Nicecatch summed up the argument nicely. Family members are not always the same but in this case the Ford's track record has been consistently poor.
Sure, maybe, this new lady will work wonders, but I doubt that you'd put any money on it Zn. You can argue academics all you want but I doubt you really believe it. Personally, I'd like to see the Lions do good as it would bring a lot of joy to my area. But most of the Lions fans I know just laugh about hoping for a better outcome.
I doubt anybody with any football sense would envision that a green new owner and a green new GM and a new coach and a new QB are going to turn around the Lions. I could see them going 0-16 or 4-12 this year.
I think what zn is suggesting is that we give this new regime a chance. That seems reasonable and fair to me.
I’m kinda impressed with the way this new owner handled Stafford’s trade request and with the hire of Holmes.
I have faith that Holmes will turnaround that Lion FO and scouting dept. Won’t be instantaneous, but it will be both rapid and steady.
We haven’t seen any foolish offseason moves by the Lions so far, have we?
The new HC? Who knows? But I’m willing to give him a chance, at least.
As zn pointed out, Ram fans have seen amazing turnarounds before when bad ownership, GM’s, and HC’s have been replaced by good ones. Why couldn’t the Lions do the same thing?
