Yes... but this is the Lions we're talking about...
I was going to mention Jordan...
This was mentioned as a possibility on Detroit sports talk today. And they were serious.
I can see him come in under a 1 year deal and average 3.3 - 3.7 a carry... all season long.This was mentioned as a possibility on Detroit sports talk today. And they were serious.
I don't think it's a bad option for a year. You can pick up a RB in the draft pretty easy. Let's face it, the Lions aren't winning squat this year. So signing a RB with a proven name for 1 year won't hurt anymore than the 10 losses they're going to get anyway.This was mentioned as a possibility on Detroit sports talk today.

Kitna: "We aren't? 10 wins, 50 passing TD's."
Kitna and S. Alexander could retire together.
This is spot on. Although I'm a Lions sympathizer due to family, friends, and the city this franchise is riddled with holes and has been for my entire life. The ironic thing to me is that they drafted four WRs with top ten picks and then were trying to move Roy Williams this week. That's like having four girlfriends and getting them all pregnant at the same time and thinking it was a good idea until you figure out you have to pay child support for all four and you probably won't be getting much sex from at least three of them from this point forward. Let's call it the Millen/Portis theorem to successful family building.
I don't know abou this post DD.....you enjoyed time at Tiger Stadium tonight too much!
If there is a God in heaven, the same one who allowed/caused KJ, Ronnie Brown and so many of my stars to get hurt, please, please let M. Bush go to Detroit and start.
Could you define "go for?" TIA
They are going to sign UFA Mike Anderson and start him on day one as a ploy to motivate him and as an attempt to make it 2005 again.
All I know is the Lions are a microcosm for the City of Detroit, Ford Motor Company and probably the entire Michigan economy as well. So many problems for so long and so little to build hope around. Poor leadership, poor execution, and basically just plain poor. They are the perfect franchise to represent this area. If I was running the Lions, I would focus on building a rockstar defense ala the 2000 Ravens. The Lions have never had a great QB and probably never will. Turn the offense into a run oriented, smashmouth team and build a heavy hitting D that strikes fear into the heart of opposing teams. In the NFC North, this is a team that would make the playoffs most years. But Millen has failed to give this team any identity and continually proves to be a poor evaluator of talent. He's way below 50% for first round picks and almost 0% in every other round. There is not one other NFL team that would even entertain the idea of hiring Millen, unless it was for a concession stand manager. At least Isaiah Thomas had jobs with muliple teams, as bad as he was. Millen is by far the worst GM in any sport on the planet.
