He'd be replacing Brockers who hasn't played anywhere close to the level Suh has in his worst season.

He'd only make Donald and Quinn better as well. You can't double everybody!

Brockers may not get stats, but he's a key piece of that line.

I know you've been pounding the table for Suh, but I really REALLY can't see it happening even without Suh's class issues. And it would be a mistake if it did happen. Spending the FA money at positions that need the help will win us more games.

Detroit: thugs, homeless, crackheads, and Suh.

Honestly, I don't see any way that it'd make sense financially, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think he'd be a huge improvement over Brockers (who I do like).

That Detroit/GB rivalry is filled with dirt on both sides. Folks want to point out Suh stomping on GB center Dietrich-Smith, but they conveniently leave out that Dietrich-Smith was blocking down on Suh after the whistle in such a fashion that he was clearly trying to injure Suh and could have broken his back. Short of blatant shots at a lineman's knees, it was the most disgustingly blatant and obvious attempt to injure a player I'd ever seen.

Frankly, I think a lot of OL are dirty and get away with far too much. Doesn't excuse Suh, btw.

I just wanted to add that bit of context because anyone thinking this is all Suh and he's just this bad guy and GB is pure as the driven snow just doesn't know.

Seems clear to me it was intentional. If you look you can see when he stepped on his ankle that he took his other foot off the ground which put more weight on the ankle. If you accidentally do that, you look back to see what you stood on. You don't walk away like nothing happened.

That was a vicious counter punch Rodgers threw at Suh's buttock.

An improvement? Yes. A huge improvement that would justify either putting Brockers on the bench or trading him away? No.

Suh has the stats, but that's not the whole story of a player.
