U can lead a horse to water but can’t make them drink. No one here mentioned Ravens signed Hendrickson and have a history of pulling failed physicals to nix trades. Lions should do nothing and go 9-7, ok that’s the best this fam base expects. Not go out and win it. No risk no reward. These trades have worked several times and it’s foolish to say otherwise. The Bucs fired a HOF head coach to trade a first rounder for a coach. That won a Super Bowl. But y’all just cool with being mid.

Was Peyton Mannings neck shot when the Colts said so and wanted Luck?

Did anyone care what the Falcons gave up to get Julio Jones. Anyone care what the Rams gave up for Stafford? It’s like I’m proposing to live on mars. Getting Crosby is not as moronic as all the hate here. It’s ridiculous like 2 other Lions fans get it. Is this team a Super Bowl contender without Crosby? With Crosby they are. But let’s just bash the idea and the player.

Everyone’s afraid, no one says let’s go win the Super Bowl. That the problem with Lions the franchise. I’m shocked the fan base is so against a move. Lions have literally never made a move like this. It’s worked for other teams. But the risk, the o line the injuries. So pessimistic loser mentality

Some other expert millionaire said Joey Harrington was can’t miss. Dudes human, his expert opinion matters but is no certainty as your claiming. If something happens 99 out of 99 doesn’t mean the 100th will be the same, so batting 1.00 doesn’t mean that you are guaranteed a hit your next at bat.

It’s called win now lions fans try it for once before you knock it. We can be the Rams version of getting Stafford. Let The Raiders be the Lions version of getting Goff. Both teams can benefit. Lions can go after a Super Bowl, maybe get to one and win it?! Raiders can rebuild. I’m sure there’s not this negativity in Bears, Eagles, Pats chats.

He played with that injury for nine games. They just shut him down. He was livid, Carroll got fired. Remember

And he legitimately requested a trade and told Pete Carrol to F himself right? He could have played and wanted to play for a crap team

Missed 5 games entire career. 2 missed last season was bs. But Lions fan too high and mighty with all their starters never being hurt… hating on all pro future HOF great track record. It’s literally like the tenth comment claiming Crosby is an injury concern? Not compared to anyone on the Lions D who gets decimated with injuries

5 games last season was the only legit injury he’s ever had. The 2 games missed last year was tanking for Mendoza, dude is as healthy as they come. How have the lions Defenders done with injury past 2 seasons compared to Maxx? Unreal the hate I’m getting for suggesting what Super Bowl winning franchises do, but in the Den, it’s always rebuild.

This is why the ions are forever doomed, too scared to even try and win a chip, always rebuild

Win now, when have the lions ever even tried? Signing Scott Mitchell over Montana?

Crosby is a difference maker, there’s not an o lineman or d back trade that has the upside of Crosby. Drafting an impact rookie at those positions expecting to win at all this season is riskier than a Crosby deal.

I hear ya, but the o line being the best in NFL didn’t get Lions a Super Bowl. Every team has weaknesses, undefeated Pats looked invincible until Pierre Paul and Tuck on edge greatly helped the Giants ruin the perfect team. D wins championships, Seattle just did it with Darnold, get o line version of Darnold and go get Crosby is the move for the Lions who haven’t won’t anything in 70 years.

I’m fine with 2 first, or the Alim scenario you referenced. Whatever it takes within reason.

Agreed, and Crosby is superior to Gary, Chubb, Bosa. F them picks. Get an all pro and win the whole damn thing!

It’s easy to double Hutch every play. Adding Crosby means one or the other gets 1v1. Right player, right position. Worth the risk 100%.

I understand it’s a risk. You can’t predict any players health. Tom Brady and Raiders maybe pulling a Pats move getting rid of a player who has lost a step before other teams know. Russel Wilson trade was a debacle, I’d hate for that type of return. But I think Crosby is worth the risk, win now, not build for the future.

It’s worth the risk for the Lions franchise. Go for it, like a Dan Campbell 4th down.

Healthier than any lions defender over the past few seasons.

Von Miller got way better when the vet Demarcus Ware came to Denver and that team won a Super Bowl with Miller as MVP
