Offtopic » Detroit Lions approval poll: Bob Quinn (September 2018)

When we last checked in on Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn Youth Jarrad Davis Jersey , he had just come off his third draft. While there was a small minority questioning some of Quinn’s choices, Lions fans overwhelmingly approved of his picks. Fan confidence in Quinn had reached an 89 percent approval rating—the highest he’s had since he fired Jim Caldwell and hired Matt Patricia. Here’s a look at the history of Bob Quinn’s approval rating.May 2018: 89 percent approvalMarch 2018: 83 percent approval February 2018: 92 percent approvalNovember 2017: 78 percent approvalOctober 2017: 82 percent approvalAugust 2017: 95 percent approvalJune 2017: 93 percent approvalApril 2017: 97 percent approvalFebruary 2017: 93 percent approvalDecember 2016: 96 percent approvalAugust 2016: 70 percent approvalJune 2016: 86 percent approvalApril 2016: 74 percent approvalFebruary 2016: 72 percent approvalA lot has changed since May. Detroit sits at 0-2, and not only are fans questioning his hiring of his friend Matt Patricia, but Quinn’s personnel decisions are rightfully facing some scrutiny. His first draft class produced two starters in Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow, but just about everyone else has been a disappointment. A’Shawn Robinson was a healthy scratch in Week 1, Miles Killebrew still hasn’t carved out a role in three years, and all of his Day 3 picks are either off the team or stuck in backup roles they’ll likely never escape from.His 2017 class looks even worse. First-round pick Jarrad Davis is going through some serious struggles. Teez Tabor and Jalen Reeves-Maybin haven’t jumped into starting roles Cheap Frank Ragnow Jersey , as expected. While he admittedly hit on Kenny Golladay in the third and Jamal Agnew in the fifth, potentially missing on early rounders could prove costly. However, it’s still too early to make final judgements on these second-year players.Quinn’s free agency moves have been a mixed bag this year. Devon Kennard looks like a savvy move thus far, but the additions of Sylvester Williams and Ricky Jean Francois have quite possibly left the Lions defensive line even worse than last year. On offense, Kenny Wiggins and LeGarrette Blount have added valuable depth, but Detroit’s tight end situation has been cratered. Over the past week or two, I’ve seen a lot more Lions fans putting Quinn under the microscope. Now in his third year on the job Tavon Wilson Jersey , it doesn’t appear he’s made the Lions roster drastically better than it was before he arrived. It’s worth noting that the team is now going through some drastic schematic changes and some of the players he drafted for last year’s coaching staff may not be great fits in the Patricia era, but talent is talent, and fans are right to question whether Quinn has done a good enough job thus far. With that in mind, it’s time to vote. Do you approve of the job Bob Quinn is doing as the Detroit Lions general manager?Report: LB Marquis Flowers signing with Detroit Lions Sometimes a roster move is so obvious that you know it’s going to happen before it even does. A good example would be when the New England Patriots released Marquis Flowers this weekend. He’s a name many thought the Detroit Lions would target in free agency, but the young linebacker chose to stay in New England. But after he was cut by the Patriots this week, you just knew Matt Patricia was going to go get him, and http://www.lionsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ricky-jean-francois-jersey , indeed, that’s exactly what happened according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter:As you may remember, Flowers was a former sixth-round pick who credits Patricia for his development in the NFL. Check out this quote from Flowers from a great piece in the Providence Journal:After being just a special teams guy with the team that drafted him—the Cincinnati Bengals—Flowers had a somewhat breakout year last year in New England. He played in all 16 games, made two starts, and tallied 32 tackles and 3.5 sacks. Those aren’t exactly eye-popping numbers, but this is a Lions team that needs some serious depth at linebacker, and Flowers is a guy that knows exactly what Patricia is looking for in the position. The Lions will obviously have to make a corresponding move to fit Flowers on the roster. If Detroit decides to replace another linebacker on the roster Kenny Golladay Jersey , Trevor Bates is the most likely player to be cut. However, Detroit does have a surplus of players at other positions (coughwidereceivercough) that could be trimmed.
