over the years but I don't really see D'onta Foreman as that much of a downgrade from him. Montgomery seemed better because of just how atrocious the Bears skill players were in comparison.

Dexo posted:Herbert was better than him(at running) with the same cast. I'm not sure this is true. Herbert would pop a big play a couple of times and then get stuffed every other play. He sucked at yards after contact. Montgomery is boring, but he was consistent. Having a bunch of 3.5 per carry is better overall for your offense than a big play splattered amongst a bunch of stuffs. There's a reason Montgomery was on the field for over 60% of the Bears snaps despite Herbert being a better scheme fit and it wasn't just blocking. Bumhead posted:The national conversation around the Lions RB situation just feels like it’s missing some nuance. The nuance it is missing is that sometimes football nerds take analytics too far. The argument the article made about Gibbs focuses on salary surplus and says he is unlikely to outperform being the 18th best running back in the NFL over his career, while completely ignoring the fact that the hit rate for first round running backs being top ten consistently over their rookie contracts is somewhere between 75% and 80%. And even if that wasn't the case, salary surplus isn't that big an issue when all your premium players are on a rookie contract. People love to argue that you can just find a running back, but there are a lot of loving average running backs in the NFL. The goal shouldn't be to field average players, it should be to create positional advantages that help you win loving football games! I love analytics as much as the next guy, but football is not baseball. Context and scheme matter.

One of the Lions podcasts I listen to (I think it was One of These Years) also made the point that arguing the Lions should have taken, say, a WR or EDGE with their 1st round picks doesn't really make sense when you look at their roster — the Lions already have a ton of good-to-decent players in those positions, and adding another player to those positions isn't going to have any immediate impact to the team's ability to win football games. Meanwhile, even if their positions are less valuable on paper, Gibbs and Campbell are substantial upgrades to their positions and will be contributing from day 1. To put it bluntly: Holmes spent the last two drafts picking for the future, but that can only get a team so far — now that we're in the position where this team has the talent to win some goddamn football games, Holmes wants to maximize our ability to do that, and nitpicking that running backs are never worth a second contract is hilariously missing the point.

If running backs are never worth a second contract then getting an extra year on the first one seems like good value especially if he's significantly better than the guys you would be getting on the shorter ones

Sataere posted:But but but the future contracts your missing out on! From the year 2000 to 2020, the Lions picked 24 players in the first round. Of those, six signed contract extensions: Jeff Backus, Calvin Johnson, Matt Stafford, Brandon Pettigrew, Taylor Decker, and Frank Ragnow. Since the 2010 CBA, the Lions also exercised the 5th year option on Nick Fairley, Ziggy Ansah (Who also played an additional year on the franchise tag), and Eric Ebron (Though he was cut before actually playing out his 5th year). This is really more of an indictment of the horrible drafting and contract management that took place during the Millen years (And slightly less horrible though still pretty bad in retrospect Mayhew/Quinn years), but the point still stands: Gibbs might not get a second contract, but neither did Jarrad Davis, Jeff Okudah, or TJ Hockenson, and all those dudes were praised by draft analysts as surefire hits. And if Gibbs helps us get a playoff win (Or, god forbid, an actual championship), then he'll have contributed a hell of a lot more than those duds.

Campbell in particular is such an easy to pick to understand for anyone who actually watched the Lions last year. I mean they were laughably bad at stopping backs or mobile QB's once they reached the second level. We don't beat the Bears this year with the improvements they've made elsewhere if Fields has the license to gouge us like he did last year. Someone along Campbell's athletic profile who could have helped contain that, even just a bit more, might have been worth an extra win or 2.

Football Outsiders has Herbert a hair ahead of Montgomery in running success rate for 2022 (34th overall vs. 39th). It is true that Herbert was way more of a home run hitter (#3 in DVOA vs #22 for Monty) but Montgomery wasn’t really a model of consistency that made up for his lack of explosiveness
