Rudock, not even close. He's already getting the "will another team trade for him" buzz.So who is the QB to stash for long term dynasty value- Rudock or Kaaya?
It is a pretty deep league for sure. 46 roster spot IDP league with 14 teams. Draft and proactive pick ups are crucial to winning because you most often can't wait for someone to get hurt or start to do well to run to the waiver wire. I have Stafford in the league and drafted Kaaya as insurance and long term hopeful prospect but I did see the buzz over Rudock. I haven't been watching the Lions very closely but because of that buzz and not hearing anything about Kaaya I was thinking of dropping him and picking up Rudock.Rudock, not even close. He's already getting the "will another team trade for him" buzz.
Also your league has to be pretty massive if Rudock is a guy you are looking into. Props.
No one...stafford is the qb until he retiresSo who is the QB to stash for long term dynasty value- Rudock or Kaaya?
For sure, but Rudock could end up getting a chance to start somewhere else in the future as there is some buzz building around him.No one...stafford is the qb until he retires
A couple of points here. First, I have Stafford- so having his backup is not costly insurance for me in a league where you can't pick up a starter if one goes down. Two, Rudock, as rumors suggest, is being sought after in trades. If that happened, his door to playing time comes much quicker. Three, as I noted above. This is a deep league. You draft guys like Kaaya in the later rounds of the 5 round draft to prepare for the future. Most teams in this league only have two starters (as do I) if one goes down and you don't have his back up then you are on very thin ice. So, yes, I know Stafford is entrenched as the starter for the foreseeable future but I want to get the knowledge of those who follow the Lions more closely in rather I should do what I am thinking of doing and dropping Kaaya for Rudock.No one...stafford is the qb until he retires

There were rumors of us in talks with the Jets about Sheldon RichardsonLet's pretend like Tomlinson never existed
It seems like Rudock has some near future potential to start somewhere in a couple of years (if not sooner through trade or injury) so I will make the exchange there.Rudock is the backup, so that's who you're after.
I'll give our second round pick for any established anything. Outside of Darius slay, our record the last decade at picking in the 2nd rd is terrible. We'll see how teez looks as the season progresses. Would love some dline help or a rashean Mathis type vet to play across from slay or in the slot. Lawson isn't bad, but there could be a guy that becomes available. Hard to trust young guys imo.There were rumors of us in talks with the Jets about Sheldon Richardson
The Vikings might let someone go worth picking up.With cuts coming around the league, here's to hoping we get some defensive line help.
Solid recap.After about the worst 1st quarter I've seen the lions play (that's saying a lot) it was nice to see the team, defense in particular, keep fighting and get the win. I was impressed with the defense, they forced some tos and kept it close after our (likely former?) punter tried the ol'...crap I can't remember the punters name during the sanders era, I just remember him pulling down a perfect snap and running for a 1st because he "saw a lane". We ran for positive yardage most carries, although nothing getting to the 2nd level. Nice to see them pull washington after 2 personal fouls and that stupid return. Kenny g commanding rz targets already. Nothing from the tes, but I suspect they were blocking a lot to help out the oline. Speaking of, pass protection was pretty solid, Robinson might work until we get decker back. First half of the season is a pretty rough schedule, it's great to get the win.
I'm upping my 7 win prediction to 13-3Some will now say that the Lions beat a crappy team. Of course many of those same people were saying that the road favorite Cards were going to run all over Detroit.
LMFAO
Well it is "Over-reaction Monday"I'm upping my 7 win prediction to 13-3
As long as 11-5 is enough to win the division I might be ok with that.In true Lions fashion, they'll start 11-0 and tank after they lock up a berth on Thanksgiving
Well that and a first round bye.As long as 11-5 is enough to win the division I might be ok with that.
We're gonna sweep the division (6-0), loss December road games to BAL TB CIN, then blow out the Pack on NYE to wrap up the #1 seedAs long as 11-5 is enough to win the division I might be ok with that.
Yes, a bye is like a win but without a game to suffer through.Well that and a first round bye.

Totally. As people said last season, he's not a great in game coach but seems to be a good leader of men, a good facilitator for the correct coaching environment and the type of guy that gets nothing but respect off of the players.And despite Caldwell's reputation for being dumb, he has assembled a great coaching staff and has done a great job.
Second impressive game from the DBs. Hayden got beat on the Boldin drop
