It's been mostly mediocre football before Millen, but we've now seen for 6 years new depths of buffoonery which is increasingly feeding on itself. Despite 24 wins in 96 games, the Lions still believe they're on the right track? The irony is that had Millen done his due diligence 6 years ago, actually interviewed more than 1 coaching Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-1168310453002011942007-01-08T21:40:00.000-05:002007-01-08T21:40:00.000-05:00Sportznut,I was looking at the Lions roster today ...Sportznut,<BR/>I was looking at the Lions roster today and I couldn't see area that isn't a weaknesses, let alone a strength.

Sure, in the last 6 we've been treated to a franchise as inept as the Bungles in the 90's.<BR/><BR/>I agree about the team needing a complete overhaul. There is no doubt some guys will keep their starting roles based on how much they are making, or the ramifications of the cap.<BR/><BR/>How many current Lions Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-1168287228827342542007-01-08T15:13:00.000-05:002007-01-08T15:13:00.000-05:00Thinkingman,I saw Thomas play against Arkansas in ...Thinkingman,<BR/>I saw Thomas play against Arkansas in the bowl game. A lot of people did. Most I have talked to were impressed with him. I didn't think he seemed worthy of taking second overall. What if Oakland doesn't take a QB? Do the Lions?
