scs787 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Wow. Obviously a big loss for them, and a win for the Bears. Terrible WR draft class this year as well. Free agent market is meh as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yeah, those are some big shoes to fill. They might as well go into full rebuild mode. They lost Suh last offseason and now Megatron this offseason. Seems like they are going in the wrong direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 You can pretty much book the Lions into Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Retiring while still at the top of the league. Seems like a theme among Lions great players since Barry Sanders did the same years ago. Johnson was Stafford's security blanket (he'd be that for any QB with common sense) and without that big target to bail him out I think we see his production drop quite a bit and an increase in INTs. Although it's good for us from a division standpoint, this is a loss for all football fans. Johnson has been a class act and produced a lot of "wow" moments in his career.

Regarding the bolded part, I still say Barry retired because he felt disrespected by the league. The year he went over 2K in yards he had to share the MVP with Brett Freaking Farv, a guy who didn't even go over 4K that year in passing yards. One year after being disrespected, Barry retires. Another reason to hate farv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason to hate farv. Are you sure? My impression is that he retired because he felt the Lions did not honor their promise to get more talent and he hated playing for Bobby Ross.

But I was flabbergasted he had to share the MVP, and it had to feel disrespectful to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
