Patriot Way Coming to the Detroit Lions Under the Direction of Norwood's Bob Quinn

[manxman2601]

Bob Quinn New GM for Lions

Our Director of pro scouting.

Good luck Bob. I wonder if that's where Josh McDaniels ends up.

 

[Danger Zone]

I'm just whining here, but I truly believe if you hire away another team's personnel for a position of great importance in your organization (Head Coach/General Manager) then you should compensate that other team accordingly.

3rd, 4th, 5th somewhere in that range.

Anyway, best of luck to Mr Quinn and respect to Bill Belichick who by all accounts stood behind and supported this promotion outside of NE.

Lets hope Caserio is the man and Quinn rode his cotails.
I wish him and the Lions all the best.
Thinking he fires the HC

 

[RobertWeathers]

I think this is why JMD is not interviewing.

He already knows where he is going.

Tampa, Tenn or Detroit.

All 3 teams have a franchise QB.

I can't believe josh wants anything to do with stafford. If he's going there, he's trading stafford similar to trading smokin jay at his last stop.

Sorry to see him go. Ever since he took over the Pro Scoting department in 2012, this team has done a great job in free agency and in season trades. Some of moves that were done under his tenure:

Traded for Talib
Signed Tommy Kelly
Acquired LeGarrette Blount via trade
Signed Brandon Browner and Darrelle Revis
Traded for Akeem Ayers
Traded for Jonathan Casillas
Signed Alan Branch in season
Signed Jabaal Sheard
Signed Dion Lewis
Traded Hooman for Akiem Hicks

Start up the Calvin Johnson to Pats rumors.

Sheard and Lewis were Lombardi.

Revis and Talib?? Does a pro scout really get credit for those moves?

I'm no lawyer but wouldn't that be like, a ****ing disaster when it comes to people in any job being able to find a new position somewhere else? If the company that wanted to hire you also had to chuck in some form of compensation to your current employer it would really make it hard to leave a job.

The nhl just went through this and scraped the idea after a year because it was so convoluted. Teams were getting comp picks for staff members who were fired but still getting paid. Just a total mess, and typical Bettman.

I guess Lombardi deserves most of the credit for Sheard and Lewis, but who knows how much Quinn had input on it too.

And Talib was no slam dunk. When the Pats got him, he was a headcase, underachiever who was constantly injured.

Jim Bob Cooter dumbed a lot down for him. He had a very good year. Hes entering his prime so who knows.

The league rightly allows upward mobility. Wish him well, there's a disease in that team somewhere.

 

[102 Pat]

Start up the Calvin Johnson to Pats rumors.

It will knock the pick down from a 4th to a 5th rounder

 

[I.M. Fletcher]

Jim Bob Cooter dumbed a lot down for him. He had a very good year. Hes entering his prime so who knows.

It's true, and given the lack of qb talent entering the league lately, holding on to him may not be the biggest mistake.

I just can't imagine a coach going from Brady's discipline to staffords texas playground style. Mcdaniels would age worse than Gollum.

For him to work in a Belichick-run org and be promoted time and time again tells me the guy did a fantastic job, busted his ass and was thought of very highly.

Unlike Philly and other politically-dysfunctional train wrecks otherwise known as NFL franchises, there is no hiding here and accomplishment, achievement and teamwork are coveted, appreciated and rewarded.

jimmy G and Amendola for Ziggy Ansah and Calvin Johnson!

I know you do this to taunt me, but in my technicolor dreams, this makes lots of sense.

 

[Love The Drake]

How about their first for our second and Jimmy G

 

[Love The Drake]

Or crazier yet Brady for 2 1sts Calvin Johnson
