Jason Smith to this point has been a huge bust. He was supposed to be Bradford's great blind side protector and instead he has struggled on the field, when he can get on it. We're not missing anything.

Robert Gallery's career has been hall of fame compared to Jason Smith's. Dude has been a huge bust.

The HT trade would be a gamble with Roy being hurt and maybe IR bound, but I think we could get at least a couple mid rounders for him, maybe at least one second rounder. Lions are not going to get to the promised land if opposing defenses can just concentrate on stopping the passing game.

Oh i am not denying that the lions need a back but to give up a second rounder for a guy who just saw his first action in almost a year would be - well stupid. Plus as you yourself pointed out helu is injured and royster probably cant shoulder a real heavy load. That leaves us with alfred morris who i love but im not pinning my hopes on him just yet. It doesnt make sense from either side. If helu was a go than i could see the lions offering up like a fifth and seventh for hightower.

Second overall pick in 2009. Concussions and other injuries really hampered him though. Baylor guy.

So has there still been no official confirmation about the compensation for Barnes? I know someone said a 7th round pick but I thought that was speculative.

[FRPLG]

Numerous posts cite it as a conditional pick. Most likely depends on if he ends up making the team. Probably a 7th. Might escalate based on playing time too. I doubt it gets higher than a 5th. I mean they knew we were going to cut him anyways.

Knew something i didnt. Not that i am privy to any inside information other than what my dog tells me but i figured he was a keeper

A little perspective. When we traded for Hightower we gave up Vonnie Holliday and a conditional pick (6th).

Well you are obviously playing right into his side of the argument Matty. Everyone knows Vonnie is a perennial pro bowler and was the cornerstone of our offense, defense and special teams. Not to mention coaching, front office work, and concessions during the games.

A couple Of 2s would and could get MJD. They aren't looking to make a deal like that anyway.

•edit... Unless they just brought Cerrato in as a GM.

Like Cerrato would actually trade a 2nd rounder and a perennial all-pro cornerback for a running back. .......no wait.

Although this topic should be in another thread......

The Skins Burgundy is more of a Maroon and their Gold is more Yellow. They should just change their colors to Maroon and Yellow otherwise use Burgundy is more purplish/red. As far as the Gold I prefer the darker metalic color similar to Florida State. < to me that is true Gold... not the yellow we use now.

Personally the team should just announce a color change to shut us all up or move to the actual colors.
