Matt Stafford is the suckiest suck to ever suck

[The King]

Ya. I wouldn't be too offended on a message board in 2019. Froot believes what he believes. He is often very wrong, but at least makes competent arguments.

[froot loops]

I have never been as wrong as you were on the Verlander trade.

[The King]

You seem to have strong attachments to aging high paid players. That's fine. I think you've been around longer than I have and are old school.

Verlander? Good for him. It was never performance, it was not paying someone $25 million on an awful team. That trade got us three cheap prospects and technically Mize as well. Btw, we have the #1 this year.

To tank, you go 100% all in. Not this middling bullshit that results in the yearly purgatory of the Lions/Pistons.

[The King]

You are a loyal fan, but clearly underestimate the concept of modern salary caps and cost controlled players. It's cool, though. I respect your opinion and the fact you still own a landline phone.

[froot loops]

If you can't draft, it doesn't matter at all.

[The King]

Says the guy who backed the cornsucking Hockensuck pick to the death.

[froot loops]

I actually didn't support the pick all that much. But you do you. Once he was drafted I root for Hockenson not to be a bust. I'm not a big draft guy so it's not like I campaigned for anybody but I didn't want them to draft him. You are thinking of Nick P.

[The King]

Whatever. Who cares, anyways. We are all engaged in shared misery with this fucking team. That's bad enough.

[TheLondonLion]

How long is he likely to be out for then?

It sounds like this was a new fracture. It's crazy how you don't notice these things during the game and he was able to carry on playing.

They limit his practice snaps, shoot him up with pain killers and give him an attaboy and march him out on gameday.

This is the Lions method for healing players.

They probably will wait until after Thanksgiving to IR him if it is that bad.

[froot loops]

I don't believe it's a new injury, there have been rumors for months that his back is bad.

[Malto Marko]

I don't believe it's a new injury, there have been rumors for months that his back is bad.

I agree.

I think it is a major change in status from the injury sustained last year.

[froot loops]

Yeah maybe it was aggravated in Oakland. It could be that they want to use his injury as a shield for this year and they pulled it out.

[TheLondonLion]

He's been throwing for 400+ yards every week. Strange.

[froot loops]

One week, last week was the first 400 yard game in awhile. He is tough guy, when they say that it isn't BS. He is the consummate pro who wants to win as a Lion. Not only is he tough, he may be a little delusional.
