KVB was a great leader. He’s a hard working and well respected veteran, but he also consistently made big mistakes and was not a value player. The Lions need a different type and breed of leaders to be injected into this team so they can develop some new and potent chemistry that is decades long overdue.

Every year we just hear another excuse and then they stay with the same team design and make the same types of mistakes as they have in the past, but until you have a will and a focus in the right direction you’re not going to find the satisfying results to fit with the intended sentiment.

Sounds like hes going to make a run at Ed Reed.

Before Lions fans get in a tizzy I will say that Johnson, Suh and Stafford are all very, very good players; however, in addition to questionable coaching — maybe, just maybe none of the other Lions’ players are any good.

As long as Schwartz is HC, the Loins will never reach any kind of level that will lead to winning and respect. —– My guess — Schwartz is in the unemployment line at this time next year.

I love how you know who he’s “possibly referring to”

Hopefully, one could replace “willing” with “desperately trying.”

What good is a quarterback if he can’t lead the team? This whole “I lead with my play” stuff is nonsense, especially when someone like Stafford has an inconsistent year like he did last year. Stafford either needs to develop into a vocal leader or the Lions need to realize they still haven’t found The Answer.

Wes Welker could fill a couple of their needs.

The Lions lack of leadership has been evident for many years from the Ford ownership down to the players on the field. Addressing this is a step in the right direction, unfortunately it took them this long to figure that out.

I’m glad to see the front office point to the root cause of the Lions off season issues and in game collapses, even if it came about eight months too late. Either Stafford or Johnson have to take a tougher stance with the men they lead. Clearly a case of too many Injuns and not enough Chiefs.

As for Suh: he’s pure talent and zero leadership. He’ll be a solid teammate at best.

You think with all those people in the top 5 they drafted over the last decade. A few of those guys would have the personallity for it. They shouldnt need too. If they need leadership they should get a new coach.

I will believe it when I see it.
