Id stay in school if there was a chance i would be drafted by the Lions
Yeah me too.
I think they are starting to realize now that chemistry is more important for a team to succeed.
I get the feeling that Quinn is tough (borderline arrogant...a good thing for a QB) and he wouldn't put up with Owen's crap.
I also wouldn't mind seeing DA throwing downfield to Edwards, Owens, and Stallworth. That sure would open up underneath routes for K2.
True.

Yeah, that combo of wideouts would definitely be lethal!
+1! it's a shame this guy cares more about drawing attention to himself then winning a superbowl. I know the following statement might be strong for some but he could've been the next jerry rice. he had the talent but never had the right attitude. I say had because we all know his skills will only diminish from here on out.
I am sure if they were winning, this would be a none issue. But a scapegoat is always needed for losing.
I agree here too....but no one has EVER nipped it in the bud. NFLs version of of that is to just release him....knowing full well anyone can sign him and it could comeback and bite them on the ass.
#1- in case you weren't paying attention the last few seasons, the Detroit Lion's HAVE NO DEFENSE! Yes we need a QB, but tell me how many players on the defensive side of the ball you would keep. Check the numbers - worst defense in the league. Now look who's still playing this year. See a common thread between 3 of the 4 teams? Trust me, there will be a better batch of QB's next season to pick from. we will still be drafting very high next season.
#2 - I have already burned everything with a Lion's logo. Exorcism won't work either. The Lion's disease is harder to remove than AIDS.
#3 - Not any worse of a parent than I am. Try to remind your son that he does have mind of his own and free will.

In my feeble opinion, your better off in building a decent line before you draft and inevitably ruin another QB. The Browns have ruined a many QB's by doing this. Add to your O-Line and then draft your franchise QB. Doing the reverse will get you no where.
Yeah, but it seems he is the scapegoat everywhere he goes which must tell you something about him.
You're preaching to the choir. Defense a bigger need right now. But they do have 3 picks in the first 33. DE, OT and middle LB, would be my picks, not necessarily in that order. Defense would be picked with the remainder of the picks, the best player regardless of defensive position. Really doesn't matter, Ford ain't listening to me.
