Anyone worried about the signing of Eric Ebron?
From what I've gathered a lot of Lions fans seem to strongly dislike this player. This is just one example:
QuoteThis Ebron play basically summed up why many of our fans hated him.
Hey Ebron the drops were frustrating. And the fact that you weren't Aaron Donald was unfair to you. But you could've been beloved in this town if you worked hard and put maximum effort out on the field which nobody believed that you ever did. You had a ton of god-given talent and maybe if you worked harder at the game instead of complaining about how the fans don't love you all the time on social media you wouldn't have been cut.
Now, some of their resentment may stem from that fact that he didn't live up to the expectations that come from being a first round draft pick, but it still makes me a bit uneasy reading their various descriptions of Ebron. I'm sure Ballard and co. did their research thoroughly, so I guess we'll find out. Just don't like seeing and hearing things like the above example.

Gambling is a wonderful thing if done properly. It can up the excitement for a game/multiple games. Do your research, and you can make a nice profit from it. I'm not from the US, but IMO sports betting (if done responsibly) can add a nice flavor to your life.

He just couldn't stay clean, or he wasn't clever enough to not get caught.
Good thing the Colts didn't keep him. Injured or suspended with the Bears.

Maybe Fountain should just worry about getting his job instead of worrying about someone else?
Who says he isn't?
Fact is that Nelson was the only one mentioned, and that should definitely be called out if (as Reece says) there were more players out there doing extra work.

This is a reply from Fountain on the tweet that showed Nelson working out on his own after practice.
If true that is a pretty crappy thing to do. No need to push the "Nelson is unique"-narrative. We know that. If Cain and Fountain were also out there (i.e. Reece's tweet), then they should be mentioned too.
Why would Amber and co. do something like that?

And Case Keenum as QB.

The career underachiever is Ebron, not the rookies. My initial post here was in response to what CR91 said.
You responded to a post mentioning the offense with TY, Mack and Hines. You also wrote "underacheiver" and "unknowns". So even though you just edited the rather negative end of your post aimed at me, I have read the whole thread. I simply dont agree with you that about the "players" (plural is what you wrote in).

I'm sure my statement makes sense either way. TY is the only playmaker. The rest are relatively unknowns and a career underachiever.
Rookies are not career underachievers. Neither is Mack. Ty, Hines, Mack could all be playmakers together.

that maybe, but we've not made the playoffs once since he left...
I'm sorry, but that's the most nonsensical implied causality I've read in a while.

Softest TE in the league.
Probably.

With the draft and UDFA we got some competition at WR.

NOW the real fun begins!

Not going to pretend that I know anything about this kid. Why not Cain or St. Brown
Every pick you ask that question. How about accepting that not all the players YOU know are going to be picked?

Huh??? Wow...I'm trying my best to stay positive about this draft.
You're joking, right?
Have you seen Nyheim play?!

Love it. Absolutely love it. Big time playmaker.
Link to Nyheim AMA (=fan-player interaction)
Some of the interaction:QuoteFan: Your teammate, Bradley Chubb, is expected to be a top ten pick. What was it like going up against him in practice?
Hines:It was hell...for him.
QuoteFan: How much do you read into mock drafts and reports from draft experts to see where you're projected to go? Do you watch yourself climbing/falling in draft rankings or just kinda do your thing and see how it all plays out?
Hines: No i don't watch much of the draft projections, friends and family have showed me projection and I believe I will go higher than all of the mock drafts i have seen.
QuoteFan: What Running Back has most inspired you/ who have you modeled your game after?
Hines: Warrick Dunn, Priest Holmes were my favorites growing up, I love McCaffery's and Kamara's game.
QuoteFan: Who's your favorite RB form days of NFL past? Who's your current favorite?
Hines: From the past Warrick Dunn. Present: Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey. I feel our games are similar.
QuoteFan: Who do you think your best NFL comparison is?
Hines: Tyreek Hill - I'm explosive and dangerous.
QuoteFan: What was the craziest question you were asked at the combine?
Hines: Nothing crazy like you may have heard. Whether I was a dog or a cat was about as weird as it got.
Fan: Well... are you a dog or a cat?
Hines: A dog. Because I'm territorial!
QuoteFan: Did you get a chance to talk with Bill Belichick at your pro day? And if so, how did it go?
Hines: I was literally face to face with him and he told me how to run a route and then walked away. Is that considered talking to Bill Belichick.
QuoteFan: You have a very unique first name. Is there any backstory behind it?
Hines: I have a twin sister named Nyah. We were Zion and Zoe for 3 days and my grandmother told my mom those names were "yuck."
QuoteFan: Do you see yourself in a similar role like Cohen and Hill are for their respective teams?
Hines: Absolutely
QuoteFan: What do you think your biggest strength is coming into the NFL? Thing you need to work on the most? Also, good luck with the draft
Hines: I'm a Swiss army knife. I can line up anywhere, I can play specials, and I can do all of those things well. I can always stand to improve in all facets of the game, even my supposed strengths, so I just work on giving 100% and getting better.

What free agency?
The one in 2019, which we've obviously been aiming at, when out first targets this FA weren't landed.
-
Do you expect the whole roster to be fixed in one draft? Don't be unrealistic, please.
Ballard just made it very clear that the trenches are being prioritized this offseason.
TY, Rogers, Grant, Ebron and Doyle should be enough for this season in the pass catching department.
RB and DB can still be addressed in the 4th and 5th round x2 (remember Hairston?).
Colts will have to do without high picks at skill positions this year though. Just the way it is. Next season with FA and draft those positions can be the focus.

I can guarantee you I'm worth more in life than you, your mother, your children, etc. Also you should get a warning for calling me a nobody @Nadine
I can guarantee you that you still dont have any worth compared to Ballard. You are a nobody compared to Ballard, so stop acting like your opinion is superior in any way. You have no credentials.

Bro I don't like Ballard, and after New England played him like a fiddle, I truly believe that he's in over his head. He is in the wrong sport for how he sees the game, he has a baseball/basketball approach, but the difference is those aren't contact sports and much more violent. You can't analyse football like baseball. This draft was loaded and every player we could of hope for feel in our lap and what does this intellectual disabled fool does? He goes digging in Barrel trying to find diamonds In the rought in the freaking 2nd round. We're going 4-12 with these sucker moves
Ballard is rated by his peers as one of the best. You're a nobody.
What makes you think your opinion and valuation are worth anything compared to Ballard's?

Yeah, that's what I'm counting on too. He seems really fired up on social media - at the moment. But even as a receiving tight end I still think about what his behaviour could be if the start of the season doesn't go as we all hope it does. The Detroit fans seem to genuinely think he is toxic and way too finger-pointing in his behaviour, making him a bad signing. Another Detroit fan writes:
I really hope they are wrong, and he has changed. Has to fit a proper culture.
