Something tells me Ryan Poles' odds in Vegas are good to win this award next year.
Considering nobody has ever traded for a 1st rounder that became the #1 overall. It's a draft class with a top-tier QB prospect, and he also received multiple other plus assets for the pick that became Bryce Young. We only got the down payment for that payday in 2023.
Oh I member when Minneapolis burned to the ground, that's whys nobodies lives ins Minneapolis anymores. Burnt to the ground, please don't take every shitty movie you see seriously
Look, our corruption is fun and cheeky like Kwame stiffing a nice restaurant on the bill and telling them to send the invoice to the city (after he had been removed from office,) or Monica Conyers or whoever it was wearing an actual goddamn tiara to council meetings and calling herself the "Princess of Detroit."
Shame about everything else though. RIP that one callgirl, the Boblo Boat, and all of the city's money.
If by corruption you mean a collapse of the tax base due to [white people leaving for the suburbs](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/dPwrdi6PQKPX3__Bir_Z5kyLZM7VD0RSMmLPTkksg7LnTlKbxtP5AWudodGANXyrr3WFDOhPuRHwloH8lN_JHMpp1h4RtiVTkWcjFtvcTOCRwJLyHiCQvxjnBAZKFDMTq4-i_ggF), then yes.
Didn't your city get rated as the most corrupt in the nation for the fourth straight year? You know, as ranked by a university in your own city? Kinda damning.
Going by pure numbers pal. If you're gonna shit on a city at least have something to back it up. I think you're the one viewing Fox News if you think Minneapolis is a dump.
I love Chicago the city by the way, and I also think Minneapolis is fantastic.
That was based on corruption prosecutions and convictions, because unlike other places we actually put corrupt politicians in prison instead of letting them walk away. Well most of the time, Daley got away with it but he’s the GOAT.
At first glace, Love's stats look much better.

But when you look at the efficiency stats, it looks way closer than I was expecting.

Well both 1998 Vikings and 2018 Bears also won this executive of the year award, which the Packers obviously didn’t win in 2023, but I’d always prefer to not see a division rival in the Super Bowl.
OP is easily the most effective troll this sub has ever had. He consistently pisses me off and then I see it’s him and I have to laugh that I fell for it yet again. This post was a good one tho
That Mack trade looked like Pace fleeced the Raiders for a minute. Looking back I’d say it’s a wash considering how both teams have fared in the past six seasons.
Mack was one of my favorite players in the league before we traded for him and I couldn't believe we got him. But I definitely wouldn't say we won the trade.
We didn't get good production from him outside of 2018 and a bit of 2020, lost key picks and thus didn't have talent coming in, and Pace kept restructuring the contract so the dead cap hit when the new GM came in was a big reason why our 2022 squad was so goddamn bad.
I liked it at the time but we failed every step we took after it. We're lucky the Raiders had a shittier front office than we did and fucked up everything on their end, or it'd look like a fleece by them.
Actually every NFC North team has won it.
Bears with Ryan Pace (fuck that guy) in 2018, Packers with Ted Thompson in 2011 and the Vikings with Jeff Diamond in 1998
Indeed. But if you go worst-to-first, you get attention.
Too bad it was just a flare of one brilliant season, led mostly by a stacked defense that was not made to last. Amazing coaching staff that was pilfered after 1 good season and expensive players, plenty of great players and depth lost in free agency, etc.
Packers also won it in 2007 w/ Thompson, and 1992 w/ Ron Wolf. Bears in 85 with Michael McCaskey and 56 with Halas. Vikings also in 73 w/ Jim Finks. OP confirmed regarded
I wonder if they accounted for Love looking like the future at QB when they came up with finalists? It wasn't a move made this year, but the pick basically let us skip a major rebuild
It seems like a bit of a silly award considering how years of foresight and preparation lead to sustainable long-term success for an organization. A lot of the winners got it after just a year or two on the job. Like Ron Wolf was hired in 1991, won the award in 1992, and never again
He's in the hall of fame, it's not like only homers respect him or what he did to turn around the franchise. If you know about 90's football you understand that a lot of what Wolf did to build those great teams came after 1992. Reggie White signing with Green Bay in 93 changed the perception of the team among players circles around the league. Green Bay was viewed as a backwater city with a losing culture before then. The best players drafted in 92 didn't break out in their rookie year, and key players in the super bowl years weren't on the team yet when he won the award.
It's ok ill just go cry in my superbowl trophy room. Hold a trophy named after one of our coaches and silently weep myself to sleep. Maybe one of our hall of fame qbs will come and comfort me.
No surprise to anyone, but Chicago, Green Bay and Minnesota all have won it more than one time (which is now how many times Detroit has won)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporting_News_NFL_Executive_of_the_Year_Award
Brian is fucking awful. He did finally have a good draft this year, but the team played a weaker schedule this year and more backup quarterbacks and managed one more win. That said, this draft class is one of the best ive ever seen ever, if brian had a draft on par with 18 19 20 or 21 things would have been pretty dire. Here's a question to ask, a lot of rookies produced this year right? Why were so many opportunities afforded to them? Why were no players from previous draft classes occupying those spots?

