Bears give Ryan Pace contract extension through 2021

Bears did the same thing. Guess that’s something new they doing these days :yeshrug:

Technically, it makes all the sense in the world. Thst being said, i would expect us to be further along whatever timeline Quinn wants to be on. Patricia is new, Quinn is not and Patricia, i assume shares the same vision as Quinn. I'm demanding more synergy between coach and front office. This time frame is possibly, potentially, the best five year window the lions will ever have. Stafford is as good or better than 3 of the 4 quarterbacks in the conference championship game. We need better line play on both sides and a run game.

Lol, Caldwell was just the hired help till the real coach came. I wish I could get two years of free money

I said this a long time ago, he kept Caldwell until the cap space cleared up........ Drafted all positions that take 2 years to develop last year and now his boy comes in with cap space and an offense that's pretty much set.

Quinn just playing chess out here and bought himself some more years by tying his contract to his coaches.

Either we win or they're both broomed out. What you said makes complete sense though.

This would be complete bullshyt. Why the fukk would we get rid of a 24 year old Abdullah to pay a premium for a 27 year old Lewis that has an ACL history, same size as Ameer and is half as explosive. If we arent going all the way up to spend for Bell, dont pay for a vet RB, draft them and exploit their rookie deal like good teams do. Caldwell has a long history of trash run games and Cooter like whamming Abdullah right into the middle of the line on predictable run downs. Everything that made him a 2nd round pick is still there for a good coaching staff to utilize. Spend the money on the fukking pass rush

We need to throw our money at that lineman from Carolina :whoo:

Tired of seeing Stafford sacked 7 times a game :camby:

Meh, I can live without both. Neither Caldwell or Cooter is responsible for Ameers fumbles.

Lewis would be an upgrade at the position but I’d rather do as you suggest and bring in a fresh back.

Our savior Bob Quinn said that players need to start showing progress in their 2nd year. Does this mean that if we see more from Jarrad Davis that we saw this past season that he would be out of Detroit?:ohhh:

Jeff Davidson, offensive line coach. I looked at all seasons he held the position and he’s had a few terrible seasons browns and chargers.

His stints with Carolina and Minnesota were very successful. He had Peterson for a period in Minnesota but he also made it work without him. Carolina he had Williams and foster, I wouldn’t consider either legendary.


In 2014, without Peterson they were 14th in attempts, 11th ypc, 11th td’s. Last years qb-less broncos finished middle of the pack in ypc. I can live with that.

I think we may have a good one.

Very excited. A proper o-line scheme and coach could make this team elite offensively. We already know Stafford plays lights out through play action, now imagine if we have an actual run threat...
:wow:


I agree the DC hire is wack but ultimately this will be Patricia's defense. I think Patricia just bringing in a mentor with HC experience to help him, and then next year he'll bring in a younger/better DC.
