You guys think anybody picks him up? I donât think heâs a great fit for us, but I sure do love what he did when he was here.
Hicks is pretty darn good himself and a couple years younger than Suh.
Suh back to LA to play with Donald again wouldnât surprise me.
But, Itâs not looking like Donald will be with the Rams this season.
They have zero extra cap space. He wants s raise.
It is a stretch to say that it is looking like he wonât be a ram this coming season, the cap can be manipulated. Plenty of offseason left and he wants a new contract. Rumors are that he gets oneâŚthey arenât about to let possibly the greatest defensive player of all-time walk away. His base contract is 9.5 he is underpaid and everyone knows itâŚ
I donât care where Suh goes to play as long as itâs not here. He definitely makes the all douche bag team.
I thought Suh hated Stafford. Thereâs some bad blood between them and I donât think he goes there.
For the sake of winningâŚyou gotta put bad blood behind. And really why do they have bad blood?
Stafford doesnât seem to know why Suh doesnât like him. âWeird Dynamicâ
"Not really sure why Suh doesnât like Matthew, but Suh doesnât like Matthew. And it has become this weird dynamic in the past couple years like Suh will come out in the media and stay stuff, whatever, it doesnât even matter, it doesnât phase Matthew, it is what it is.
Very strange. All Staffordâs former teammates seem to love him. Does Suh blame Stafford for the Lions not winning when he was here!? Strange.
Heâs jealous of Matthew being the man in Detroit while he played second fiddle to him. Matthew got paid and was the face of the franchise. Suh wanted to be that, but his quasi-narcissistic personality, and Matthew, kept it from being so.
And as the sun sets on Suhâs career, he becomes smaller and smaller and smaller in the collective memory of the NFL. Where he once had the potential to become a Reggie White or Bubba Baker, his stubbornness and demeanor got in the way. Sad, really, because he truly is quite a physical specimen. Oh well, what might have been.
I still firmly believe itâs because Schwartz coddled stafford and didnât hold him to the same standard as he did with other players.
I kinda liked Schwartz but also felt it was ironic (and hypocritical) that he was this âtough guyâ that wouldnât let anything slide (not even a post game hand shake) but couldnât bench stafford or challenge him appropriately while calling other players out.
I think it caused resentment between players. LoJack spoke a little about this years after he left. But I could easily see it rubbing a guy like suh who is ALWAYS working and competing the wrong way.
Especially when your âstarâ QB is visibly pudgy, throwing games with reckless interceptions and THEN bragging about not needing and wanting to work with specialists in the off season.
Stafford knows.
I couldnât disagree more brother! Suh has had an amazing career. Super Bowl winner. Missed 2 games in 12 years, and those 2 games he was suspended. Heâs been an unreal iron man. Heâs missed 0 games in 12 years with injury, including the playoffs, thatâs well over 200 starts. Heâs commanded double teams most of his career and still has 75+ sacks as a DT.
A super bowl champion with the Bucs. And almost won another with the Rams. Heâs a hall of famer for sure in my book.
The Lions with Suh were a legit team, once we lost him we became the âgutter pussiesâ again as Wolf would say. With Suh, no one was calling us shit like that. Dominant DTâs are super hard to find.
I can subscribe to the notion that Stafford knows the root of the conflct with Suh. But I do believe he doesnât understand how deep the resentment is with Suh or why it should even be that deep of an issue. While I think Suh could be overly hostile, I do think at worst Stafford could be overly tone deaf to the root of the issue. I put the conflict more on SuhâŚhe does hate QBs. WhateverâŚGo Lions!
Full disclosure -
I bought Suhâs jersey within a day of being draftedâŚI bought Staffordâs within a day of being traded.
Yes, he won a SB.
Yes, heâs been unreal (physical specimen).
Still, thereâs a gulf between what he wanted to be and what he was. There is no âbrandâ.
We wanted him to be all those things though in Detroit right!!?
Love you brother!
Iâd guess that suh is being a girl. No offense to girls, but suh let his sister represent him in Detroit. I think suh was a great player, but heâs not anymore. Let him deal with retirement. Love him here⌠he didnât want to be hereâŚ. Is he HOF material? Maybe. Maybe not if he want HoF he shouldâve stayed Detroit and won it
A boy named Suh
Doesnât matter. Thatâs not the conversation. We were talking about his hatred of Stafford, to which I attribute most of it to jealousy and his own ambition. Thereâs his lofty aspirations of establishing a brand like Lebron James and then thereâs what he is, which ties into the original point, that he wanted to be the man, but Stafford always was.
