Thread: Millen out as Lions GM

Ford Jr did good work for Detroit

This sucks!

Firing a GM will not immediately restore the Lions to respectability in the NFC North.
They still have no QB, questionable RBs and a pourous run defense.
And, based upon the hiring of Millen and his retention through the lack of success over the past 9 years (or whatever), it's not a given that Ford Sr. will hire somebody good to take Millen's place.

that really sucks.
Kinda evens things out a bit...

I was hoping they would give him anothe 8-10 years to turn it around.

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

shocker

Kitna is good

The RBs is decent

It will take time but they will be okay if they add D

3-5 years

Millen should change his name to Edsel.

Dude - you're clearly not paying attention.

Kitna is hurt.
The Lions starting QB is Dan Orlovsky.
Ewwwww.

The RBs are shite.
Hence the reason they brought in Shaun Freaking Alexander last week for a tryout.

It's also hard to overcome a culture of loserdom.
Just ask the LA Clippers.

Ya beat me to it.
Man, this is/was overdue.
The Kitties have been rebuilding since 1957.
They suck now, have sucked for a million years, and will suck for the foreseeable future.

So I've heard that Millen was decent as Lions GM. What do you guys think about going out and getting him? He added some pretty good players over the years. I say sign him up!




















To avoid any confusion, yes, I'm being facetious.
