   We’re both 4-6-0 in the last 10, but I have to give this one to Detroit

4. nikischerbak 2 years ago

   Ouf my motivation is fading. Not sure if I’ll find the courage to watch this one.

   With so many injuries I wonder if miffed Marty has had a change of heart about being forced to play Farrell by meanie dictator GM Hughes.

   The greatest threat to Marty establishing his culture appears to be injuries.

   Fuck is detroit ecer a cautionary tale.

   This is year 7 of the rebuild and they have added 1 first rounder in the past 6 drafts.

   They have some pieces for sure, but the inability to add any high end picks when they were picking top 10 is a problem.

   They missed on a few which will happen but give themselves basically no back up chances to compensate for it.

   Even if they develop what they have, they are probably 2 players away from being legit with 1 being a superstar.

   I’m not sure detroit comes out of this as a legit contender.

   Next draft our picking criteria should be who’s most injury prone so they can fit in the team’s culture from day 1
