To questforsixthdumbass2013
If you were a detroiter you’d know megatron works with all his recievers! But unfortunately you can’t teach class! Maybe the lions hope he’ll turn into a decent player 3-4 yrs down the road like Crabtree in SF, although Crabtree will let the success go to his head and be ignorant as ever next season lol. In all likelyhood the lions will keep him through the preseason, throw alot of balls his way, hope he catches a bunch, and then trade him to a sucker for something of value, and be done with this headache! Afterall they have to make room for the wrs they’re gonna draft lol. God forbid the ever draft for need!

Yet another player who appreciates his second chance.

Apparently, the lions follow what thier fans say cause thats just moronic to thumbs down the idea that your number one should help the team by helping his fellow recievers, why does “megatron” get the monacle of being the best in the league, if all he can do is catch a ball and run a route.
Teach your fellow players to be men and respectfiul of their coaches! Thats being a valuable player, detroit haha what? What??

Please remember that the Lions cannot cut Titus Young until the start of the next league year. So as long as you can’t cut him, you may as well pretend like he has some value with the hope you can get something in return. What a shame. You can blame the Lions for taking a risk on a guy with character issues, but I don’t think anyone could have foresaw this complete mental breakdown.

He’s a perfect fit for the Lions

The most surprising thing about the response is that Schwartz is still talking about Young as if there’s a future in Detroit lends credence to the idea that Young might actually have a future with the Lions.

The kid has talent. I think it’s more like Schwartz is hoping they’ll be able to dump Young for a 7th rounder. The comments here show me there are those that would like to see their team pick up Young for nothing and rehabilitate him into a good receiver.

If they had a Super Bowl trophy, Titus would have tied it to the back of his car and done donuts in the parking lot a la George Costanza in his latest attempt to get fired.

I guess this was the next best thing…..

Some teams will just never get better. Lions are so disorganized, they could use this guy and teach him instead they treat this othere guy named calvin to throw the ball to as an excuse, “we need to get megatron 190 catches a season cause he is the best WR ever, an all pro and MVP caliber”. If he so great, why dont he teach this young guy how to do a better job at being a team player.. thankfully i wont be subject to lions games every sunday, too many headscratchers on that team!!!

He will be cut AFTER free agency. There is a plan. This dude is a cancer.

If the Lions had any nads they’d call his bluff. Tell Titty he’s going to be getting the ball less and blocking more.

If he quits they don’t have to pay him and still own his rights.

Titus Young is a tremendous talent and a monumental idiot. As much as I dislike Schwartz as a coach, it’s obvious he’s biting his tongue. It is not his job to fire players. If I was the GM, after making such a grievous pick, I would be hoping to find one sucker that thinks they can rehabilitate the guy—maybe they think he’s worthy of a 7th round pick.

Let’s see how this plays out between now and July.

Ironically the Lions could have drafted Randall Cobb instead of Titus Young.

As always, the Packers getting the better second round receiver

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

And the Ravens got the best of the bunch in Torrey Smith.

Business as usual… Until someone has the brass in this organization to do anything, discipline will always remain an issue.

The fact that he even remains on this team shows they aren’t serious about winning. What else does he have to do to get cut?

I don’t think it’s surprising that he’s still on the roster. Cutting him right away when he was benched (or right now) doesn’t really accomplish anything. If he’s still on the roster after the draft, it will be surprising.

Schwartz + Young = absolutely perfect together.

I feel terribly for Lions fans.
