Miami and Tenn have recntly and actually almost all those teams have had new GM's within the last 5 years.

Again though, we're starting to compare which shit storm or dumpster fire is worse or better.

Maybe, I did not check how long the GMs were there. Keep in mind we actually made the playoffs 2 of the 7 years where those other teams did not. So far both the new and old ones did not.

Agree though that we are just comparing whos dumpster fire is bigger.

Team Last earned appearance in post-season Seasons
Buffalo Bills ^ 1999 AFC Wild Card Playoffs 15
Oakland Raiders ^ Super Bowl XXXVII 12
Cleveland Browns ^ 2002 AFC Wild Card Playoffs 12
St. Louis Rams 2004 NFC Divisional Playoffs 10
Jacksonville Jaguars ^ 2007 AFC Divisional Playoffs 7
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2007 NFC Wild Card Playoffs 7

All of these teams have not even made the playoffs in 7 years. Miami and Ten it will be their 7th year this year. Plenty of teams who have not won a playoff game in over a decade.

Most of these teams have not changed GMs in a while.
That's 6 teams, not ten.

And I know Farmer took over for Kevin Costner in 14. The Bills dude is in his third year and Licht is in year 2 in Tampa.

I gotta look up the Rams, Raiders and Jags. But 1/3 of GMs aren't anywhere near as shitty for anywhere near as long as Mayhew.

I don't see how it gets worse tbh. We haven't won a playoff game in two decades.

Yeah maybe it is more like 1/4 not 1/3. and we are due. At the very least he has done a terrible job at hiring coaches.

I'd say the Lions fit right in there w teams like the Browns, Raiders, Jags and Rams. Except that most of those teams have SB rings.

None of those in their current city or makeup. Lions are light years ahead of all those teams except the Rams. They are more talented then Rams as well and more than most for the last several years. The coaches have been dreadful with the exception of Austin.

Atleast were not the Browns.

That I can say in all seriousness.

I can't imagine how miserable my life would be if our Lions moved to LA, changed their name and started winning Super Bowls. And we got our Lions back and continued to suck the chrome off tailpipes as a franchise.

Lions only winless team in the NFL. That's gotta count for something.

True. It always will. At some point the wins and losses have to matter.

Is Van Noy still on the roster? (He's a 2nd rounder, so I gotta ask)

I'm liking the input you post whore.

Until Mayhew is gone, there is no hope for this team. He's a blithering idiot who thinks a TE is more important than tackles on either side of the ball. The Lions need someone who at least understands the basics. Mayhew thinks that if no one gets in trouble, it's a successful season. Fuck him and his slack-jawed ways.

This is why the "fire the OC" talk is not enough. Our problems go way deeper than that.

Exactly. You don't use a broken part to fix the engine.

The Browns are pretty much at Millen level.

Oakland has had a couple impressive drafts with Cooper, Carr, and Mack.

Redskins just made one huge mistake with RG3.

Jags I don't even pay attention too unless Mayhew is busy farming from their scrap heap.
