A few reasons why this football team just plain sucks:
- William Clay Ford Sr. & Matt Millen - These are interrelated. If you build a shitty car and compound that with a shitty paint job, your once shitty car is now even more shitty. Ford built a shitty car (no pun intended) and decided to have Matt Millen paint it and add various accessories. When is Matt Millen, a former NFL LINEBACKER going to learn that wide receivers don't win games?
- "With the 1st pick in the 2009 NFL draft, the Detroit Lions select Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech!"
- Personnel - The hiring of Mad Martz and Rod Marinelli had potential save the fact that they don't have the personnel to get anything done. If you're the greatest chess player in the universe and you only get a king vs. an opponent with a full slate of pieces, you have no chance of winning. IMO, I think Florida /Alabama could beat this team on a neutral field.
- Player IQ - running out of the back of an end-zone results in a safety. I think you learn that in pee-wee ball.
- Quarterback - Daunte Culpepper? Um... way to go out and pick up a washed out, compulsive fumbling machine...
- Barry Sanders retired.
I wonder if there's a contractual clause that pays the management, coaches, and team an annual bonus for going defeated/winless... Kind of like those guys at AIG, Ford, and Citigroup.
