Mlive comment of the day

The Killer has a article citing the Lions positional (lack of) strengths and (several) needs that has his Mlive acolytes all in a tizzy. The comment thread is full of crazy and outlandish scenarios (Trade Roy Williams for a 1st and 3rd round picks, trade Shaun Rogers and a pick for //name any pro bowl player//, sign several free agents, you know the drill) that would never happen, as most of the proposed moves depend on the rest of the NFL being as moronic as Millen.

Nice to think about, but just a dream....

samebadlions doesn't bother with those fantastical scenarios, and instead posts a comment dripping with sarcasm...

Wow, that's a long list of needs...but what do you expect after screwing up so many drafts? It's good to see the Lions are set at K/P/WR. It only took Millen seven years to solidify the three most important units of a team.

I have to admit, that snide comment made me laugh. But it's also factually wrong. Kicker Jason Hanson was already in Detroit when Millen arrived. So he's only solidified 2 positions in 7 years. At the rate of improvement samebadlions describes, the Lions should be in fine shape by 2070. Give or take a couple of years, of course...
