If I were the Lions I would have taken a shot on a QB this year. I get what they're doing, which is building the roster while auditioning Goff, but if they end up needing to take a QB next year in the draft then they have a QB clock starting rather late in the rebuild. So I would have taken Corral and parked his ass on the depth chart to give myself a cheaper option than Goff next year if I don't like how his development goes.
Last year around this time there was talk of how good the Lions would be, bouyed largely by belief in Jared, that he would elevate things. By the time we got deep into the season, though, it was poor Jared. It was how could he win games with that terrible roster. Needless to say I no longer believe in him, so to me there is a good chance Detroit is going to be drafting a QB next year and personally I don't like the way that is going to line up for them. They're not gonna do anything with a rookie. So that means they're two years out for the playoffs, which in today's league is a whole lot of patience required by ownership.
But maybe Jared improves considerably. Or maybe Brad makes a move for a QB. So we'll see how it goes.
