Duckett Signs with Detroit (1 Viewer)

Rovers

Footballguy
Now Duckett? Do they trade Bell, or is KJ really in bad shape?

Dodn't see anything, hope it's not a Honda.

 
Sorry... I musta missed this one! Why the heck is WFAN in NY making it out to be like it just happened? Delete thread please.... ;)

 
just want the Loins need. another RB that was in one of the best running systems in the NFL but could not make it.

If I was a Loins fan I would pray everyday KJ is healthy because Bell and/or TJ will not cut it

exactly. :goodposting: How is Duckett a Martz-type of RB? Duckett will be gone in a year. I do not see Tatum as a Martz-type either. I hope the Tatem trade and Duckett signing are in response to Calhoun, not KJ or the Lions will be picking high again next year and Kitna will be creamed by the second game. Big Dan and McCown willl be running for their lives.

Was this a freudian slip? :2cents:
 
So is this the total very final end of Calhoun's chance?

Sorry if Honda but way too :goodposting: :scared: :banned: :banned: :banned: :banned: :banned: :banned: :banned: :banned: to manage looking through previous Lions/Ducket/KJ threads since it's 4am Sunday morn after St Pats day here in Aus.

Why would Duckett have to be a Martz-type RB to be the short yardage guy? His contract is 1 year, 1.5 million. That's the contract of a role player.I know Duckett was a first-round pick once upon a time, but that doesn't mean we have to keep imagining him in a featured role. He's been a part-timer, he has a part-timer's contract on a team that needs a part-timer with his skills. This isn't a complicated or important signing.

I agree completely with you if the assumption is that he is a goal line/short yardage RB. But, many on this board seem to think that the Duckett signing is bad news for KJ's injury and that, even when KJ is healthy, Duckett will challenge for carries outside of short yardage. My point was that if this is true, it is not a great thing for Kitna. But, also Duckett, iirc, will make more this season than the next two years of Tatum's contract. So, does that make Tatum's contract a part timer's one, too?