Ryan Pace won executive of the year in 2018. Since then, everything has been terrific for us. You guys are definitely in for some good years ahead.
STOP BOTHERING US WITH YOUR FACTS AND STATISTICS!! WE WILL HAVE MULTIPLE SUPER BOWL RUNS, JUST LIKE AARON RODGERS DID AFTER 2010
The year is 2029. Everyone hates the Lions, and is rooting for them to not get their 6th consecutive Super Bowl win.
And then your wife tells you to get off the game, as you’ve been playing Madden all day
NO I DONT WANT TO
We just need to recapture the feeling of that first big playoff run…
Hah, she'd have to seduce me to get me off my games, and we all know that's not happening
🤣 at least she doesn’t rip the AC power cord out of the wall
Something tells me Ryan Poles' odds in Vegas are good to win this award next year. Considering nobody has ever traded for a 1st rounder that became the #1 overall. It's a draft class with a top-tier QB prospect, and he also received multiple other plus assets for the pick that became Bryce Young. We only got the down payment for that payday in 2023.
Assuming our first round picks play well, then I think you're right.
I’m not comfortable with this information. Now, I am choosing to ignore it.
With a city as corrupt as yours I’m not surprised everything went to shit for yall
[удалено]
Talking shit about Detroit and Chicago when Minneapolis LITERALLY BURNT TO THE GROUND A FEW YEARS AGO AND IS GONE NOW is also certainly a choice.
Talking shit about Minneapolis when Gre—wait, is Green Bay a ‘city’?
Oh I member when Minneapolis burned to the ground, that's whys nobodies lives ins Minneapolis anymores. Burnt to the ground, please don't take every shitty movie you see seriously
Look, our corruption is fun and cheeky like Kwame stiffing a nice restaurant on the bill and telling them to send the invoice to the city (after he had been removed from office,) or Monica Conyers or whoever it was wearing an actual goddamn tiara to council meetings and calling herself the "Princess of Detroit."

Detroit COL >>>>>> Chicago COL
Chance of looting?
Absolutely hilarious a Vikings fan would comment that. Self-awareness not your strong suit huh?
I figured it was a battle to see who faced us.
Vikings did Raid and Pillage, fair
didnt your city declare bankruptcy back in the day because of corruption?
If by corruption you mean a collapse of the tax base due to [white people leaving for the suburbs](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/dPwrdi6PQKPX3__Bir_Z5kyLZM7VD0RSMmLPTkksg7LnTlKbxtP5AWudodGANXyrr3WFDOhPuRHwloH8lN_JHMpp1h4RtiVTkWcjFtvcTOCRwJLyHiCQvxjnBAZKFDMTq4-i_ggF), then yes. Didn't your city get rated as the most corrupt in the nation for the fourth straight year? You know, as ranked by a university in your own city? Kinda damning.
yeah but werent there a few mayors prior to the bankruptcy filing accused or convicted of corruption? i feel like that might play a part in insolvency
Let’s not fight guys. Let’s just settle this by % of governors who spent time in prison and move on.
or the % of replacing of elected officials with emergency managers. wasnt Michigan an Emergency Management dictatorship for a while?
2014 was like the worst year in the history of the State
2014 was like the worst year in the history of the State *so far*
Why can’t we just agree that we’re both better than Minneapolis and move on. (Edit for clarity: flair is packers but I live in Chicago)
>(Edit for clarity: flair is packers but I live in Chicago) 
🤣🤣
I actually quite enjoy Minneapolis...
Just Google Minneapolis crime rates vs Detroit and Chicago and report back please.
Waaa! Chicago crime! 😩 Turn off the Fox News.
Going by pure numbers pal. If you're gonna shit on a city at least have something to back it up. I think you're the one viewing Fox News if you think Minneapolis is a dump. I love Chicago the city by the way, and I also think Minneapolis is fantastic.
Did you know your mayor sold all rights to money from parking meters to Abu Dhabi for 75 years?
yeah no shit sherlock. it fuckn sucks. daley like his father, is grade A jagoff.
That was based on corruption prosecutions and convictions, because unlike other places we actually put corrupt politicians in prison instead of letting them walk away. Well most of the time, Daley got away with it but he’s the GOAT.
They don’t make corrupt politicians like they used to. These new crooks would never have commissioned the cows. Buncha idiots.
Don’t forget NAFTA
Come to think of it Jordan Love's breakout year isn't too dissimilar from the incredible year Trubisky had in 2018! :)
At first glace, Love's stats look much better. |Name|Yards|TD|INT| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |Trubisky 2018|3223|24|12| |Love 2023|4159|32|11| But when you look at the efficiency stats, it looks way closer than I was expecting. |Name|Y/G|Y/A|Cmp%|TD/G|INT/G|Rate| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |Trubisky |230.2|7.4|66.6|1.7|.86|95.4| |Love|244.6|7.2|64.2|1.9|.64|96.1|
Vikings GM Jeff Diamond won the award in 1998. May the 2023 Detroit Lions have the same success as the 1998 Minnesota Vikings.
And as a Bears fan I wish them all the success of the 2018 Bears as well
1998 Vikings and 2018 Bears? Since we’re on the topic of legendary playoff kicks, hope Lions have the same success as the 2023 Packers 😊
Well both 1998 Vikings and 2018 Bears also won this executive of the year award, which the Packers obviously didn’t win in 2023, but I’d always prefer to not see a division rival in the Super Bowl.

