Shiiidddddd…being a Lions fan means you have no room to talk. Can’t criticize a 5-time Super Bowl winning franchise when the team you root for has one playoff win since 1957
No…its ok to have opinions on winning…but when you start criticizing another franchise on losing when your franchise has been pure shit that’s when i chime in
Football knowledge of individual fans is not dependent on their favorite teams win/loss record.

I agree with frm here. None of us made the past decisions that kept the Lions from being a contender
One can both be a fan of the Lions, want those to win and still have critical opinions of any other teams decisions
You’ve got it backwards. I have a PHD in shitty football decisions and know it when I see it. Now when it comes to winning football I’ll keep my opinions to myself lol.

In that case lets all quit talking about football. The only ones who can talk have to have played in the NFL for the team they are talking about.
hey 9-er’s we will take Bosa off your hands…you just jump to let him walk.
Lance is one of the worst in history, for any team. When I referenced blowing the 3rd overall pick, I wasn’t talking about Kinlaw. Lynch started his tenure with the 49ers by blowing (2) 1st round picks. One of them the 3rd overall.

I guess a homeless man who stays at a shelter or in a garbage can could tell any of you how to fix repairs for your home then
So you think owning a home is a prerequisite to giving advice on home repairs? As in every single mechanic needs to own the car he’s working on? People can’t critique a movie unless they make better movies than the one that are criticizing? People can’t leave a bad YELP review at a restaurant if they don’t work at a restaurant?
Where are we going with this?

I’m sure if a homeless man comes to you with advice on how to fix your house you ain’t listening. Just the same if a 400lb fat guy wants to be your personal trainer you ain’t listening to him either. Lions fans are sudden experts on winning football??
They of course can. Doesn’t mean one has to listen. It’s also possible the homeless man was a carpenter or mechanic for years
Advice should be judged on its merit, not it’s source. Judging purely by the source is the logical fallacy of appeal to authority. Or it’s sister fallacy appeal to false authority

Sorry dude…but you ain’t listening to no 400 lb guy tryna tell you how to l use weight. If so…go ahead and admit that you would. & you ain’t listening to no homeless guy either
They are most likely not scenarios that would arise in my life. I will, however, listen to most any Lions fans opinions on NFL team building
Nah…you won’t…most in here think they are a GM and none of us have a clue how to build a team. Imma throw another one…you ain’t listening to Matt Millen are you?? Millen has more of a clue than any fan
I listen to Lions fans opinions here every day. What’s ironic about this conversation is your opinion that Lions fans aren’t qualified to have opinions on team building is you, as a Lions fan, voicing an opinion on team building, and me listening
Consider this. I have a good friend who works at Central City Concern. They develop programs to take the state money allocated for houselessness and create boots on the ground programs
Let’s say I volunteered one day to organize free lunch and struck up a conversation with a houseless veteran who was in the army corps of engineers and a carpenter for 20 years before his wife and child died in a car accident and he slipped into a heroin stupor for a decade. Now he’s sober and having a meal at the shelter. We’re talking about framing and deck building. Do I dismiss his advice because he’s homeless?
Or I’m at my doctors for a physical in the waiting room. Next to me in a customized cart is a 400 lb man with a breathing tube attached. We strike up a conversation because he sees my Detroit Tigers cap. He’s a Lions fan from Benton Harbor. He tells me he used to be a Division 1 lineman, professional weightlifter and personal trainer before he blew out his knee, lapsed into depression and started using food to self medicate. I told him I was looking for a way to lose 40 pounds myself and he says he has a program I could follow if I were serious. Do I dismiss this advice because he allowed himself to become morbidly obese?
I don’t voice my opinion on how to build a team. I give my opinion based on results. I already know that I am no expert and I am just a fan. Do I like certain players, sure. But do I have to go on and on about how the Lions should have drafted or signed a player that I liked?? No.nYou din’t see me doing that. I miss as much as a blind man. I would not have ever chosen Dan Campbell ver Robert Saleh…I might have been wrong on that but that’s what it would have been. Over 90 percent of us don’t have the balls to admit when we are wrong. I do though! 
I do it all the time…you can click on my handke and see my post. Many times Ive admitted I was wrong
