I was not sufficiently precise – he could be a winner, but still not a culture fit.
If there’s a weakness in Brad’s process, it’s correctly identifying the culture fit of a free agent. How is the guy wired? Veterans aren’t subject to the same scrutiny that prospects get, and the older you get the better you get at projecting the image you want others to see, even if it’s not true. I don’t think the Lions knew what kind of person Cam Sutton really was, and I’m not sure they could have.
Disagree. Queen is a great band. Not many bands have such widespread acceptance. They have hits that are slow, fast, sound like ballads, rock, have gibberish in them, and it’s all original with no auto tuning obviously. And even small kids know the words to songs they have written now. Impressive.
Listen to some Freddie when they drop all the tracks out except his. I get that the rest of the band’s playing isn’t legend territory, but Freddie is, and their writing range is quite broad.
Could they still be overrated? Possibly, but they aren’t near the pinnacle IMO.
I knew I’d be starting some shit w/overrated bands…
He has all the leverage… He’s either going to get a new deal from NE or one from the team he’s traded to. Vets who produce don’t get shafted on the last year of an expiring contract.