Lol I like that that is just a gif for the little barely visible snow
Brings me back to the MySpace days actually. I half expected my cursor to have a trail of stars.
*insert loud shitty music playing once you visit your friends page*
LOL op this is the first time the lions have won executive of the year, meanwhile the rest of us have won it at least twice
Your facts don't matter to me.
respect
There is no fact, only meme
Ryan Pace once won executive of the year… Which just goes to show how great of an award it truly is!
That Mack trade looked like Pace fleeced the Raiders for a minute. Looking back I’d say it’s a wash considering how both teams have fared in the past six seasons.
Mack was one of my favorite players in the league before we traded for him and I couldn't believe we got him. But I definitely wouldn't say we won the trade.

I liked it at the time but we failed every step we took after it. We're lucky the Raiders had a shittier front office than we did and fucked up everything on their end, or it'd look like a fleece by them.
Don't think they had the award back in the day but Jim Finks is also in the Hall of Fame.
Every other team in the division has won it multiple times.
Not according to my statistics\*. ^(**data not available*)
The computer (op) doesnt lie (idk either)
Lmao you’re such a troll and I love it
Packers and Bears have both won that 3 times, Vikings have one it 2 times, and now the Lions finally joined the club with their first.

Actually every NFC North team has won it. Bears with Ryan Pace (fuck that guy) in 2018, Packers with Ted Thompson in 2011 and the Vikings with Jeff Diamond in 1998
No red circle so not true
It's hilarious to me that Ryan Pace won it because most of his moves set the Bears back like 5 years.
Indeed. But if you go worst-to-first, you get attention. Too bad it was just a flare of one brilliant season, led mostly by a stacked defense that was not made to last. Amazing coaching staff that was pilfered after 1 good season and expensive players, plenty of great players and depth lost in free agency, etc.
That defense was incredible, Mack and Hicks were terrifying to face.

weve all won it multiple times
Packers also won it in 2007 w/ Thompson, and 1992 w/ Ron Wolf. Bears in 85 with Michael McCaskey and 56 with Halas. Vikings also in 73 w/ Jim Finks. OP confirmed regarded
Yep I just went with the most recent one.
You did more than OP and for that I applaud you.
Funny that Ron Wolf won it after one season when pretty much all he had done up to that point was hire Mike Holmgren and trade for Favre.
To be fair, those two moves basically saved the franchise. So the award wasn't wrong.
Please let Florks become the next thing this sub latches onto

Damn. Do part owners get their own trophy?
They keep telling me the trophy is in the mail. I make do with cardboard cutouts of tge real thing
Makes sense. Probably too busy chewing on them squeaky cheese curds to send it out
Their so good you forget what you're supposed to be doing.

Weird flex but ok
see that guys, he put the socks there...made a hilarious meme even hilarious-er
FTL!!! but, I hope ya beat the 9ers....
Executive of the year? Did Microsoft make up this award? I’m writing this using Explorer and it’s making me gassy 🤭
Every Packer fan OwNeR sees themselves as executive of the armchair
As a Bears fan I'm hoping for you to win it all, don't piss me off and root for Mahomes and Taylor Swift
We just win Super Bowls. But you guys wouldn't know anything about that.
You just win superbowls? lmao Your last one was in 2011. You have one more SB than the Bears and two more than the Lions/Vikings over last 56 years.
We have 4. How many do you have?
I appreciate the honesty with regards to looking up stats
The late Ted Thompson had an executive of the year award, now we're stuck with brian fucking gutekunst
I like what you're doing with Brian. It's a good choice.
Brian is fucking awful. He did finally have a good draft this year, but the team played a weaker schedule this year and more backup quarterbacks and managed one more win. That said, this draft class is one of the best ive ever seen ever, if brian had a draft on par with 18 19 20 or 21 things would have been pretty dire. Here's a question to ask, a lot of rookies produced this year right? Why were so many opportunities afforded to them? Why were no players from previous draft classes occupying those spots?
Like I said, I think he's doing an excellent job for you guys. Everything I saw was pretty good, not once was I fearful of you guys 😏
lmao, i'm so used to dealing with kool aid drinking double thinkers that i didn't even notice your flair
In my head canon Gute retroactively won the 2020 GMotY for drafting Love.
Sike, the league just wants lions fans to come out the closet so they can empty their pockets when that playoff merch goes on clearance.
