Top 5 keepers?

[Heinegrabber]

The problem with who to keep is that you really don't know what potential you have. This regime does a horrible job at developing players.

Bobby Carpenter is the latest former Fin to have picked up his game and produce elsewhere. Let that sink in a minute.

We do suck at bring the best out of our players but Carpenters rise to being average at best is directly related to the presence of SUH and the rest of the DL.

Yup. You nailed it.

That entire D-line in Detroit is NASTY ! They mask Carpenter's deficiencies as O-line's aren't worried about Carpenter and they're not trying to block him in their schemes. O-line's are worried about the great penetration from that Lions defensive line and they game-plan for them, not for Bobby f*ckin Carpenter. This allows him free reigns to run anywhere unblocked.

Carpenter still sucks dog poo. He's just in the most favorable spot in the NFL right now playing behind that Lions D-line.
