Bittersweet day. Loved GQ.....but his play had dropped off a cliff the last 2 years.

Good luck to him!

When I first saw it, I thought "Man, this doesn't even look like the Lions anymore. They are cutting everyone".

My second thought was "Well, they were brought in to make sure this team isn't the same old Lions, so I guess it probably shouldn't look like the Lions anymore".

I liked Quinn a lot, but Waker showed a lot, and it's time to get used to seeing some serious changes, even among team leaders, if we don't want this team to look like a 7-9 club anymore.

Former Lions & Texans Safety Glover Quin stopped by the studio for the latest Surf & Turf and we asked him to rank his former teammate in Detroit, Quarterback Matthew Stafford against the rest of the league. He gave a pretty insightful answer that makes sense on a few different levels. Check out the video above for his breakdown of where he stacks up vs. the rest of the league?s signal callers.

You can also listen to the full interview where we discuss the culture with the Detroit Lions, comparing Andre Johnson to Calvin Johnson, what that Andre Johnson vs. Cortland Finnegan fight was like, being on the field for the Aaron Rodgers hail mary and what went wrong & so much more?
