I don’t want to rain on anyones parade, but it appears that suh was placed between the two leaders to keep him in line. He is NO leader and to assumuming he is becoming one after such a pathetic season is rediculous at best. Respect is earned. Suh is in time-out!

One of the Top 3 Dirty Players in the NFL.

Fully expect Goddell to suspend Suh for 1 year after his next stomp.

Hey Suh! American History X was just a MOVIE. Stop trying to extract “revenge” for your fellow black felons, as it was just a MOVIE and didn’t really happen.

Best movie scene ever though.

Silverdeer- That was my lame attempt @ sarcasm, sorry it offended you so much. And yes I know the game of football and Suh isnt even the dirtiest player in the NFL today(although he is dirty sometimes) let alone 60′s n 70′s. Don’t get so worked buddy its just the comment section of a blog.

Suh just needs to shut his mouth and learn how to be a clean DL for the lions mybe in 5 to 7 seasons he might be a team captain. he is still imature right now

silverdeer:

What they did in the 60′s and 70′s was pretty much all legal, there wasn’t a whole lot that wasn’t back then.

Seriously.

Suh – you’ve certainly got the talent, so STOP playing stupid and let the rest come naturally.

IOW – grow up

If Suh says he wants to be a leader, people hate on him and say “the best way to be a leader is….stomp”. If Suh says he’s working on fundamentals so he can be a better player on the field, people say “he needs to stop……stomp”. If an article comes out about how he’s the most charitable athlete in the NFL, people say….I think you get the point.
—————————————–

If Suh whips a QB to the ground for no reason, he gets a Chrysler commercial. If Suh rips the helmet off another QB, he gets a Subway commercial. Suh then pushes the envelope to stomping on another player and he’s FINALLY hammered for his behavior. Get the point?

First chances lead to second chances lead to third chances lead to fourth chances….

When a player pushes it too far and there’s a backlash there’s always an apologist in the wings with a sixth chance a bucket of sanctimoniousness.

Lions fan here. I have no issue with Suh wanting to be in a position of leadership but leaders take responsibility for their actions. If he’s going to be taken serious he’ll need to admit his past faults and show what it means to lead by example. What happened to Fairley is an embarrassment and would like to see the organization takes those steps and punish him before the league or courts. It’s time to set the presidence from within and send a message. No one is above the team and if they think they are it’s time to go.

In order for him to be a leader, they’ll need to unscrew his head, remove his brain, and install a new one that allows self-control.

Step 1 to becoming a leader: Stop getting pancaked by the Packers’ back-up guard, and getting suspended for acting like a petulant child.

Why not take it one step at a time, starting with learning how to drive.

Now THIS is proof that Suh is the Dirtiest player to ever walk the face of the earth.
================

Not sure Ndamukong Suh is the best person to be lecturing others on their driving.

I like the idea of him being better on the field regarding those dirty moves he pulled. Too bad he didnt mention it in the quotes.

I like the idea of him one day being a strong leader, the guy is the best defensive player they have, it only makes sense. After hearing him talk again, I am not so sure his intellect is ready for much leading, leaders can speak and articulate clearly at a minimum, maybe the Lions should send him back to school for a year. Think about it, he gets an education (finally), he cleans up his act, he gets insanely hungry, and when he comes back youve got a clean hitting team leading beast of a man scaring the offense.

@ silverdeer

toegoat was wrong. He should have said one of the most immature, dirtiest, headstompinest players ever!

There were lots of “leaders” in this world. Pol Pot, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler. I’m just not sure which one Suh is modeling his career after.

He didn’t say leader … he said “lead car”!!!

What, he plans on leading Nick Fairley when they race?

By: silverdeer

silverdeer — Mon, 28 May 2012 14:36:01 +0000

@toegoat… A teaching moment for you. When you post comments like that, it only shows how young and naive you really are. Suh is probably not even close to the top 10 dirtiest players to ever play in the NFL let alone the dirtiest player to ever walk the planet. Don’t believe me? Go and watch some of the crap that they used to do, especially in the 60′s and 70′s. I am truly surprised that someone didn’t lose a finger from it “accidentally” finding its way into someones mouth.

He already is a leader. Nick Fairley drives just like him.

The Lions coaching staff is responsible for providing direction by implementing a structured environment that sets the standard for ALL players.

Schwartz & his staff still haven’t figured this out & may never. A team is in trouble when someone like Suh believes he should be a leader. Suh is one of those that needs to be led along with most of the roster.

People can be so clueless.

He took some stupid penalties and let his emotions get out of control last year. Oh well…. I’ll take that any day of the week more than a person who doesn’t even make articles because they aren’t good enough to warrant mentioning at all.

Wonder what all the haters are going to say in the next few weeks when, despite poor numbers last year due to being double teamed (sometimes doubled with a RB help as well), people that actually know what it’s like to play against this beast of a football player, vote him in the top 50 players. Can’t wait for the hate on that article.

Leadership advice for Suh
Suh needs to improve his speeding time to lead Detriot. 91mph just doesn’t cut it. Fairly was doing a 100mph. Heck AP got it up to 109.
Then there is the lack of arrests in Detroit. These lack of arrested lions reflects poorly on the values of Detroit. I know Suh and Fairly are doing their best to up the total, but they need help. We have 38 arrest in Minnesota putting Detroit to shame. He should throw a huge party on house boat in lake Michigan. Fred Smoot can give him some tips on entertainment. Just remember, Detroit values criminals and losing I’m sure Suh is the perfect leader for them.

Best way to be a leader is too be productive on field, not be a hot head and have some credibility off the field with good behavior. Him talking to Fairley would be the classic pot meet kettle. As the kids say, don’t talk about it be about it.

i think he was missquoted. he said he wants a liter of booze. you can’t have a winning program with knuckleheads as your young stars and leaders. detroit seems to be cursed with clueless people running the front office. (cincinatti as example)
