Only because Daunte sucks and none of the QBs seem all that appealing in the draft.

Culpepper sucks and Orlovsky is not the solution. I’m not sure Stanton is either but I’d keep him on the bench for a few more years anyways. Quinn, Brohm, Cassel? Three interesting options.

Is Quinn a free agent ?

that is intriguing.

I would love Cassel, but i believe i read that Brady is having Major setbacks in his rehab and he may be out for the whole 09 season. The pats wont let Cassel go easily.

just our luck, the Lions have the #1 pick and every QB available is sub par

We were 0-16, If Brady Quinn helps us improve you gotta root for him :)

Living in Chicago, I just realized that Rex Grossman is a free agent, i could almost bet you that the Lions pick him up to compete for the job.

Rey Maualuga

Im done for the day.

I didn’t think that Dan O was horrible. I actually think he proved that he belongs somewhere. Maybe in Detroit while they rebuild….again. He’s got the rapport with the people and besides the safety lapse had played pretty well I thought.

i mainly think that the pats can’t afford two high dollar QB’s unless they slap a franchise tag on cassel and i’m not sure they want to do that. i think we can pursue alot of really good free agents based on the fact that their stock will go up unless we go an amazing 0-16 again cause all the talk on sportscenter will be based on the work they are doing turn the lions around. so basically they’ll get alot of press for just being there if we go 8-8 those free agent signings will get alot of the credit whether they deserve it or not which will make them seem like more valuable assets to the rest of the league. if your one of the best players on a bad team you really stand out just ask Roy and Jerry “regretting it now” Jones

Keep it as is. Build the team around the QB, rather than the other way around

I’m so glad that Marinelli, Cullen, Lake, Millen, and Colletto(moved to offensive line coach) is gone. I think Mayhew can do a good job. Lewand I’m not too sure about. I hear Josh McDaniels is a possibility from the Pats as OC or Head Coach. Schwartz as DC from the Titans. Hell, even bring back Martz as OC at least we could move the ball then. Fire Kwan from ST coach. Get Spagnuolo in here from the Giants. Those are just some of the office changes. I think that Chase Daniel and Graham Harrell are good pick ups in the draft. Obviously we need to work on the OL. The secondary and our linebacking corps need work. I would go though the roster changes but that could be a bit much right now. Us as Lions fans should really be heard in the front office. We know what we want and what could possibly be done to win. Go Lions ’09

Living in NYC and getting Giants news stuffed down my throat during the year I can tell you this – the Giants players LOVE playing for Spagnoulo. He is well respected and players play for him. He also knows how to get the best out of his players and can evaluate DEFENSIVE talent – which we desperately need. I would actually consider coming to Detroit next year for a few games IF they hire Spags.

I say keep him…dnt take a QB in the draft…i know he looked like shit but i think he was rusty…use them draft picks for positions we REALLY need…

I agree 100%, but i also am a big fan of Leslie Frazier. I know this sounds silly but I am extremely optimistic about these coaching prospects. Those two number 1’s that we have potentially can change the face, and direction of this franchise. I’m so excited ( or stupid ) that i just requested season ticket info for next year. The cycle repeats itself

I agree with alot of what is being said. The Lions need to look at what Parcells did in Miami. He started by getting rid of the useless talent big names on the team. Namely Jason taylor old and wanted to dance. He drafted a huge offensive lineman. now he has a guy in place at left tackle for a solid 6 to 8 years. He got a huge Veteran QB in pennigton and the Coach actually put an offense in that was built to suit the players he had. Here I thought only high school coaches did that.

Lets trade one of our 2 first round draft picks away for some much needed depth.(thanks Dallas) Give Philly the first pick of the draft take Mcnabb and their 2nd and 4th pick. Gives us a Vet Qb and a hell of an athlete plus extra picks to build depth at well everywhere. What about Stanton are we even gonna give him a chance to play.. and I mean a fair chance . LOL

but he gets hurt a lot. No way we get all that for the first pick though. We’ll have problems giving it away. No one wants the big ass contract that’s going to come with it.

No the Lions do not need a headache like shockey. He has to much tude and a sidetracked personality is not gonna help a team recover form 0-16. There are some very good TE’s around the league Even Gonzalez wants out of KC. The thing that is overated about TE’s is their abilty to run. Who cares as long as the guy can block and catch the darn ball when it is thrown to him. Shoot how many times does that ball hit TO right in the hands and he looks at ROMO LOL .
