This is an example of successful culture change…the Lions are on finally track.

And what would you know anyway, your Vikings haven’t done so well with their approach of “renting a quarterback” in hopes of winning a Super Bowl! You can go bro.

If Tulloch can be had reasonably then he’s a keeper. They need one of the FA CB’s out there preferably Finnegan.

I don’t know if the backfield of Best, LeShoure, and Smith is one that can stay healthy all year. We need a horse….

Another Great WR that would be more usefull in carolina then in detroit sorry we got the better QB then stafford and he would complement smithy very well
———————————————–

Tremendous failure of a post. Too preposterous to even be viewed as comedy.
1. Stafford threw twice as many TD’s as Newton with fewer picks, and half those came when throwing with a broken finger.
2. How is being a downfield decoy for a QB who rushes half the time make him “more useful” than scoring scads of TDs like he does now?
3. Calvin doesn’t “complement” anybody. He would instantly become the #1 WR on any team.

giants have no high paid WR’s this year or 4 years ago and won 2 Super Bowls…..
so why is it important to pay this dude big bucks?

==============

Giants have had talented receivers in both their Super Bowls. It’s not like they have had scrubs at the position. Cruz is going to get paid this offseason as well. Calvin is better then the Giants receivers by far. Giants had a better defense/running backs/offensive line in the years they won the Super Bowl as well. Look who Brady has won his Super Bowls with, no high paid wide outs there either. You dont let one of the best PLAYERS in the game walk away from your team, that does not make the team better .

They will iron out a contract for his services and that will be it. Maybe they could get Randy Moss on the other side, wow wouldn’t that be a mess.

No running game and your defense got torched a lot last year. Not too mention there r too many issues like stompin on players and things showing immaturity. Get those thing fixed then talk superbowls all u want.

The Auburn Hills Pistons have lots of work to do however…

Instead of articles that are titled, “Lions are on the clock” we are getting stuff like this…

Hopefully, with his great work ethic and humble, team-first attitude, he is ushering in a new gold standard of WR for the league.
