He'll probably be better than he ever has been since they have a QB now that can make defenses pay for trying to stop the run. OL is better too. He's only 25.

I think this is more a statement of Best's availability the rest of the season.

Kevin Jones?

Is he directing a movie for them?
On a more serious note, Detroit seems desperate to get another RB in there. Adjust your Best rankings accordingly. I like Maurice Morris as a half year starter though.

Probably won't work but that's where we are at in the season. The Browns just had to do it.LMAO. Yes..they are bringing in a guy off the street to handle the load at RB.

They had to replace James Davis (who replaced Jerome Harrison), guess Matt Clapp didn't work out

You are definitely just a stubborn Best owner.

It's called hedging your bet. They DO NOT know what will happen with Best this year. He may or may not play again this year. And if he does play again, he may sustain another concussion. It's not far fetched. But signing Smith doesn't definitively state the Best is done. And Smith isn't really a guy off the street. He played for them as recent as last year and he knows the offense. If Best doesn't play much the rest of the year he will probably serve as a backup to Morris and Williams.
Kevin Smith was not great.
He was good and (IMO) should be amidst a nice career as either an eh starter or a solid backup that can come in whenever needed including carry it for a game or three.
He got banged up pretty good in his brief career-a bad O-line will do that to ya.
This team is night and day different from the team he played for-even the very same guys seem to understand things the proper way now. Schwartz has been awesome.
I don't like Best, never have. We went round and round last year and into last summer. He looks awesome at getting a yard, that's all. In 2011, he did develop some and started to blossom. Smith(and tons of other backs) would easily be more productive than the runner Best was in 2010. None of this really matters though. Best was getting it done for a game or two. He was better-just like the other Lions. I figure Schwartz wants to see if Smith can be better, just like the other Lions, too.
There's nothing crazier than telling me a few years ago the Lions would be a top team. There's plenty of Lions playing wayyyy better than any of us thought. Let's see if Schwartz can wave his magic wand over Smith now.

He's always drove me nuts with this lazy side he shows from time to time. Boy can he be dominant but geesh that lazy time is just brutal to watch.
Jones was fine. He didn't get a ton of carries. Everyone seems to have this memory of Jones getting like 350-400 carries and only getting 700 yards. He probably got half that many carries. He was a good rook then they were always behind and didn't exactly put him in a spot to succeed, but there he was suddenly a very good receiving back for PPR.
I didn't understand why the watched him walk. That guy was definitely trying to make the best of a bad situation and I liked that. Even if not a star, why not keep a guy like that around?
IIRC he was "done" because Forte ran so well, there was no need for him.
Maybe Smith was equally good and they thought they only needed one RB.
