They should trade some high picks for the #1 WR in the draft, they need to get to the SuperBowl ... Suh and Stafford are in their prime.
quote:
Lions wide receiver Titus Young is not enjoying life in exile, emerging from a few weeks off Twitter to go on a bit of a social-media rant.
"Like I said I never been selfish but if I'm not going to get the football i don't want to play anymore" Young wrote in a tweet that Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports has since been deleted.
As one might imagine, a tweet like that from a young player who was sent home by the Lions three times in 2012 for offenses ranging from sucker-punching a teammate (Louis Delmas) during the OTAs to showing up late for meetings before shelved for good after purposely lining up in the wrong spot in a November loss to the Green Bay Packers, was not well received by Lions fans.
Head coach Jim Schwartz commented on the situation from the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
"Every offensive player wants the football, and there's good ways to go about getting that and there's not-so-good ways about trying to get that done," Schwartz said. "This is a pretty good example of a not-so-good idea.
"This is sort of the world we live in with social media and stuff like that. Guys are responsible for what they post, for what they say. You wear your uniform 24 hours a day now."
In the wake of Schwartz's comments, Young again took to Twitter to express his frustration.
"Oh I'm not done, if y'all going to cut me let me go. I'm tired of the threats"
They're not going to cut him, but they might keep him inactive all year long (IR him with a mental injury) if they can't trade him.
I think Titus Young is talented. 10 cent head, but talented.
need a CTE on titus ASAP. the NFL don't need to pay for everything that's already wrong inside that skullcap.
Just think what the kitties could have done with that high 2nd round pick instead of Titus. The legend of Millen lives on. 
They're clearly a joke of a franchise, but this particular problem speaks more to the faults of the old rookie wage scale than any short comings of their FO. Aside from not avoiding picking in the top 5 regularly, of course.

...and 50% of the "brain trust".
How good Young thinks he is...
How good Young actually is...

I find the Young thing stunning. He has done almost the impossible and made Schwartz look like a sympathetic figure in that situation. He also is destroying any credibility he may have with every other NFL team out there. He needs to take a month off and get some counseling.
Young should have given himself some leverage before he started the diva routine. Those teams gave Plaxico Burress, Santonio Holmes, and TO 2nd chances because their talent was often times worth the headache. Young offers none of that. Teams won't think he's good just because he says he's good. On a team of head/testicle stompers, pot smokers, and repeat offenders, Young is the worst. No team is giving him a 2nd chance...heck Al Davis wouldn't have given him a 2nd chance. Marvin Lewis wouldn't give this guy a 2nd chance, and he took on TO AND Pacman Jones. Titus Young will be the #2 WR on a team quarterbacked by Tim Tebow in Canada in 2 years.
