Yeah, it's still hard to say I'm stoked that the Lions basically took a flier on a rookie head-coach that nobody else was interested in, immediately traded away the best QB they've ever had & then didn't even try to re-sign any of their starting WRs, but none of those things was the wrong move to make considering the circumstances that Quinn & Patricia left behind.

All the talk about Wilson & Watson eventually faded away & the Stafford deal seems to be the only blockbuster to have materialized into reality, which makes it look all the better in hindsight & while no Lions fans are in love with the idea of Goff, like you guys are saying he is viable enough that they could truly develop a rookie QB, if that's the way they want to go.

I also agree that as attractive as the top stud WRs are that seems like a tough fit for where this Lions team is at, comparatively. QB would potentially have room & time to develop, tackle would be part of a strong young unit, but a WR would immediately be the #1WR in this Goff offense & under much more pressure, for better or worse.
