Lions and Hendon

[Vol4life2]

Right. He can say anything he wants about Hendon but it is obvious they don't trust him. I guess they are OK with destroying Hookers confidence in the organization for career backup #'s, 1 playoff game ever played in, and a 43-36 career record.

Career
15,120yards. 75TD's 47picks. And a rating of 90.5.

They have been decimated on the Defensive side and just want a proven QB backup on roster in case Jared gets hurt. Doesn’t mean Hendon won’t play but would likely have a short leash.

Romo can't play at the pro level bud----big difference dude

That's my point as far as being one of the best at it. Romo is a great player and can't sniff the highest level

 

[TrueOrange]

The Lions just brought Teddy Bridgewater out of retirement for their playoff games. Maybe Hemdon will get traded and have a shot to play.....

The NFL season is already past the trade deadline for the year, unfortunately.

The NFL season is already the trade deadline for the year, unfortunately.

He can get traded as soon as the superbowl is over. Even if he could be traded this year he would not very to play

Best job in the NFL is a QB3

Carry a board & don’t get hit. Make a nice living that can carry you forever the longer you make the roster.

A lot of NFL teams actually don’t seem to keep a 3rd QB on the roster anymore (especially longer term, with 3 QBs on roster not being a requirement anymore). Much of the league just rosters 2 QBs and uses the extra open roster spot for another position.

Smart athletes cash checks and live long healthy lives. To your question, college baseball and I play golf as a hobby, you don’t have to be too athletic for that.

I play golf for a living and have for 23 years. The back and knees are sore every day, but I still would not take the money and miss the rush of competition.

 

[Golfprovol]

Big and tall helps a lot on the links. There is a reason Cory Paven only won a US Open at one of the shorter courses.

 

[KTrain]

That's BS. I was and I would have loved to have been good enough to earn a spot on the roster. Most athletes will tell you the same

Spurrier said his time carrying clip Board for 49ners was best of his career, jump started his coaching career.

Joshua Dobbs approves this message.

Hold the clipboard and be ready if they call. Most years they don't call that often.

Odds are anyone making any kinda living for 23 years has to deal with sore backs, knees, hips, necks, etc daily. Sounds like a fair trade

Would not trade it for anything. I know I am capable of winning but more than likely not gonna happen at my age, but the rush of the competition is unbelievable and worth all the travel, the pain, the missed cuts, the hotels, the terrible locker room food......

This is probably more likely a "mentor" role or an audition for a job on the staff next year imo. I doubt Teddy wants to be taking hits out there after everything he's been through. And the Lions love coaches who are former players.

Hooker’s a great quarterback and all, but can he sell mayonnaise?

This is what I get from it. Teddy said he wanted to be on a championship team before getting into coaching. It's probably an unannounced handshake deal. If the Lions win the Super Bowl, Teddy becomes an assistant coach next year. Kinda audition him to see what he can bring to the table for both Goff and Hooker.

You do if you play at a high level---

John Daly begs to differ.

There's also quite a few golfers that, while they aren't slobs like Daly, they certainly would never be confused with a top tier athlete. Guys like Lucas Glover.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

It simply means that they’re more comfortable headed into the playoffs with Bridgewater, who has started over 60 games in his career, being the backup.

OR maybe they realistically feared only having an inexperienced guy to throw out there if #1 goes down thru the post season. May never know, won’t know for sure until a need arises and one of them runs out there. Anything else is STUPID speculation, the worst is stir it up AGENDA driven. Pretty transparent by SOME. Bridgewater is not their future. Hooker? TBD.

Sure it does, but then there are guys like McIlroy and Thomas.

I’m thinking it means that Goff is their guy for the foreseeable future and Hendon costs too much salary cap as a high 3rd round pick. They’re getting ready to trade Hendon?

Titans need him. Badly. Why they chose a clown from Kentucky over Hooker I’ll never understand. Maybe they learned their lesson

Titans are a loser organization.

 

[igotworms]

I played baseball, basketball and golf. Golf is certainly a sport as much as any, but you don't have to be big, tall and/or run fast to do it. I played on championship teams in all three sports at various points in my lifetime, as a starter, and golf is easily harder to be really good at than the other two, relatively speaking

Gold if a game. There is no defense. It's something you do alone against yourself. It is NOT a sport.

2022 was one heck of a fun season.
Best of luck to HH

Respectfully, disagree. This is most likely “we want a veteran QB with postseason experience on the roster for the playoffs if our starter gets hurt” type of move. It unfortunately, also, suggests they don’t want to be in a position of having to start Hendon in the postseason if Goff gets hurt.

No, that’s doubtful. I look for them to sign Daniel Jones to a $100 Million contract. It’s the only logical Titan’s move to make. But yeah-drafting Hendon would’ve made too much sense

 

[TrueOrange]

If anything is of concern about his salary cost and they were trying to get rid of him, his contract situation shifts after this season and makes him a lot easier for them to cut in the next year or two, if anything.

In 2025, his contract only becomes a $579k penalty if cut, while freeing up $980k for the team (unless they cut him after June 1…then it’s only a $289k penalty while freeing up $1.27 Mil for the team).
In 2026, his contract becomes only a $289k penalty if cut, while freeing up $1.53 Mil for the team.

My point mostly being that, if they were at the point of thinking Hooker’s salary is too high, it would probably mean they’re at a point where they’d be likely cutting him in the next year or two over anything else (rather than trying to shop him around as a trade).

He hasn't taken a live snap in almost 2 years and has knees that would make Derrick Rose feel sorry for him. I don't see them relying on him to make a run in playoffs of Goff gets hurt. But we can agree to disagree, no worries.
