Al Saunders from Kansas City and possibly soon to be released Kerry Collins will be the targets of Lions staff this off season.

Why would they release Collins? I mean who else do they have? Are they gonna make a play for Leinert or something?

I hope they get Saunders. Their proud tradition will continue.

They'd probably have a top 10 offense.

I doubt it. They've been shitty for 100 years.

What I've been hearing is that Oakland is going to be around $35 mil over the cap heading into next season, and Collins is scheduled to count like $10 mil against the cap.

He's not worth that, and the Raiders I guess like what they've seen in Andrew Walter.

AC would be a good fit there with all of those offensive weapons. If anyone could do it, it would be him.

That's friggin hilarious, good riddance and have fun watching Joey overthrow everybody in your high powered system

Remember the Faiders still have Tui and just drafted Andrew Walter this past year.

**Anyong Bluth** · 11-29-2005, 09:31 AM

I thinks its a pretty good fit, if they can bring in a decent QB there is plenty of offensive weapons, and low expectations he won't be expected to do much

jidar · 11-29-2005, 09:32 AM

This Saunders hate is so assinine. He's only given us the #1 offense over the previous 3 years and top 5 so far this year (and climbing).
It's so easy to come on the board and say "WHAT THE HELL KIND OF PLAYCALL WAS THAT?!" .. hindsight is 20/20 I suppose.

I know one thing, once the DV era is over we're going to look back longingly at this offense and the days we could reasonably expect to put up 30 points every other game.

The bitching about the Saunders "hate" is so assinine.

THERE IS NO SAUNDERS HATE.

It's about not wanting to repeat the mistakes of the past.

NOSTALGIA does NOT win football games.

How could you possibly know it's going to go the way the Gunther thing did?
It's not like promoting Coordinators is some weird experimental thing to try.
Or did you think Gunther was the first Coordinator to be made a head coach?
I'm not saying it's a sure bet, but it's not a bad one. I think he might pull it off.
