In my Madden Superstar mode I got drafted by the Lions, it was rather depressing. On the good side, I was starting as a rookie at the QB position. I had a 87 OVR while Kitna had a 83, lol. Poor poor Lions.

as a broncos fan, i liked the trade a lot. tatum can break huge runs at any time but he's fumbled too many times in key situations.

As a lifelong Lions fan I don't know how to feel about this trade. Bly was our shut down corner, and I know Kevin Jones can't really be happy with this trade.

Actually, I don't like this, our defense just got significantly weaker. And I don't want Brady Quinn on this team.

i dont know what to say, giving up an excellent player on defence in exchange with a great running back sounds good but may hurt us defensively, just hope we pick a good QB and don't screw up in the draft like always.

If the Lions pick Quinn then you can expect a lot more losing in Detroit in the near future...

So I guess they really like Mike Bell in Denver.  I wasn't really that sold on him, guess Denver thought otherwise.

See, I don't want Quinn either but with Detroit getting an OT, it seems like they won't need Joe Thomas at the #2 pick now.  Ugh, I have a bad feeling about them ..........again........like always. :( :(

At least Jamarcus won a bowl game, all Quinn ever did in bowl games was watch his team get pounded.

MikeE21286
they're not. most likely they'll sign a free agent, like jamal lewis, or try to trade for someone like thomas jones, who the bears are willing to part with. either way, tatum fumbled way too much in key situations. he cost the broncos at least 2 games that i can think of last season.

there's a reason notre dame hasn't won a bowl game in a decade. they always are overrated and get selected to better bowl games than they should because they bring a lot of fans. but that's a discussion for another thread.

Wow... When your team's offense plays the Broncos, you'll be looking at Champ Bailey at one side and Dre Bly at the other. That ain't bad.

make no mistake about it, the broncos got the better end of this deal. they get a pro-bowl calliber corner for a running back who wasn't going to be a starter and is easily replaced, especially in denver, and another guy who was going to be cut. thank you matt millen.

pfff, a declining pro bowl caliber corner.  Tatum Bell is a rising star, he's had a 900 yard season and a 1000 yard season while splitting time with another back.  you don't know what you are talking about.  and a speedy back such as this is just what martz needed to jump start his offense.

So you think George Foster is going to fix all of Detroits o line problems? Joe Thomas is a good pick for Detroit.

Here's to hoping that shannahan finally ends this stupid running back committee for fellow fantasy owners. He's a fantasy killer. But knowing him he'll probably just pick up Maurice Clarett again and he'll become the other third of the starting running back

I agree, the article said that Bly didn't fit in with the defensive scheme. Tatum Bell never really got a fair chance to start in Denver. I never thought that Millen would make a good decision, but he finally has.

Tatum Bell is gone from the Broncos!! :cry: But the good news is that my Broncs now have Dre Bly, and along with Champ Bailey, Denver will have the most nightmarish cornerback tandum (I don't mean nightmarish as in horribly bad, but mean like incredibly scary/good) in many years....I'm excited for next season to come. :twisted:

Denver's secondary was fine before the trade. THeir problem's last year stem from the lack of any pass rush. Bly isnt much of an upgrade over Darrent WIlliams, if any.

i know of very few broncos fans who are sad to see tatum go. he has great speed, which should be even better since he'll be playing on turf, but he fumbles in key situations. just listen to any sports talk show here in denver and you'll know that most people absolutely loved the trade. it upgrades the secondary immensly, as foxworth now can stay the nickle corner and doesn't have to start. and the lack of any pass rush is still their biggest problem. they got wilkinson, but i don't think he'll be that much of a factor. hopefully they can land patrick kerney, who was in denver on friday, or draft someone.

Broncos might actually be a threat to my Chargers.... oh wait, nevermind
