Greg Jennings over Calvin Johnson for the best receiver in the NFC North??? Dude, you’re gonna catch some heat over that one here.

Donald Driver is much, much better than Berrian. And Northcutt and Hester should not even be on this list… but, I’ll give you that the WR talent in the NFC North is pretty poor. Packers first four receivers are better than either of those two. I wouldn’t be afraid to throw a Percy Harvin in there regardless of experience. What about Bryant Johnson… easily better than Nortcutt, Hester and Wade.

At tackle, Janson’s not even a starter. If you’re going to put a Lion in there, put one that starts. As for Orlando Pace, he’s a huge question mark and not even guaranteed to start. Remember, they drafted Chris Williams last year.

How about E.J. Henderson over Larry Foote… seriously? Henderson’s not all that great – check his game film.

Tommie Harris and Kevin Williams are both way better than Pat Williams. Pat Williams is big, but his skills are somewhat diminished.

Okay, I think that’s enough. I feel like I’m being overly mean, now. But this list needs some work.

and I’d also add that I don’t think that Sims is currently one of the three best LBs in the division. I’d actually swap him with Greenway.

why not add DELMAS to the list as well ….the NFC North isnt the strongest division and if we are not considering experience for the starting list why not add DELMAS to the mix he has shown good ball skills and should be a much much better Saftey than the LIONS have had in the past Decade…

You are/or…;

1. A Packers or Bear’s fan
2. Have no clue who Larry Foot or Cliff Avril are
3. Could care less who plays on the Lions… ‘because their the Lions’
4. Know the name “Jon Jansen”, but do not realize that he will not start at Tackle for the Lions.

Try reading up on ALL the teams of the NFC North… Being ignorant of the ‘0-16’ team…. well… makes you look ignorant.

The Saint’s SB Nation blog has a poll about the first game of the season, and who will win it.

Only 2 votes for the Lions…1 is mine, If you guys are bored enough, I’d like to see that number grow.

that “number5” never comes back here and defends these posts? What gives? I guess if I posted this stuff, I wouldn’t want to see the backlash either.

Anything seem strange about this, or is it just me? Wikipedia shows that this is Harris’ last year in Green Bay.

Why would you compliment a divisional rival like that?

What do the Lion’s have to trade for Harris that the Packers need? Stanton?

Or am I just reading too far into this.

Stanton? As in your backup QB Stanton? I don’t think so. I would take any of our 3 QB’s now over him. Probably a 4th round pick or 5th round pick, Thompson loves his draft pickss. I doubt we would trade him in the first place though.

At least you mentioned K Smith and Megatron….but seriously, start Jennings over C Johnson…REALLY? Do you watch the same games on Sunday that I do? And, honestly, I’m NOT that impressed with Forte; K Smith would have had as good a rookie season if he had had the same number of carries (which he would have, had not the Lions fallen behind so far IN EVERY GAME) and had started for every game.

…just for surviving that last horrible season (and that was our LAST horrible season) and coming back to play for another year. I have always told my children, when encountering “adversity” and faced with the prospect of giving up/in, that I would keep trying so long as the Lions are still playing football.
