John Dorsey joining Lions Front Office
January 24th, 2021 at 2:17 PM ^
Who’s that? Is that the one miami qb who blew it to osu in the national championship?
January 24th, 2021 at 2:42 PM ^
That was Ken Dorsey.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:45 PM ^
That was Ken Dorsey, come on Kamala!
January 24th, 2021 at 2:47 PM ^
Is it possible that Kamala Harbaugh is the Pony Conqueror reincarnated? I’m getting that vibe.
January 24th, 2021 at 3:34 PM ^
No. This trolling is far more aggressive.
January 24th, 2021 at 4:05 PM ^
Not sure Teeba, weird ass screen name for sure. It sure does seem like a troll job.
January 24th, 2021 at 4:25 PM ^
Dude that's a troll account. Been here hours.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:47 PM ^
That was Ken and he didn’t blow anything. They won the game.....1second......2....3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11....12.....13...............and then they didn’t
January 24th, 2021 at 3:42 PM ^
You're a clown. Not the funny kind, either. Js.
January 24th, 2021 at 4:37 PM ^
In my best "Freddy Mercury" voice,
"And another one gone, another one gone, another troll bites the dust... "
January 24th, 2021 at 5:02 PM ^
Thank you.
January 24th, 2021 at 5:07 PM ^
You are on your game and we are all better for it!
January 24th, 2021 at 5:33 PM ^
Another $5, shot to hell.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:30 PM ^
You don't need $5 if you have any clue what you're doing.
January 24th, 2021 at 5:48 PM ^
Thanks neighbor ?
January 24th, 2021 at 5:03 PM ^
That was a short existence.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:26 PM ^
Isn't he the guy who built Cleveland's excellent roster ?
January 24th, 2021 at 2:28 PM ^
Cautiously optimistic that the Lions are doing something right with this plan......
January 24th, 2021 at 3:03 PM ^
Moetown, this IS the Lions so a LOT of caution is needed
January 24th, 2021 at 2:34 PM ^
Yes, and the guy who built much of Kansas City's super bowl winning roster. Drafted guys like Pat Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce.
He has his own issues (nobody's perfect) but talent scouting is NOT one of them.
January 24th, 2021 at 5:13 PM ^
He drafted Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield for their respective clubs.
He was still let go from both because some of his other decisions were suspect, including head coaching hires in Cleveland.
He was set up pretty well to succeed in Cleveland with a trove of high draft picks and a clean cap sheet.
His experience should serve the Lions well, but it's not like he's batting 1.000 on personnel decisions.
January 24th, 2021 at 5:38 PM ^
Current Chiefs GM was the one that pushed for Mahomes. Dorsey was the GM at the time though. His tenure was pretty weird. Great scouting and picks but not great at all with Cap/Contract issues. Also had some “other” stuff which caused him to leave.
January 24th, 2021 at 5:41 PM ^
Is drafting Baker something to be giving credit for? They had the #1 pick. Baker is...fine. He’s not a bust or anything, but he’s like a B to B+, and third best QB in that draft.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:33 PM ^
He made some questionable decisions as GM of Chiefs and Browns. A retread for sure but due to the inexperience of Holmes he may be helpful:

So it was Dorsey who built that Cleveland roster... that article is nuts. He did for Cleveland what they were unable to do since Kosar, and find a franchise QB.
January 24th, 2021 at 4:50 PM ^
Lifelong fan, I want to believe! I had never heard of him, this is the first story that I saw when googling, and it sounded like some Browns fans didn't like him, so the SOL BPONE popped in mind. I wonder what went wrong for him in Cleveland & KC, they both let him go. KC got to postseason many times & won the Super Bowl soon afterwards with many of the players he acquired. I guess he had issues with his management style and salary cap. Sounds like a positive move overall.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:53 PM ^
He isn’t going to be the GM and he is an excellent talent evaluator.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:38 PM ^
OT? Or is this related to UM in some way?
January 24th, 2021 at 2:49 PM ^
Everything is going to be OT for the next two weeks. Fucking covid.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:39 PM ^
Again I say .... the Lions are acting like an NFL team. Scary.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:56 PM ^
Day 390 of 2020 and weird things that we have never seen continue to occur
January 24th, 2021 at 3:39 PM ^
And now Ray Agnew from LA is on board too. Strange things are afoot in Allen Park.
January 24th, 2021 at 4:38 PM ^
Why are all these guys coming to Detroit? Crazy! But good!
January 24th, 2021 at 3:42 PM ^
Chris Spielman is making all these decisions for Mrs. Ford!
January 24th, 2021 at 3:34 PM ^
Has has a history of finding QBs, which has become extremely important.
He traded up from No. 27 to No. 10 to take MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the 2017 NFL draft, and selected players like wide receiver Tyreek Hill, defensive lineman Chris Jones and running back Kareem Hunt.
In Cleveland, Dorsey took quarterback Baker Mayfield and cornerback Denzel Ward with top-five picks in 2018.
Before drafting Mahomes and Mayfield as GM, Dorsey was the director of college scouting when the Green Bay Packers took Aaron Rodgers with their first pick in the 2005 draft, and he signed Kurt Warner as an undrafted free agent.
January 24th, 2021 at 4:42 PM ^
So...this is good? Or will it ultimately not matter like seemingly everything else the lions do?
January 24th, 2021 at 5:23 PM ^
Only time will tell, but if you're going to start completely over, this week was probably the best way to do it, save the kneecap thing.
January 24th, 2021 at 5:38 PM ^
Who dis?
January 24th, 2021 at 5:43 PM ^
He did okay at Cleveland if not for the drama.
Player moves were much better than the previous administrations.
January 24th, 2021 at 9:11 PM ^
Don't look now,but Lions are making some good hires. It's almost like they have a plan. And by a plan I mean a plan that makes sense.
January 25th, 2021 at 10:54 AM ^
Ray Agnew (was Dir. of Pro Scouting for the Rams) is also coming over. The Lions are finally doing smart things. Hopefully they will rebuild their scouting department with outside talent as well. They do that, and then I'll be convinced they won't blow the Stafford situation.
