OT: Millen out as pres/GM of Lions

Well I think we can all agree that this should have happened a few years ago but the Lions have finally gotten rid of the well disliked GM Matt Millen. I wouldn't be posting or really caring so much if it wasn't for the Lions being a division foe that we have owned under the Millen era. So I guess it poised the question, and its all depends on who the bring in, will this have a swing in how we dominate the Lions? Heres to hoping it doesn't change.

Agreed

The biggest change isn’t getting Millen out, but who they bring in. Football Outsiders had a great article about Millen’s 1st round draft choice busts. As bad as they were, Detroit was worse with their top pick in the few years before Millen arrived. Where Millen really cratered as a talent evaluator was with the 4th through 7th rounds. Detroit got absolutely nothing from their late round picks.

I doubt they will find the right guy. The Detroit ineptitude goes way past Millen. These guys have only one playoff win (1991) since 1957.
