He's a long term RB coach so I expect us to run more.

Well heck after that press conference by Campbell I’m not holding my breath that this will be any different then the last regime.

Why?

#1 Run game in buffalo before he got the chargers job.

How many times have you wanted a certain guy at the Gm spot or HC job that were being interviewed and yet they all sucked. No worries, we've all had that. I wanted Gym Shorts. How could this be any worse. Just enjoy the ride as Grandy once said. I'm going in with an open mind.

 

[biggunsbob]

Why?

Campbell came across as a intense idiot to me. Come on Mitch the guy was not a word smith out there. Kicking them in the teeth. Give me a break. I get that he was excited in becoming a head coach but there are ways to conduct yourself in front of camera's, and what he did was a complete failure. I guess there is nowhere to go but up !

At least they finally hired someone with some experience. This team is going to be trash for the next couple of seasons. I guess let these new guys learn on the job and hopefully in year 3 they will have finally built a contender instead of just putting a band-aid on it every year.

It's a good plan. Wait 'til AR is out of GB...no reason to try to win the division with him there...especially with Matt as the QB.

Not true, when was the last time this team had a full rebuild? Matt Millen. He was given a ton of time and fans finally turned on the team. I gave up on Quintricia after 2 years but Quinn was here longer and hired his buddy that turned a winning team into dogshit.

They shouldn?t look awful after two years. This is the nfl. It doesn?t take long to rebuild.

Lions have been re-building for over 6 decades

Yes they should. Without a qb they will

No they shouldn?t at all. Draft correctly, sign players to fit, improve the young talent.

First year - terrible
2nd year - huge improvement(compete for playoffs)
3rd year - playoff team and should be contending for division title

Do we win any playoff games in your scenario? I'll take those over a division title.

why are you rooting for a Lions' playoff win? You should be like LKP, rooting for Matt to have success wherever he goes, not the Lions. :lmao:

He's not the only one. I visited Reddit (yes, it's toxic) and they had a poll and it was pretty even weather rooting for Lions or Stafford.

It would be nice! I was mainly trying to point out I don?t think it should take over 2+ years to put a winning football team on the field.
