Lamar The Lion

[RobBase]

Soon.

I would love for that to happen, but I am not sure how. If the Raven can not sign him they will franchise tag him. Which means the only way we get him is by trade. Russell Wilson cost 2 1sts, 2 2nds, and 2 decent starters. Jackson would require even more.

All of that is even before we get into Salary cap issues, where going into next year the Lions only have 23 million in cap space with only 34 players under contract.

43 if you assume Goff is on his way out as part of the deal, I can't imagine the Ravens have interest however.

I hate this idea. After almost 5 years in the NFL, I still don't consider him a throwing QB first. He has way too many inconsistencies mechanically in the pocket.

The one plus is that the Lions O-Line would be a help when he deicides to run.

It all depends on if his recent drop in play is team related or not. His year 2 was amazing and he completed 67% of his passes. He has had a decline over the next 3 years. If he gets behind a very good oline I think you have a good chance of getting the elite version of Lamar.

Lamar isn't a 50+M QB.
I'd much rather take the somewhat slower runner, ACL injured, almost identical type mechanically QB Hooker at a much cheaper salary and see how he develops.

This is how you immediately know it’s a great idea.

With Lamar the Lions are SB contenders next year. With an injured rookie there’s no real winning on the horizon. We have players ready to win now.

Unless Lions add a lot of talent to the Defense they are still not contenders.

He’s my favorite player in the game today.

I would lose my mind with excitement if the Ravens somehow don’t lock him up.

Not sure we really deserve to have a player like him tbh. He’d need to retire at like 29, like every other great offensive player Detroit has had in my lifetime.

I’m not even sure Stroud is an improvement on Goff. He definitely wouldn’t be next year. Their skill sets are pretty similar.

 

[VulturesRule]

Lions can win with Goff if the coach learns how to manage the clock and maybe hires an analytics team that DC trusts. The team may be closer than most think.

 

[elguapo]

NO!

 

[Old Lion]

Defense this year and a QB next year. No reason to sell the farm for a QB who can no longer hit the broad side of a barn.

Ravens would be 10-1 if not for him.

 

[Thruthefog]

No to a QB that chokes in the playoffs.

 

[Wazmankg]

Nooo. It's just not necessary. It would be money better spent elsewhere. This offense is clicking and Goff is good enough.. for now, especially behind this OL. There are a lot of QBs that would be good enough behind this OL.

 

[Old Lion]

He is out now. That dream didnt last long

Get all stoked up @RobBase

The Lions could be a free agent destination​

Here’s the only section where I’ll speculate. The culture stuff I just laid out is very visual to everyone else around the league. It’s not a stretch to think that there are players out there that look at the Lions and their culture and think, “I want to be a part of that.” Every player the Lions signed this past offseason mentioned that the team’s culture was a big part of the reason they chose to come to Detroit. Now the Lions don’t only have the culture: they have the success and potentially some serious cap space. One fish seems to already have the Lions on his radar. Keep in mind that could mean nothing and this one will probably never happen for reason that the Lions can’t control.

I told you guys my sources were legit.

So, we trade up to draft him then?
