More news about Cutler this morning. The Broncos are *officially* soliciting trade offers. If I were the Lions, I would part with the 2nd round pick and nothing more, and there's no way Denver would accept anything less than a 1st. Tons of Lions fans feel Cutler is worth the 1st overall. The theory is the 1st overall is as much a burden as a gift. Teams are forced to pay 1st overall picks an exorbitant amount of money. That's not the right way of looking at it.
The Lions need to realize that they have an opportunity to pick any freakin' player they want! Imagine if they could go back in time and select Julius Peppers? Jake Long? Mario Williams? They need to focus on getting the best possible player. And I don't think that player is Cutler. His antics bely a personality that wouldn't fit great in the D. Besides, if Cutler aint happy in Denver, why would he be happy at 0-16 Detroit? Just keep the pick, and get the best player. I don't want to hear that 1st overall money is too much to spend on a LB. If Curry is the best player, then draft him. This team does not have the luxury of picking for position. They need everything.

ReplyDeleteDude, you speak the truth. I LOVE your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou forget that players get "Lion-ized"...Cutler will suck as a Lion.
ReplyDeleteToo true. Joe Montana can sign with the Lions and he'd be no better than Harrington. Perhaps the Lions should have God come to Detroit for a workout?
ReplyDeleteWell, they get to watch Cutler chew up their defense twice a year now. All the entertainment, with none of the drama (and none of the offense, I guess).
ReplyDeleteWatching the Lions a mercifully limited number of times last year, I realized that scoring was not a problem. They were best with Orlovsky at the helm, but Culpepper was serviceable. Their main issue was defense (and, I guess, untimely turnovers). Whenever the defense needed to get a stop, they failed 100% of the time. Hopefully, the Lions will focus on that side of the ball - just to become competitive. They're about four years away from .500.
