lions rebuild

[kmnj]

the Lions rebuild has gone the way I had hoped ours would have gone and they are set up for the next 3-5 years.

Their gm really has done an amazing job 

they mixed in the perfect amount of vets with homegrown talent and hired a coach that the team would fight for.

I felt bad for Lions fans watching their star defensive stud break his leg.

I have been a jet fan for many decades but I like to see that a trash organization like the Lions can flip the switch on things  as it gives me hope that maybe one day the Jets can do the same.

PS I always wanted Glen to be one of our coaches-guy was a quality player that has a great work eithic

First step interview Robert Saleh and don't hire him.

[Ghost420]

I got laughed at when I said Campbell was a better HC than Saleh when they were both hired.

[Rich Thornburgh]

First step draft a generational OT instead of Zach Wilson

[frankiepapa]

They really fell into it with Goff... what an underrated QB

Well yeah if you draft the right QB that's a big step. But, Lions did it with a vet.

Tbh, I think Campbell gambles too much.  Then again, he apparently had no kicker last year so he had to take some risks.  I get the feeling that Campbell relies heavily on his coordinators and that's fine as long as they stay there.  Probably he loses at least 1 after this year though.

Campbell interviewed here He had ties to the jets too.

I was intrigued by him, but not to the point of pounding the table

i remember when many of the talking heads were downplaying the hiring of dan campbell.  apparently he was too much of a yeller for their taste.  i also remember a lot of people dissing goff saying he was a garbage qb.  somehow campbell got his teams attention.  they had quite a few high draft choices over the past few years so they needed someone to bring them all together.  and maybe goff didn't need an obviously anal coach like mcvay to succeed.

He has a similar problem to Saleh, he may only be as good as his OC is. When Ben Johnson gets a HC job next year they may not be able to sustain their success. 

[DJF71]

All done in under the Jets current 6 years.

We dumped Sam in favor Zach.  That is a 5-10 year franchise killing blunder

Hopefully he’s out next coach

That definitely was a huge blunder. Even if they were to dump Darnold, JD should have traded that #2 pick.

Coaching in the NFL is more important than in any other sport, by a mile.

Detroit hit a grand slam with Campbell and I remember hearing that they thought Saleh interviewed horribly during that hiring cycle. The turnaround was really felt in Campbell’s first year, finishing very strong the 2nd half of the season. They’ve haven’t slowed down since.

I have never felt that this team turned it around in the 3+ years Saleh’s been here, albeit a short month of hope early in 2022.

If you have the right HC + QB you’re a perennial contender.

[Maxta_p]

The Lions and Jets are 2 completely different organizations.

Likely because Saleh offered no actual X's & O's football philosophy during his interviews.  They were all just "go to bed better than you woke up, all gase no brake, be sure to drink your ovaltine" snake oil salesman garbage.

The Lions FO seems capable, meanwhile JD, CJ & Woody all fell for positive vibes only.

Detroit recently drafted a guy #1 overall who just broke his leg really badly. Terrible way to rebuild imo.

Joe Douglas has failed us. Win or lose tonight, does anyone believe that we are a legitimate Super Bowl team?

if I ever got stuck in an elevator with Joe Douglas i would ask him one question and one question only: 

how could you not draft Penei Sewell?

and then he'd probably break me like a pretzel

Was thinking about you during yesterday’s Lions game when Sewell was declared eligible and was targeted by Goff in the end zone.

I don't know how the guys running our team are so f--king dumb every year

Or Mekih Becton.

[Prodigal Syndicate]

I'm told rebuilds take at least 15 years before you can even begin to think about judging them.

Extend Douglas this is a top 5 roster. 30 year contract.

Taking Becton over Wirfs triggered quite the rant from me draft night also. To take a project from Louisville who had to crash diet before the Combine over a stud from OL University under the best OL coach in college history. Unfathomable.

Yeah right.  Jets fans' patience with sh*tty QBs are glacial in length.  Goff would have been...dare I say...a conquering hero here.
