lostfan Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I feel like Bears fans have had this exact same discussion about QBs at least 2 or 3 times. I'm so over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Please bear in mind that the Lions are an awful team. Equally as bad as the Bears currently are, or worse. This is vintage Detroit, as we've always known them, before they got Megatron, Stafford, and a defensive line, and started flirting with the idea of going to the playoffs.

I understand this, I'm just taking small satisfaction in some of the younger players having good games, and the defense playing well. The Lions may be a shell of themselves but they have had two games this season where they put up 35+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 06:08 AM) You must not have ever watched Hoyer after like week 9. He's a much different QB in the 2nd half of seasons for whatever reason. Do you remember how awful he was in the playoffs for Houston? Brian Hoyer is a solid backup QB that played pretty well yesterday I actually didn't think he played that great. Look, Jay is what he is, a mediocre starting QB and Hoyer is a more pedestrian QB (a great back-up and a subpar starter), who does have a winning overall record, despite playing for some very mediocre teams (albeit last year, Texans defense certainly helped him). I just don't care much anymore. By the way, in my posts, I never said Hoyer was better, I just said he does certain things better then Jay. Bottom line, neither are the future of this franchise and unfortunately we didn't draft a QB early (I think we'd be in much better shape had we took Paxton Lynch instead of Floyd, but I think I was about the only pro take a QB in the 1st round guy on this entire site). I said we had to start the rebuild and you had to find a QB and Lynch had a lot of tools (and while it is just one game, he didn't look too bad yesterday for Denver). That said, thus far this season, if you asked me who has played better, I'd say Hoyer, but neither have been very good. We aren't getting much points and we are shooting ourselves in the foot a ton.

The Lions may be a shell of themselves but they have had two games this season where they put up 35+. Their offense was ranked like 4th in the league, so the defensive performance is something to give credit for. That said, Stafford played really lousy. Our pass rush was still pretty weak (albeit we did actually get some sacks, but still a ton of plays where he had ample time). Oline made major steps forward (despite more dumb penalties out of them). Howard looks like a legit player. Not good that White is hurt again. Getting an MRI today.

I understand emotion but he's been having stupid penalties and is whining about everything even when he commits the foul. He needs to relax.

And Beckham Jr. once again being a baby out there. It really seems like the "Must have an elite QB" era is kind of disappearing all of a sudden. Sure, it helps, but look at what the Broncos are doing and now the Vikings. Russel Wilson was great for the Seahawks, but the defense carried that team. Not sure what has changed, it still seems like some of the rules and penalties really favor offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really believe in the term injury prone. He overtrained and needed shin surgery. He got hit in the ankle while playing a violent, dangerous game and most likely has a high ankle sprain. We'll see him in the 2nd half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The probably rank about mediocre. 6 to 7 wins sounds about right, but they have had awful injury luck, which could pull that number back down.

One more major injury and I would agree, but I think he still gets a bit of the benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
