Detroit resigns GM Matt Millen for 5 more years.

Kylo Ren · 08-04-2005, 06:06 PM

Does he deserve it? I thought that most experts think he's a moron as GM.

**Rain Man** · 08-04-2005, 06:10 PM

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

He's the only person in the league who can't beat Mike Tice in a game of tic-tac-toe.

htismaqe · 08-04-2005, 06:23 PM

The dude seriously has like a 25% winning percentage.

keg in kc · 08-04-2005, 06:26 PM

Oh jesus.

And they won't sign Ty Law. Detroit fans must be having a conniption.

I think he's about to turn the corner now. He did make a mistake with Morninwig but alot of people could have made that mistake. Morninwig had a good reputation at the time of his hiring. He has sinced learned from his mistakes and I think the Lions are starting to become respectable again.

**Rain Man** · 08-04-2005, 06:50 PM

...and if they aren't respectable this year, he'll keep drafting wide receivers until they are.

Expect them to fight for a rule change next year so they can start going with 9 WR sets.

I think his record is something along the lines of 16-48. If I was a Lions fan I'd be pretty upset about this. The guy has overpaid for players, ask Dre Bly. Drafted a QB who looks like a scrub, then drafted 3 WR's with top 10 picks 3 years in a row. Yea as a Chiefs fan I like when any other team screws itself like this.

whoaskew · 08-04-2005, 10:26 PM

I wish I could underperform like that and STILL get a contract extension

Isn't that taking the Run and Shoot a little too far?

I call it the shoot and shoot....

1 center, 1 qb and 9 wr....

It can only be counter by the 1-0-09 defense

So crazy it just might work.

Well, Im sure the Detroit fans are pretty pissed off, and they especially will be when DJ turns out to be an incredible monster that the Lions could have, should have, and were expected to select in the draft.

Personally though, I like it. If you have to have a team picking ahead of you in the draft, it always helps when they have a moron calling the shots.
