Lions get 3rd Rounder for Tate

[broncosmitty]

Golden Tate has to fuckin love life so much right now.


That douche.

This is prolly the dumbest Lions trade in my lifetime. Completely fucking pointless. and the players quit. But I love how folks try to make themselves think it wasn't stupid. That's fun to read.

Why is it bad?

You wanted to keep him here just to punish him didnt you?

I cut Staff in multiple fantasy leagues this week.


And fantasy is the only reason I'm even kinda watching Lions games at this point.


Trading Tate has dropped his value below Mayfield and Dalton sans Green. Which sucks.

We traded our #1 receiver and a fourth for a third.


And threw away the season in doing it. In a season where the division was up for grabs.

I still have faith that Dixon Machado will be Detroit's starting 2B in 2019. Goodrum does not have a Mexican background and Machado is currently in the middle of one of the caravans heading north.

It was his last year and these guys are trying to build a franchise, not just win 1 season.

That being said I am not sure why they are hesitating with Powell. Brought in Ellington instead.

Give away the best YAC receiver in the NFL with short passing game as your bread and butter.

I guess I could understand for a third because there is no guarantee that you would get a full 3rd rounder compensatory selection.

But giving up a 4th rounder is as lame as taking a red hot shit after eating a bunch of Taco Bell.

Might as well let him walk and hope you get a third rounder as a compensatory pick. Plus you lost all the players in the locker room in the process.

Lions should be eyeing a top ten pick. But knowing the Lions, they will fuck that up and win a couple meaningless games when they are already out of the playoff picture.

It was halfway thru a season with Detroit one game back and 1-0 in the division.


Quin Already has thrown away two seasons of Staffs prime. That isn't made up of infinite seasons. If this was a rebuilding year coming into the season, you don't tag and keep Ziggy. You address multiple
Positions with all that salary. You improve depth. You build.

Total waste of a year.

Not a surprise from a franchise with a fucking Ford Accountant as team President. Organization has never had a serious plan to succeed.

 

[broncosmitty]

Nick Bosa would walk away from this team if he gets stuck being on it.

Ford hires buddy accountant as president.
Quin hires buddy head coach.
Fat Pat hires buddy defensive coordinator.

Golden rule of business.
You never hire your friends.

 

[VulturesRule]

Has hell frozen over? The Lions front office has made two deals and I absolutely love both of them?

Well.....

 

[Old Lion]

Well.....
