Poor Detroit.
It's stunning, because they really have had some talent over the years. Especially on offense. They just can't put it together.

I think of the late years with Joey Harrington. They had WR's to throw too. Had some big guys on the D line, and had Bly and Goodman in the secondary.
Harrington was such a sorry QB.

California state colleges are out for the fall. Which means no USC or Cal. Which means the odds that there is no college football in 2020 are now incredibly high.
The fact that they made a decision so early also puts some pressure on the NFL/NCAA to clarify the Supplemental Draft/College Eligibility questions for these schools and others.

But hey, the Lions were really good in the 1950's. They won three NFL championships during that decade. I guess they used up all their mojo back then.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑08 May 2020 11:55I think of the late years with Joey Harrington. They had WR's to throw too.

After those championships they traded their great QB Bobby Layne. And he cursed them with the line they won't win for 50 years.williewasgreat wrote: ↑14 May 2020 07:43But hey, the Lions were really good in the 1950's.

I forgot Jon Kitna had a stop there. As well as Jeff Garcia. I don't remember Daunte Culpepper being there either, but he served as a backup for two years.Cdragon wrote: ↑14 May 2020 09:12After those championships they traded their great QB Bobby Layne.

Anyways, yeah, what a terrible team.

My favorite Jon Kitna memory was him throwing a Pick-6 to Nick Collins to seal the game in 2008. He was walking towards the sideline with his helmet off and Collins was barely crossing the 15 yard line on his way to the EZ.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑14 May 2020 16:01I forgot Jon Kitna had a stop there.

Not super clear, but you see the pick and you see Kitna walking off... its one of the first clips.NCF wrote: ↑14 May 2020 19:07My favorite Jon Kitna memory was him throwing a Pick-6 to Nick Collins to seal the game in 2008.

I've seen that highlight video before, and if you don't feel like you just got smacked in the face when it cuts to that Carolina game. Man.

Has been said so many damned times over the years but just imagine if Nick Collins had stayed healthy. I bet we'd have had at least 1 more in the McCarthy/TT era. Just a terrible break we (and he) caught there.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑15 May 2020 13:25I think I remember that.NCF wrote: ↑14 May 2020 19:07My favorite Jon Kitna memory was him throwing a Pick-6 to Nick Collins to seal the game in 2008.

I forgot how good Nick Collins was. Yeah he struggled a little with dropped ints his first couple of seasons, but you could tell he was going to be good. Too bad his career was cut short.
I Met him, very nice guy. Very mellow quiet guy off the field.

Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."
