Comments on: Lions Sign RB Dorsey, Possibly Working Out WR Donte Stallworth, and Mike Mayock http://www.detroitlionsblog.com/wp/archives/2010/02/10/lions-sign-rb-dorsey-possibly-working-out-wr-donte-stallworth-and-mike-mayock/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:37:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Steve http://www.detroitlionsblog.com/wp/archives/2010/02/10/lions-sign-rb-dorsey-possibly-working-out-wr-donte-stallworth-and-mike-mayock/comment-page-1/#comment-83655 Steve Thu, 11 Feb 2010 18:06:56 +0000 http://www.detroitlionsblog.com/wp/?p=3455#comment-83655 In regards to DeAnte's article, I think that Stallworth will provide the Lions with too tantalizing of an option to pass upon, if he shows that he has any gas left in the tank at all, during his workout tomorrow. Personally, I think that this signing(if it happens?) will be highly dubious, without even considering his vast history of off-the-field issues. Stallworth is exactly the kind of underperformer whom the Lions too often become enraptured with as a quick fix for a losing team. He doesn't strike me as a player who will provide them with a high return upon a limited investment, but the Lions will not be able to resist trying to find out. Guaranteed. Stallworth is a career underperformer, who has had a decent season or two, but has never lived up to his former first round billing, nor to his relative name recognition, compared to his minimal output. Stallworth would likely be better than Bryant Johnson, Dennis Northcutt, and Derrick Williams were last year, but...So F'N What?!? The Lions can find a cheaper, more reliable option via the draft or free agency. Mark my words, if the Lions sign Stallworth, by this time next year we will all be talking about him with the same contempt as that we direct at players like Az Zahir Hakim, Daunte Culpepper, Pat Swilling, Damien Woody and Leigh Bodden, et al, regarding their incredible suckitude as Lions players...
