this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I'd bet the texans are going to trade for him ( next years 1st ) and draft manziel anyway ... He aside watt would be the most dominant front of all time , I care what nobody says about that...

Re: Lions shopping Suh
I'd love to have him but we couldn't afford him, Remember we will have to pay Jordan soon too.

Re: Lions shopping Suh
The guy is a douchenozzle. I agree he's good, but I'd rather not sign players who routinely get fined for dick stomping people and being ignorant. No thanks. Too expensive and too much of a distraction.
And before everyone jumps my case...yes I agree he's damn good. But I don't have any respect for him. |

When they call him "overrated", they are 100% correct ... Suh is a myth, a brand, a "legend-in-his-own-mind" type of player. He's not happy in Detroit, never has been and will not play to his potential until he leaves the Lions. Until then, he's just marking time, playing the system & making as much money as he can ... bet. I called him out on this his 2nd year in the NFL and the Lion slappies 'bout had a fit, ... you should see 'em now all having to fall in line and begrudgingly agree with me, it's priceless, . I'm sure he'll eventually move on & become the star people try to hype him up to be, but he's really just a high-maintenance, prima-donna biotch in the honolulu blue & silver that basically goes out there every Sunday and excels at little more than gap control, IMO, . I'm honestly tired of the whole situation/drama with the guy, . |

For 2013 he had 36 tackles, 12 assists, 1 safety, 5.5 sacks (or less than 4 plays per game, and that was actually up from the two previous seasons) and none of them were important, game-changers, made a difference or came at crucial times during a game ... sorry fellas, but I just don't see the point in worshipping at the altar of Suh ... maybe I hold my heroes to a higher standard, IDK, but this guy has really only had two outstanding seasons, his senior year at Nebraska & his rookie season with the Lions ... pretty poor showing for all the hype, IMO.
I can understand why fans are infatuated with him, but upon further review, he's just an average defensive tackle with an extraordinary image/persona/contract, none of which he backs up with his play on the field, <shrug>. It is what it is ... the prosecution rests, . |

Re: Lions shopping Suh
Yea so there's this John Jenkins guy, that's a 350+ pound behemoth, that cost pennies on the dollar, and looks to be pretty damn good. We should go get him.
Oh wait... |
