tl; dr

1. Detroit Lions: 98.8 percent optimism ​

Optimist Dave: I’ve been a Lions fan for decades. This is by far the best team ever, better even than we dared wish for … the biggest problem now is to stay grounded.

Optimist Dan: Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have built a roster that’s ready to tussle in the long haul.

Optimist Jon: Seismic shift in approach. Culture. Foundation. Twenty of 23 picks since the 2021 draft are on the roster. This isn’t fleeting, this is transformation. Whether we win the Super Bowl or not, we have a team in the conversation every year moving forward.

Pessimist Kyle: This team is going to regress. I feel like I’m the only person in town that feels this way, though, so I stay quiet.
