The Lions' failures in 2009 will have little to do with Hicks.

REALLY?

Please try to follow: if Jim Schwartz's idea of "adding depth" is to sign a guy like Eric Hicks, who hasn't played since 2007, and whose play had completely fallen off well before he dropped out of the league, then the Lions will fail not because of Hicks, but rather because their coach is, in fact, reeruned.
Of course, all of this is meaningless because even Ray Charles, who is both blind and dead, can see that signing Hicks was a Gunther move. Which blows up your assertion that Gun will have no influence there.
Which gets us back to the point, which is that the Lions signing Larry Foote will probably turn out poorly because, just like the last time this exact same scenario unfolded, Gun will try to force a square peg into a round hole until it blows up in his face.
