I hope the Packers suck, the Vikings are mid, the Bears make the playoffs and the Lions win the super bowl.

Welp looks like that Rodgers to Jets trade might be alive after all.

I think the Jets would love to give up two first round picks for a downgrade from Mike White.

Stafford went for two firsts, a third, and Jared Goff. Packers will likely keep some of Rodgers' contract if he's traded to sweeten the pot, but yeah I don't see him going for much less than two firsts.

Rodgers is definitely one of the QBs in this situation but it's not 2021 Stafford.

I think the absolute minimum is one first along with conditional picks that escalate if he actually plays extra seasons.

I think the absolute minimum is that you're stuck with him and have to do more void year bullshit while he keeps playing like poo poo.

Which to be fair Jordan Love would play like poo poo too but at least he would do it for less money.

let's be real, one of those firsts was because they were taking on Jared Goff

I think this forum tends to supremely underrate quarterbacks worth while treating them as the most important player on the team

I think this forum is just accurately rating one specific quarterback.

While that does sound hilarious, I simply cannot risk him becoming MVP Rodgers again.

Dude’s got to go.

I don’t care if he ends up in a highly advanced computer simulation of Renaissance Italy. Just so long as he’s out of the NFC and this division.

1. That's not gonna happen.

2. If it does, who cares? The Lions' goal is to win a Super Bowl, they're gonna have to beat good teams with good QBs to do that.

Soooooooooooooooo...

The Lions should absolutely sign Lamar Jackson, right? This feels like a golden opportunity for Detroit.

It's either sign him to a fully guaranteed deal that the Ravens won't match or sign-and-trade 6 and 18 plus probably other stuff for him, right?

Nobody is going to be like "oh man, I thought I was gonna play with Goff this year, but now I'm stuck with Lamar Jackson, gently caress this poo poo" lol

I mean, except Goff.

# ¿ Mar 8, 2023 02:51

MJeff: Jun 2, 2011; THE LIAR

With Lamar, I'm less concerned about the money than the fact that he hasn't finished the season two years in a row.

If the Lions made a move for him and acquired him, I wouldn't complain about it but I think I'd rather draft somebody and develop them behind Goff. Which is obviously a loving lotto ticket compared to Lamar Jackson, but I dunno. I kinda trust this team to find players and develop them, too? :shrug:

It's very big and messy and complicated and I feel like I'm working myself into a tizzy for nothing and when draft day comes, the Lions will just take two defensive players with 6 and 18 and then they'll grab a QB prospect in like the third round and everybody will be like "yeah, duh."

Theres no fuckin way the Lions, doing what they have done, will invest so much (money and draft) for Lamarr Jackson. He's not a fit in their plan.

I generally agree except for the fact that QB is just such an important position, sometimes you kinda have to break all the rules to get The Guy.

Well, the Lions are winning this division either way with how much of a dumpster fire the rest of your lovely teams are, that I'm not worried about.

I think the more likely scenario is the Vikings win the division while the lions put up a respectable 7 wins after a disastrous start

I hope not, only getting 5 wins out of 15 games would be really disappointing.

# ¿ Mar 9, 2023 04:37

MJeff: Jun 2, 2011; THE LIAR

I've been mostly ambivalent to this whole process but if it actually happens I'll be mildly annoyed because I do think Rodgers will probably do just enough for that defense to carry them to some wins.

Hot drat, that's a spicy Bears!

Now put an o-line in front of Justin Fields, please.

I think Carolina has the best coaching staff in the league and their pick will be below the bears next year

Edit: Moore is like 3 years younger than I realized, that cheers me up

I tend to agree with this, I think Carolina has a really good coaching staff. They could easily be a surprise next year.

Are the Packers letting him go because of off the field issues? He fell off a little last year but he wasn�t awful and was playing with a broken thumb

His contract is very bad and it's not like he's gonna be less likely to be physically compromised somehow in his age 39-40 season.

Yeah, and it's been barely 2 months since he played potentially his last football game for the Packers. There's 5 months until summer camp starts. I don't understand the people who say he's dragging it out.

When he said he would have an answer when he came back from his darkness whatever, then he bailed out halfway through and that was like three weeks ago and we're still waiting, then I start to think this motherfucker is on his "I want more headlines" poo poo again.

I had a feeling. The dude broke Barry Sanders' record, he was gonna demand money and, well, Brad Holmes doesn't seem like the "pay a 27 year old running back a ton of money" kind of GM.

(watch the Lions trade for and pay Austin Ekler a bunch of money because I said 27. :v:

Just from a "player relations" standpoint it seems dumb not to bring back Williams. The guy seemed like he absolutely loved and lived Detroit, and from all indications the locker room loved him.

I guess business is business but drat.

I hope it doesn't hurt morale, but, well. The Lions were never gonna be able to retain every player that did cool stuff. It hurts that it's one of the coolest guys on the roster, for sure.

Jamaal Williams and Breece Hall would be an absolutely excellent duo for Rodgers to constantly check out of plays to so he can hurl the ball 5 feet over his receivers head, then death glare at them for now telescoping their arms to catch it.

So hey does the Lions signing Mosley and Sutton preclude them from taking a CB at 6 or 18?

They could also be like �gently caress it. Who needs linebackers?� and go Carter at 6 and Kancey ay 18.

Just a D-Line made entirely out of depleted uranium.

Am I nuts for kinda wanting them to sign Bobby Wagner?

I like how the Lions are building their team. I think they should just continue to load up on the D-line. Carter is a no brainer at 6 if Seahawks don't grab him. Wilson seems like a stud too.

Is there any chance they'd take Levis or Richardson at 6 to play behind Goff for a year? Feels like with the direction of the team and how bad that division might be for awhile, they may not have another shot to get a QB at the top of the draft for awhile.

A lot of people are talking about it, but, poo poo, a lot of people were talking about the Lions taking Malik Willis at 2 last year.

I'd be kinda ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh with Richardson at 6 but honestly pretty okay with him at 18. But I don't think he's getting to 18.
