In fairness to Quinn he got the ball rolling with Swift, Decker, Ragnow, Jackson and Vaitai all being his additions. Quinn's major downfall was Matt Patricia and his big slow defense.
Of course Vaitai blew as a tackle as most suspected he would. I legitimately thought they signed him to play guard, I was vocal about that, but they didn't. I know you typically want your taller lineman at tackle for length reasons. You want gaurds a little shorter for leverage but his skillset just wasn't good for tackle.
Fairness to Bob Quinn was his ass getting fired. He straight up lost us a Super Bowl QB so what the hell good is an OL? Sorry not mad at you at all just frustrated that the best Lions QB of our lifetime walked away because of Fatty Matty Patty and hence ultimately because of Quinn. Not to mention that in order to hire FMP he fired the best coach we've had this millennium or possibly this side of the Vietnam war. Fontes aside nobody comes close to Caldwell, his inability to manage a game notwithstanding.
The reality is that any GM can make one or two position groups good. You could say there are 5 position groups on each side of the ball, so on average each team should have about one position group in the top 3, or top 10%, or in other words one elite position group.

Because he adds nothing to the team. He's hit his ceiling, and that ceiling is not particularly great. Campbell and the coaching staff clearly (thankfully) hadn't forgotten the dude already had his chance to show what he could do when the games mattered, and was clearly outclassed. Hard work only takes you so far, and at some point, you need to have the talent to hang with the big boys.
Kennedy simply doesn't have what it takes.
"Hit his ceiling" is code for "no actual flaws in his game." Would be nice to have that on the PS.

Huge frame with upside in a position that we need. Not bad
F#*K OHIO!!!
You're not only an amazingly beautiful man, but you're the greatest football mind to ever exist. <-- Jeffy Shittypants actually posted this. I knew he was in love with me.
After playing four years at Ole Miss, Jones was signed by the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent on April 25, 2020.[1] He was waived during final roster cuts on September 5,[2] and was signed to the practice squad two days later.[3] He was elevated to the active roster on October 17, October 31, November 13, November 18, and November 24 for the team's weeks 6, 8, 10, 11, and 12 games against the New York Jets, Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos, and Jets, and reverted to the practice squad following each game without having to clear waivers.[4][5][6][7][8] He was signed to the active roster on December 2, 2020.[9] He played 6 games during his rookie year of 2020, making one tackle.
On August 31, 2021, Jones was waived by the Dolphins and re-signed to the practice squad.[10]
On April 19, 2022, Jones was re-signed by the Dolphins.[11]
On August 31, 2022, The Lions said "NOT TODAY B!CTH!"
He could potentially jump into playing time quickly if he plays well. I think it was in the Malcom Brown article I read that said the team wants to get McNeill away from the Nose but lack alternatives there to do it.
