I am a Lions fan, but can we be honest about where the organization is right now? We finally fired Millen, which was a great step in the right direction, but there is still a lot more to do. Trading Roy Williams and getting multiple draft picks is exactly what the organization should be doing. Matt Millen must have always had a false sense of closeness, and by closeness I mean he thought the Lions were a couple players away from being competitive. Clearly that is/was not the case. If it takes 0-16 this year to go 12-4 sometime in the next five years, I'm on board. Getting the #1 pick in the draft would be nice. Since we are rebuilding, we should TRULY rebuild, not fake rebuild with Kitna and Roy and other mid-life crisis veterans. The future is Kevin Smith, Calvin Johnson, Ernie Sims, DeWayne White, Daniel Bullocks, etc. I'll be watching as intently as ever for the rest of the season, hoping that no one gets hurt, hoping that the young talent plays well and develops, hoping the coaching staff shows some savvy in key moments, but as for wins and losses...I'm over it, don't really care about this year anymore. I'm thinking about the future, which is what the organization should have been doing three years ago.
Agree? Disagree?

All very good points. However, if ownership doesn't make an intelligent decision in hiring a new GM to right the ship it won't make any difference. They need someone that can use that #1 pick as it should be used. Can you say "Joe Thomas"? Millen has left this in such a mess, it'll be quite some time before we see 12-4. Go Rays!
