Draft thoughts? Another top 5 pick for the Lions. I guess I shouldn't be too worried - we tend to get these right recently (Stafford, Megatron, Suh), although we've certainly fucked it up in the past (see: Charles Rogers, Roy Williams, Mike Williams...three WRs selected in the top 10 for three consecutive fucking years. Matt Millen, ladies and gentlemen).

I'm hoping Eric Fisher is available at 5, but I doubt it.

This draft seems kinda blah to me and there's really not a player out there that's standing out from the crowd. Usually I'm pretty stoked around draft time but everything about it feels underwhelming this year, but then that could just be because the Seahawks don't really seem to have any needs and I'm just not paying enough attention.

And god damn those Jags uniforms. That helmet......

:why

I wanted Fisher

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1086 on:** April 25, 2013, 08:55:54 PM »

I'm done. That's it, I'm done. Fuck my life

naturally we draft the one guy who's only been playing football for three years, and had 7 career tackles before least season.

etiolate · « **Reply #1087 on:** April 25, 2013, 09:00:01 PM »

Don't worry PD. The Lions have plenty of maturity and leadership to mold Ansah into a fulltime football player.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1088 on:** April 25, 2013, 09:04:45 PM »

We could have gotten a DE in the second round with similar stats/performance as Ziggy...I just don't get this at all.

At least we didn't take Milliner I guess. Too injury prone, I wouldn't take the chance even though we obviously need help in the secondary.

Tebow is

Also:

@AdamSchefter
Jets had granted Tim Tebow permission this off-season to seek a trade. More than one team asked if were willing to play TE, but he was not.

Then I guess his next position will be sitting on the couch staring sadly at his Heisman.

How about this: Geno Smith thought he would be & should be the No. 1 overall pick, I'm told. That's why he fired his agents.

Olympic discus finalist Lawrence Okoye has never played football, but after signing with the San Francisco 49ers, he said he thinks that through hard work he can make an impact in the NFL.

...

"An Adonis, a great physical specimen of a man. ... Our creator created a beautiful man," Harbaugh said of Okoye on Saturday, according to the Sacramento Bee.

I was close, Bill Belichick. I was thissss close to spending an entire NFL season free of Tebowmania, or Tebow Time, or whatever fucking brand stamp ESPN decides to put on all its coverage of the Jesusback. I was really looking forward to it, too. I was gonna watch every game safe in the knowledge that Tim Tebow and the atmospheric layers of heavenly bullshit surrounding him would be off somewhere in Canada or Australia. I was gonna watch the NFL knowing that, somewhere in Munich, Tim Tebow of the Bayern Blitzkrieg was throwing behind Dieter and Eckhart on their crossing patterns. I was gonna be happy.

BUT YOU HAD TO GO AND FUCK IT ALL UP.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1109 on:** June 11, 2013, 03:33:03 PM »

can't fucking wait for Brady to have a bad game sometime in December, leading to Skip to begin the "start Tebow" brigade.

"Tom Brady was underrated not long ago , Stephen A. When I look at Tebow I see the exact same potential."

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #1111 on:** June 11, 2013, 04:22:04 PM »

Am I the only one pulling for Tebow? I think he has been treated so shitty by teams and the media that he has become the ultimate underdog.

I mean, I realize the deficiencies he has, but this is a league where even some of the worst QB's get multiple shots over a long period of time.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #1112 on:** June 11, 2013, 04:23:56 PM »

I don't have anything against Tebow. It's all the media attention that dives me nuts.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1113 on:** June 11, 2013, 04:29:14 PM »

I don't hate Tebow. In fact I admire what he has done for homeschool athletes, who are now allowed to participate in public/private school tournaments thanks to him; I wasn't allowed to play or even travel with my (private school) team in junior/highschool tournaments, and it crushed me.

But he's not an NFL QB, and I think it's unfair that he has been given so many chances despite being a third round talent at best. There are a lot of guys who would kill to be taken in the first round or signed to a backup position based on talent alone, not media hype.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #1114 on:** June 11, 2013, 05:05:42 PM »

No, he's a piece of shit as a football player. He's dyslexic and incapable of reading defenses; he practices shitty and then expects to go in and just let Jesus sort it out.

If you think about it, he's the worst sort of realistic role model for ANYONE other than the homeskool valedictorians like PD, I guess. His story screams, "If you're polite, love Jesus and coast on your natural ability, you get multiple chances to succeed. Those of you out there who have actually worked hard and put in the time in practice trying to improve, fuck you. You should love Jesus more." It fucking infuriates me to death.
