Come on Jahvid, pack it in. Your young and healthy yet. Live a good life. Sure you wanted to play football in the NFL. But who doesn’t. With your concussion problems why not think about down the line. Look at all of these problems that former players are having. Not to mention some even committing suicide. Get out now. Live a good life. Have a good career in your field or what you received your degree in. It just was not meant to be. Accept it. You don’t know what the next jarring hit could do. Be smart, play smart. Just call it a day.

with Detroit’s salary cap issues in mind, they should find out what it would cost to sign up chris ivory to take Best’s spot. very similar type of player who spent most off last season on N.O. practice squad. just a thought.

Want to know why Buffalo sucks? The rb coach who worked with spiller thinks best is anything like him. Dillusional. Best isnt anything like Marshawn and spiller is a step above lynch.

C.J. Spiller is just a slightly better football player that might be a problem with this comparison aside from his health

Who cares what he could do *if* he could play. He SHOULDNT be playing. And I don’t think you need a PHD to determine that, in his case. For his own good.

That guy should definitely never play football again. There are concussions, and there are concussions…..he’s had a few of the worst of them.

Didnt the Lions announce he was done for good back in december?

Talking about what the Lions could do if Jahvid Best were physically healthy is just as pointless as talking about what they could do if Titus Young were mentally healthy.

It’s time to move along. Neither will play for the Lions ever again.

With all the lawsuits the NFL is facing…NO WAY they ever let him play again.

The Lions need to assume Jahvid Best will never come back. If he does come back, that’s a pleasant surprise, but they shouldn’t rely on him. They need to look at options other than Jahvid Best.

I realize Modkins is new to the job, but a coach starting out a quote with “I don’t know what Jahvid’s situation is” sounds pretty bad. If he’s that enamored with Best, maybe he should find out what is going on with him. Surely the team is getting regular updates of some kind, aren’t they?

I want to believe this, I really do.

Unfortunately I just can’t see it happening. That concussion he suffered in college just makes it too easy for him to consistently be injured.

One more concussion and he may never be mentally the same person again; let alone the same football player.

At least I’ve had Jahvid all season in Madden 13. He’s fast!

With the severity and duration of his symptoms, it might be unwise for him to ever pick up a football again, even if he could get medical clearance. What if the next hard hit disables him for life?

I don’t care how many millions he’s offered, it’s just not worth the risk.

I hope he does not play again. As a Packer fan, its not because he is a Lion. I just do not want to see a story 10 years from now about how his brains are scrambled.

Any chance we could get less coverage of our team? Just let the Lions be. Stop asking anyone associated with the team anything. Stop trolling Michigan”newspapers” for anything about the Lions. Please?

Appreciate it.

Kind of like Minnesota Twins third baseman Korey Koske. He had a concussion and was never quite able to pick it up again.

They just need to sign Bradshaw instead of waiting for Best.

As a Bills fan, I’m happy that CJ Spiller will finally be able to play a CJ Spiller role.

Very good player…when healthy. As a Bears fan, he and Leshoure scare me together. Now if only that defense could tackle somebody…
