I can't wait to watch the Lions scored 30 points and barely win / lose every game this year.

Training camp reports really highlight how rolling the offense is (as expected).

But it's against the Detroit "Defense".

Reminder that the Lions head coach is a rapist who got hired for his defensive acumen.

Also, Patricia is a huge fan of running the ball. Before game days last year, Patricia would burst into Bevells hotel room at night and force his running the ball philosophy into Bevell.

Sportrac says Lions can cut Goff after the 2022 season with $0 cap hit, so maybe he is the perfect fit for a rebuild. Young and talented enough to potentially turn it around, but easy enough to eject if he doesn’t. His cap hit of $25.5M in 2022 probably means Detroit doesn’t go QB with their first pick this year, right?

the good news is that if the new GM and coach are incompetent we will know right away, and the outcome of this trade is otherwise irrelevant if that's the case

wanting to run it back with Rodgers aside, i would assume the packers had 0 interest in taking on Goff

their idea was to smoothly transition from Rodgers to Love, as with Favre to Rodgers, taking Goff would mean going into full rebuild mode while you wait out his albatross contract

For the Lions, I feel like trading for Goff actually gives the new regime a sense of security. Drafting a young QB who turns out to be a bust would make them look bad, whereas having Goff as your starter (with the understanding that he can't be gotten rid of for the first couple years) ensures that fan and owner expectations remain reasonable while they compile picks and young players. Goff's contract is like a shield that enforces patience.
