Not saying I necessarily disagree, but the flip side of that coin says that’s the ideal time to maximize value in a trade.

I think Stafford is an elite QB who has been saddled with a tough environment; it’s been the Lions’ lack of defense and run game that has handcuffed them.

I want the “problem” of having to pay a top QB.

I'd take Stafford-level play. Can't put the Lions W-L record solely on his shoulders. If we had Stafford with the rest of our offense and this defense, then we would be squarely in the Super Bowl conversation.

This is almost what I came here to say. I would just replace “I would much rather” with “I think it’s more likely we”. Id actually rather see Allen’s 1st 300 yard passing game. It’s more symbolic for the development of our offense.

+1 - this is what I came here to say

TJ Yeldon played in 2 playoff games in 2018. John Brown played in 2 playoff games in 2016 and 1 playoff game in 2019. Cole Beasley played in 1 playoff game in 2017 and 2 playoff games in 2019. Andre Roberts played in 2 playoff games in 2018. Mitch Morse played in 1 playoff game in 2017 and 2 playoff games in 2019. Quinton Spain played in 2 playoff games in 2018. Jon Feliciano played in 1 playoff game in 2017. Tyler Kroft, Ty Nsekhe, and Spencer Long each played in 1 playoff game in 2016. Edit: to say, I do agree with the rest of your post and am excited for that combined with their playoff experience!

Major Conundrum *salutes*

No clue if he's good or not, but there is a DT on the Pats* practice squad...

I agree, but I think the point was that we would be better off with McCoy over Yeldon, which I have to agree with, but who knows what Beane & McCoy discusses about his possible role this season. Seems to me he could have helped us.

Knox trucking those two Bengals: Seriously though, can we have a GIF of him doing that as a permanent banner somewhere?

Pitchforks are bogo at Valu so let’s get this party started.

It was definitely a look of a QB whose 3 out of 4 turnovers were off a WR's hand (yes, I agree, poor throw regardless), a bad snap exchange, and a tip from the line.

The guy that was further from his QB than the guy he actually hit? Or do you mean in addition? In that case, I fully support double-pancakes.

Beasley is a waterbug

Could you imagine picking up Shady and AB right before the season starts with an already ridiculous offense?

Motor Singletary has a nose for the endzone.

Went with Allen, but should be close between him & Gore.

I am not against the move, but I think the surprising part is that we are not hurting for cap space and that would seem to be the best reason to make the move. Unless someone thinks Yeldon is better than McCoy?

As an Irish fan, I can say he was pretty beastly in college. Was shocked he went undrafted.

What does he think this is, JG Wentworth?

If he’s as good or better than our current punters, then bring him in and learn about NE’s special teams
