Hey guys I am making an attempt for making Trout for PPJ. I am in the second year and these are my stats 3BBBCEE. I just got Dr. Goodjob. Should I go for it and risk everything, or just don't do it and see how I do without him.

Do it! Choose Becoming Stronger.

OK I will try it. If it works PPJ will be proud.

EDIT: I knew I shouldn't have done it. I will try again on Trout.

I mopped the Super Sittches in that game. But we were losing 3-0 at a point.

Ok guys I am making trout again. So far it is almost the end of the first year and I am 3BBCFEF.

Good. Get that defense up, and you'll be good.

Two out of three picked the Bears to win the division over the Packers and all three put the Lions in third...

The Bears are horrible. Cutler sucks, the O-line is horrible, the defense isn't that good anymore... all they have is Forte. As much as it pains me to say this, how do you put them ahead of the Packers?

Also, every analyst I've heard this preseason just can't shut up about the Lions' secondary. Sure it's bad, but it's not like it's gotten worse from last season, and even then the Lions had a better pass defense than the Super Bowl-winning Giants and the division-leading Packers. Also, people seem to forget that Matt Stafford is probably the 5th or 6th best quarterback in the league, and Calvin Johnson is easily the best wideout.

And seriously... the Bears? Really?

I'm probably going to start recording the Orioles game for the Mendenhals right about now.

SkittleMonster · **Posted:** Mon Sep 03, 2012 12:30 pm

Yes, really. Cutler doesn't suck, and he has lots of weapon who he's used to. The defense is older, but they still have Urlacher. Not to mention they have the best return man in football, and that's not even close. Hester is far and way the best, giving the opponents another thing to worry about

I wouldn't put Stafford 5th or 6th best quarterback in the NFL, but he is better than Cutler if only by a little bit. The Lions are also VERY immature. I don't think the Bears are better, though.

detroittigers15 · **Posted:** Mon Sep 03, 2012 12:39 pm

Maybe saying Cutler sucks was an over exaggeration... but he's not good.

I'd say Stafford is behind only Brees, Brady, Rodgers, and maybe one or two more that I'm not thinking of.

From a stats perspective, Stafford is 5th or 6th. But that's mainly because the Lions are allergic to running the ball.

Rob Jaworski ranked Stafford 14th if that means anything

detroittigers15 · **Posted:** Mon Sep 03, 2012 12:44 pm

Well, in my opinion, shouldn't it be harder for him to be successful throwing the football if opponents are always expecting it?

Last year, his passer rating was only behind Rodgers, Brees, Brady, and Romo.

EDIT: Just noticed that link... lolwut how is Flacco ahead of Stafford?

SkittleMonster · **Posted:** Mon Sep 03, 2012 12:49 pm

Because Stafford has only had one good season. If he can prove he'll be healthy, he'll be an elite QB in my book. Flacco isn't great, but he's consistent and has ridiculous arm strength.

Although, I can argue both sides of both QB's. These are just the stances I'm choosing right now
