I've been predicting this since 2011 and knew when his sister moved last October it was a done deal. He simply didn't want to be in Detroit and I'm glad now the team can stop kissing his overly large, narcissistic ass trying to retain him. He's an individual playing a team sport. I'd much rather have the cap space.

As for the speculation that Detroit's #2 defensive ranking will suffer, let's not forget that ranking was built on an extremely weak strength-of-schedule with over half of their opponents finishing .500 or less ... and you'll notice, the good teams/offenses had no problems putting up points/yds on the Lions #2 defense, Kyle Orton & Drew Stanton threw for 300yds vs Suh's awesome pass rushing technique, for crissake, ... yeah, Kyle Orton & Drew Stanton. They weren't a legitimate #2 in the first place.
Before Suh:
- the Lions hadn't won a SuperBowl
- weren't contenders
- had problems beating + .500 teams
- finished 6-10, 4-12, 7-9
With Suh:
- the Lions didn't win a SuperBowl
- weren't contenders
- had problems beating + .500 teams
- finished 6-10, 4-12, 7-9
Without Suh:
- the Lions won't win a SuperBowl
- won't be contenders
- will have problems beating + .500 teams
- will finish 6-10, 4-12, 7-9

Absolutely nothing changes. The guy is not an "impact player", he's not a "game changer", he doesn't instantly make a team a "contender" On average he made approx. 3-4 plays per game (tackles, sacks, assists) ... none of them at a critical times or that impacted the outcome of a game. It's 2015, defensive tackles don't win football games.

The guy's a myth and the product of media hype and I am so glad he's gone ... no more drama, WooHoo!!


thanks for the insight
