I am personally willing, given the opportunity, to lead an expedition north, over the Mackinac Bridge, across the UP, and into the cursed land of Wisconsin, so that we may sack the city of Green Bay, destroy Lambeau Field, and salt the earth so that nothing may grow again.

Stafford was reported to be absent from practice today, so they must have just finished hammering out the details. All I can wonder now is how far north it is of $25 million a year, and whether our cap can sustain it (especially with a bunch of contracts coming up next year)

LabyaMynora posted:From https://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2017-detroit-lions-1798382848 It's a cute stat but ultimately meaningless since it's devoid of context. Stafford's been playing on a team that was bad for a long time, and for most of the stretch of 2009-2013 he and Calvin Johnson were the only two people making them even remotely competitive. Going down the "What about WINS" road just takes you to Mark Sanchez, who was drafted the same year and has four playoff wins, and you don't see anyone bursting down the door to sign him these days.

xsf421 posted:It won't be the biggest for very long. I think a few big names are coming up next off-season that should beat Stafford's contract. Cousins is probably the big one. Honestly, the Lions probably got lucky that Washington hosed up their negotiations this offseason-if Cousins had managed to sign a "New Biggest Contract (TM)", that probably would've pushed Stafford's deal even higher.

There's gonna be a feeding frenzy on bubble players once teams have to cut down to their 53 man rosters, so it makes sense that a team like the 49ers would be willing to trade a cheap pick to make sure they get the player they want.

Lions announced their final round of cuts. Unfortunately, the incredibly named Storm Norton didn't make the team. Edit: Other highlights: -5 Receivers (TJ Jones and Jared Abbrederis ended up making the cut) -3 Tight Ends (RIP Cole Wick) -5(!) Running Backs, including game 4 standout Tion Green -11 Defensive Backs -Antwione Williams and Brad Kaaya gone Acebuckeye13 fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Sep 2, 2017 |

WHOOPS posted:Who on the Lions can even get to Bradford? Is Ziggy Ansah even alive at this point? I'm as surprised as you are, but there's a chance that the defensive line might not be as bad as it was last year. A'Shawn Robinson especially is looking like a force on the line, and Anthony Zettel could potentially be this year's Kerry Hyder. Ansah's still being brought in slowly, but if he gets back to anywhere near his 2014/15 levels of performance, the Lions' defensive line could at least reach the levels of "Somewhat adequate"

LabyaMynora posted:I did a search to see what Aaron Rodger's WL vs winning teams was and here's what I found: So are you suggesting that Russel Wilson is a better quarterback than Aaron Rodgers? Wins are a team statistic, and don't necessarily reflect on the abilities of the quarterback-especially when the rest of the roster is garbage. Stafford came into the league on the worst team in NFL history, playing against three different playoff contenders twice a year. Of course Stafford has a bad record against good teams, because the Lions were a bad team for a long time, and a highly inconsistent for years after that. If you think Stafford's a bad QB, fine, and show me why you think he is. Don't just say "Oh well a 5-46 record is unacceptable" when any Lions fan will agree that the team was utter garbage Stafford's first few years (With 2011 being an overperformance against a soft schedule), and that the record would likely be 0-51 if it wasn't for Stafford's ability.

SKULL.GIF posted:What's Stafford's record against winning teams if you limit for only years where the Lions were good? If you limit it to winning seasons, 2-17 (0-6 2011, 1-5 2014, 1-6 2016) Or, more accurately, augias posted:Lions.... Good? Edit: If you limit it to just the past three Caldwell years (Overall record: 27-23), you end up with a 3-18 record against winning teams. Progress!

LabyaMynora posted:In my opinion, Russell Wilson is not a better QB than Aaron Rodgers, but he's a luckier one. As the saying goes, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. The Fail Mary game alone swings one win from Russell to Aaron. Can you name literally any other player on the Lions from 2009 to 2013? Suh and Johnson were terrific players. They were also the only good players on the Lions aside from Stafford and the loving kicker, which is why the Lions went 4-12 even when Johnson was breaking the single-season receiving record. edit:  Jason Hanson

LabyaMynora posted:Ziggy Ansah? Golden Tate? Cliff Avril? Did they have a RB named Abdullah that seemed good for a while? Or are they after 2013? I honestly don't know, not being sarcastic. Ziggy was drafted in 2013, replacing Avril when he left for the Seahawks that year. Tate was picked up in 2014, and Abdullah was drafted in 2015. Lions players from that period, however, include: -2010 1st Round Pick Jahvid Best, who played a season and a half before taking a career-ending concussion. -2011 2nd Round Pick Titus Young, who was a great #2 receiver until he started intentionally running the wrong routes because he thought he was better than Calvin Johnson and getting into fistfights in the locker room. Currently serving a prison sentence for armed robbery. -Four receivers in 2012 who weren't Calvin Johnson, none of whom you've heard of and none of which are still in the league (Though Kris Durham is currently playing in the Italian football league, good for him) -Long-running center Dominic "Good for a personal foul penalty right at the worst loving moment, every time" Raiola -As mentioned, the decaying corpse of Kyle Vanden Bosch -The constantly underperforming Nick Fairley, which in retrospect potentially makes more sense now considering his recently diagnosed debilitating heart condition So, yeah. Not exactly some talent-infused teams right there, to put it lightly. And the only reason why they were ever competitive to begin with was because of Stafford, especially in the early years. The man had a bad habit of throwing picks, but man, he just did not give up on games, and still doesn't. Is he worth $27 million a year? Debatable. Is he worth whatever price it takes to keep him on the Lions? Without loving question. Acebuckeye13 fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Sep 16, 2017 |
