Deal in place with curry, hinges on stafford.

[JeremyHight]

I want Smith and Mauluga, but if we get Curry and Britton, I will be happy.

I hope and pray we don't get Stafford. While many say we won't play him this year, I still think he would see way too much action considering we'll probably be out of the playoff hunt within the first 7 weeks of the season. The fans will be clammoring for the new prospect and we'll have no real reason to keep having Culpepper out there to flounder.

Anyone with eyes know that our biggest needs are on offensive line and on the defense, putting a QB out there as a sacrificial lamb will only hurt things.

But there's just as many questions about those two guys.

Smith was never in a three point stance and hardly ever had to run-block at Baylor. We're obviously going to ask him to do that in the NFL, but is he capable of mauling guys?

And Maualuga didn't play on 3rd down in college. We need an every down guy that's going to make a substantial impact.

And for the gajillionth time... Stafford will not play next season if he is not ready. Period.

And I seriously can't stand the Lions' fanbase and how negative they can be. Talking about next year's draft or saying we're out of the hunt after week 7 honestly makes me sick to my stomach. I don't give a fuck what happened last year, this is 2009, let's go win a Superbowl. Yeah, I get it, you're being "realistic". In your realistic world, did you have Miami beating New England last year? How about Atlanta in the post-season? ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.. BE POSITIVE ABOUT YOUR FOOTBALL TEAM.

lions wouldn't take sam bradford next year becuz tim tebow will be available lol.

But I'm liking how Detroit will end up saving money and that means majority of the draft picks will be signed and with the big FA market they'll be likely to pick some people up...

(side note they should look at picking m. harrison up.

If the Lions take Curry thats a shitload of money tied up at LB , Peterson - Sims - Curry . Just something to think about.

Source?

Why do you keep insisting this is true? Same thing was said about Joey (he played). Everybody knows its better to let the QB sit a year, but when you're team is 2-6 and your QB is stinking up the stadium...they have a tendency to "be ahead of where we expected him." A glance around the league and you'll see how many QBs were going to watch all season that suddenly end up playing around Week 10.

Thats not even accounting for the injury possibility. Culpepper has a very shaky past health wise, do you think we are going to put Drew Stanton in over Stafford if 'pep blows out his knee again?

Lets be real about the NFL. Its a business. Owners want Jerseys being bought, fans turning on the TV appearances, publicity and everything else. If an owner thinks that starting the rookie QB is going to bring that on, that has a tendency to happen.

2010 is an uncapped year. The NFL is making money hand over fist even in these down times. Its kind of irrelevant at this point.

I never actually thought of the uncapped year .

they better figure out to fix that...

or else eventually we'll have the New York Yankees of football because teams like Dallas will buy everyone while teams like Green Bay who have survived because of the NFL shared revenue will be at a loss.

well not to jump the gun but lockout/strike seems to be inevitable no way are players going to want a cap and owners will not go without one. The issue that seems to be the one that will get hammered out first is the rookie cap.
