I thought that as well tonight. Him and Hutch.... whoa. No idea on what it might cost, etc. I doubt it's even workable. Not sure how much I expect BH to be spending a lot / trading for something that big.

Time to bring up Gilmore?

We have a baseline, just like when you talk about Surtain, there's a recent deal that lines up almost nearly perfectly. Mack was traded to the Bears for 2 first round picks (there was other stuff that largely washed out). But Crosby is sort of the identity of that team right now. Nobody saw the Mack trade coming but that was all about Gruden flexing rather than paying Mack his extension. Crosby has already received his big extension and he's the face of that franchise in their newish home. He's not going anywhere.

You’re right about Crosby but wow is he a handful. He’s fun to watch.

btw I’d pay the price for Surtain. We don’t have any holes across the board with our starters. If it costs 2 firsts then do it. Denver is in such a bad spot right now they might actually do it. That team is so far from winning and on top of that they’re dysfunctional.

Sean Payton should have stayed in the booth

Both Glenn & Campbell are from the Sean Payton tree. I gotta imagine that the transition from Denver to Detroit wouldn't be that bad.

Brad Holmes drafts too well to give up multiple high round draft choices for one player....Out luck as soon as the trade is done, Sutain would fall down the stairs of the plane and be out for the season...let Brad do what he does best...That is how the team will maintain winning long term.

I don’t disagree but at some point it has to be about high caliber players. Surtain is that right now. Our defense is playing great ball but we haven’t beat a great offense minus KC.

Just look at how much better this team is from last year. The glaring change is that we have a #1 cb where as last year we didn’t. Surtain is one of the best young corners and would
move Sutton to a #2 cb making the D that much stronger.

At some point you start making gambles.

It was the 2013 season, as you recalled correctly.

It was also the last year Jim Schwartz was our Head Coach and the last season William Clay Ford was Owner, mismanaging the team for 50 seasons, including this one, as the 2013 Detroit Lions finished 7-9 after starting the season 6-3 and leading the NFC North at the time.

The team went 1-6 to end the season with their record and finished 3rd in the NFC North.

Fuck me that's brutal.

I remember the Giants game down the stretch, the battle of who wanted it less. The Ravens kicking that 70,000 yard field goal the week prior killed Schwartz's whole career. He misses that kick, maybe we win the division. It wouldn't have mattered though because Gym Shorts was losing the locker room and the whole city. I remember him getting booed and he got pissed at the fans. And I remember some player (I keep thinking Cliff Avril but he was gone at that time but it was an edge guy I believe) saying a couple years later that when it was getting bad he talked to Gym Shorts in his office, and Coach looked him in the eyes with his crossed ass eyes and lied to the player's face, and the guy was like "Yep, that's when I lost respect for Coach."

I can't see MCDC ever doing that kind of shit.

That's probably why no former Head Coach of the Detroit Lions picked by William Clay Ford Sr. in his lifetime was ever offered another Head Coaching gig in the NFL.

Ironically enough, Jim Caldwell had a winning record before coming to Detroit, and he left Detroit with a winning record, but hasn't been able to get another head coaching gig.

To make the Martin Mayhew/Bob Quinn mediocre mishmash work into a 9-7 at best team outside of the 2014 11-5 outlier is really impressive even though I thought that Coach Caldwell could only take a team a certain distance and no further.

It's OK everyone. Taylor Swift is at the game tonight to watch Russ cook.
