    if we take Trey Lance, they should fire the new GM before he even starts

    Stafford is a loser. I don’t want any rookie QB learning from him. He’s basically Jay Cutler, except he’s not asshole.

    It’s embarrassing that there isn’t even a statement out saying the team won’t make any decisions until the end of the season.

    Or a report from Schefter/Rappoport about a decision/thought process/timeline. Crickets.

    Maybe it's just taking a long time for him to clean out his office fridge.

    I've been hoping all day that Ford is just waiting for the "dump the garbage" Friday evening release where they fired everyone. I'm losing that hope.

    We aren't going to fall below Jets and Jags so we aren't getting top 2 qbs. Don't think Bengals, Cowboys, Chargers or Eagles taking QBs. Getting a Giants win this week at Bengals would be huge

    Now fire Wood and actually hire a team president to run your operation, please.

    I realize it's not happening, but it should.

    Wanted some opinions. My buddy is a huge Lions fans and we were trying to figure out whats the answer? He said nothing matters and I said the problem is a culture that seems to win 4-7 games every year. I said get rid of the front office and Patricia, and trade Stafford along with any other older parts and just like full rebuild.

    Stafford will never take you far in today's NFL and they need to get young with a guy like Matt Campbell.

    Can't believe they did it. Figured we'd have to suffer through the rest of the year.

    Still it was clear this should have happened 2 and half years ago when he lost by 30 to the Darnold and the Jets

    But seriously, though, fuck Rod Wood. He's got no history whatsoever with football. They say his role isn't a football capacity, yet any time they do anything that gets decent PR (draft, FA signing, etc.) he's in the picture somewhere. He's quoted on the record more than any front office employee (including the owner) about football decisions. And the tag team of him and Quinn seemed like they were the ones responsible for telling Calvin to pay them a completely meaningless amount of money that fucked up that relationship. He's brought nothing positive to the organization, and him simply holding that title keeps what could be a meaningful football voice from being in that position that could help change something and provide some semblance of leadership for an organization and an owner that desperately needs it.

    TL;DR - fuck Rod Wood.

    Well Ford set us back further waiting to make this move and threatening they had to make playoffs this year. Bad contracts and picks to try to compete now when we should have started rebuild already

    Happy but not optimistic because of who is hiring the replacements

    Aren’t him and Stafford friends? He’s probably getting that directly from him.

    Id love a complete restart with new QB but we won too many games this year to get top QB prospects. If Lawrence, Fields and Wilson all off the board I think you try and get a LT, DE or another position like that and wait a year on QB. I will honestly not pretend to know enough about Trey Lance to say he could potentially be that guy.

    Take Rod Wood out of the Team President spot and let him be an advisor (or create a different title where he only handles the business stuff).

    Hire Louis Riddick to be Team President, and let him hire a GM and coach.

    Maybe not suck at some point in my lifetime.

    If that means selling tickets, then he might be the best in the bizness....they should have had the crowds they have had this year for years.

    He managed the Ford family’s money before they put him in charge of the Lions. The optimist in me thought that the only reason to put someone like that in charge of an NFL team would be to increase the value for a sale, but alas.

    He seems well liked by his players, however it’s all dependent on which team we get a GM from. I don’t see any of those college guys coming here given the roster, and the fact we don’t have a top 3 pick in draft.

    Herman Moore is pushing Chris Spielman for GM. I’m fine with that if it means he doesn’t ever call another game of ours.

    Giants and Falcons winning are good results for us. Need Carolina to hold on as well.
