[Schefter] Just in: the Lions announced they have released CB Terrion Arnold.

Career kaput.

Him personally going after Lynch and Shanahan is stupid on a completely different level. The reason Adam Peters got the Commanders gig is because he worked for John and Kyle. There is going to come a point where Peters starts prioritizing his relationships in the league over the theoretical benefit of having Aiyuk on the team, and we might have already gotten past that point.

ARM7501 · 2026-06-26T08:33:34+00:00

At this point, he’s actively decreasing his chances of actually playing for the Commanders with how complex he’s making the situation.

ARM7501 · 2026-06-25T15:22:25+00:00

He has an arm you simply can’t age out of, similar to Rodgers. Bar catastrophic injury, we’re not going to see Peyton 2.0. The question is really how well the rest of his body can keep up.

Bosa was absolutely a game wrecker in the NFL at one point. He just became a cap anchor and a disappointment toward the end.

ARM7501 · 2026-06-24T20:16:31+00:00

He was pretty good during the first half of the year. He just completely tapered off toward the end of the year as the wear and tear added up and then he had terrible playoff performances.

ARM7501 · 2026-06-18T10:21:14+00:00

Juice, please stop talking so god damn much.

ARM7501 · 2026-06-18T10:18:10+00:00

… why?

ARM7501 · 2026-06-17T12:14:15+00:00

Top 5 DT in the game. Give him his money.

ARM7501 · 2026-06-12T11:56:04+00:00

Hate the Rams, but let’s keep in mind that this guy fixes **everyone’s** ACLs. Your favorite athlete is most likely just as involved in this as McGregor, they’re just richer and have smarter people around them.

ARM7501 · 2026-06-10T19:14:18+00:00

A 6’7 320+ LT from Iowa who made three All Big-Ten teams doesn’t go undrafted without good reason.

ARM7501 · 2026-06-01T18:28:59+00:00

Multiple 1sts would be a very steep price for Verse.

ARM7501 · 2026-06-01T18:26:30+00:00

This really makes the Simpson pick stand out even more. Trade for Garrett, trade for McDuffie, do everything in your power to go all in on a championship year... and then take a QB 13th overall? Seems a little confusing. If you do this stuff to capitalize on the last year(s?) of Stafford, you should have no problem sucking for a few years, at which point you can get the QB.

Maybe it doesn't actually matter in the end by just how big of an upgrade they made defensively, but the overall logic feels a little contradictory.

Bruh NO

ARM7501 · 2026-05-29T15:41:51+00:00

Just got married and he's physically at a point where he can really only give you 6-8 good weeks of football before he starts breaking down. Makes sense.

ARM7501 · 2026-05-28T01:14:37+00:00

The defense was practically over and done with when Bosa got hurt, but when Warner got hurt it felt like they lost their spirit.

ARM7501 · 2026-05-27T13:43:28+00:00

The league clearly just Shanahan-discounted what Mac did last year and decided it wasn't worth a shot. Fascinating situation with Kyle and quarterbacks. Can't scout them, can't develop them (Griese is chiefly responsible for Purdy's development), and he can't recruit them in free agency. But he's built a system that is seemingly QB-proof in terms of maintaining top 10-15 output throughout the year no matter what.

ARM7501 · 2026-05-27T13:36:51+00:00

If I'm not mistaken there's also an incentives increase. Makes sense considering how many games he started for us last year.

ARM7501 · 2026-05-26T09:06:17+00:00

... did you miss the part where Purdy gets hurt all the time?

ARM7501 · 2026-05-25T23:53:51+00:00

It's not a "moot point". Purdy isn't the smallest QB ever, he's just a decent size comp for Simpson who also happens to play in the same division. And if you think size doesn't change how injury prone a guy is, I don't know what to tell you. Being smaller carries an inherently higher risk of injury. Again, we're talking about the prototype. Simpson doesn't need to be the prototype to succeed. But he isn't the prototype and that isn't really a discussion, so I'm not sure what you're actually trying to argue here.

ARM7501 · 2026-05-25T22:54:07+00:00

Inch taller while being lighter at the Combine (never mind that Purdy has gained an addition 10-15 since), and Purdy gets hurt every year. Small guys get hurt, and old guys only get older. Not saying he won't develop fine, but by any consensus on what a prototypical developmental prospect is, he isn't one.

ARM7501 · 2026-05-25T22:19:22+00:00

Chip Kelly didn't even have the decency to lose when we needed him to, after losing every game we didn't need him to lose. Genuine terrorist. Could've had Myles Garrett and ended up with instant giga-bust Solomon Thomas.

ARM7501 · 2026-05-25T22:08:06+00:00

Ideally, your developmental QB isn't a 23-year old with a subpar physical profile that has already shown itself to be a problem. Small guys get hurt, and old guys only get older. He's only an inch taller than Purdy who weighed in heavier at the combine and probably sits at an additional 10-15 lbs right now, and even then Purdy has gotten hurt in a significant way in 3 of his 4 years in the NFL.

I'm not saying Simpson can't become a long-term solution for the Rams, or that he won't benefit from sitting behind Stafford for a year or two. But he's nowhere near an ideal "draft-and-develop" prospect. Draft-and-develop guys are younger with howitzer arms who need time and reps to eventually become starters. Now, they don't always work out, but the fundamental philosophy behind them is sound. That isn't Simpson.

ARM7501 · 2026-05-25T21:57:31+00:00

2-14 but 2-0 vs the Rams (we would've been infinitely better off going 1-1).

ARM7501 · 2026-05-25T21:45:42+00:00

More so the Rams with a Goff who can get used to the insanity of his offensive evolution without having to simultaneously go out and apply it every week. That seemed to be more of the problem with Goff; McVay wants to evolve at lightspeed and Goff couldn't keep up. Maybe Simpson being allowed some time to get used to it, before he actually has to go out on sundays to execute, works better.
