Detroit Lions Jake Fromm STEALS The SHOW Coming Out Of NOWHERE!

for the Detroit Lions third preseason game they were able to get the win against the Steelers and while that wasn't a surprise the play from Jake from definitely was and everybody's asking the same question where did he come from we're going to talk about it so stay tuned what are we what makes us what we are and what we're going to be it's grit it's what we started with last year guys doesn't matter if you have one ass cheek and three toes I will beat your ass can definitely compete with with the big dogs 10 five Ando touchdown Detroit Lions you guys you guys are unbelievable man I'm telling you we are driven by Detroit hello Detroit allons fans and welcome on back to yet another episode of MCM Motor City Mania I'm your host David T Pike and as always we're diving on in so my friends I decided to go back and forth with myself trying to decide if I wanted to do a live stream or if I wanted to do this kind of a recording and I ultimately decided that for the basis of the topic I was going to have for this episode it was probably better to do this Plus on top of that after being on live air for the last 3 hours I don't know if I could go another two hour long talking about the game so I figured better to do recordings and kind of space it out a little bit give myself a break but watching the game for the Steelers versus the Lions I'm going to say this right now overall the game was very up and down not only in terms of how players were playing but also in terms of how the game started to how it ended but I'm going to tell you this right now the way it ended was absolutely spectacular in the sense of we all got a surprise that we were not expecting in a multitude of ways let's understand something here folks the understanding was going into the game that pretty much hen and hooker was going to get all if not the majority of the Reps and that according to what Dan Campell had said is that we shouldn't expect this quarterback called Jake Fram to most likely step into the game because apparently according to everybody including Dan Campbell Nate sudfeld wasn't going to play and the reason why is well unfortunate to say it pretty much the way that it was being portrayed by the Lions is Nate sudfeld already secured the job as the number two quarterback and at this point it was just ten and hooker getting some reps so for Jake FR there really wasn't much of anything for him to do except to hey you know what if we put you in we put you in but I'm going to tell you this right now with the few reps that Jake FR had he made a damn big impression an absolutely humongous impression let's just call it for what it is here folks taking a look at what hen and hooker did I'm not going to include what happened over the first quarter and a half of the game because that was primarily against the Steelers starters that's not fair but even if you take that out and you take a look at what hen and hooker was doing against the backups let's call it for what it is Jake FR did a much better job overall moving the offense while he was in there I'm going to say this right now Jake fro actually looked like he knew what the hell he was doing because let's call it for what it is Jake FR was he was in the pocket he stood tall he delivered strikes all over the damn field like he was actually slinging it and the only thing I can say is that for him it's like hey I got nothing to lose I'm gonna go out here and I'm going to play the way I'm going to play and that's exactly what fram did he went out and he just let it rip and the guy finished if I recall correctly was 6 for8 and 84 yards I mean for crying out loud I think you know hooker ended 12 of 20 with 112 so it's like freaking Fram only played two drives and he pretty much almost had the same production that hooker had over the course of you know three quarters that's rather impressive now here's what makes this even more impressive for me when it comes to Fram Fram is a guy that I distinctly remember because back when it was on Netflix there was a show called qb1 Beyond the Lights and fr was in that show and the reason why I remember it is because from was considered in high school one of the best prospects that was coming into college he was considered one of those guys that really could be something however though when he got to college it wasn't that he was bad it wasn't even that he was you know decent he was just above average and when he was at georgo I was like hey he played pretty well but it wasn't enough to really become a topnotch prospect because if I recall correctly he was drafted in the fifth round by the Buffalo Bills and pretty much ever since then he been bouncing around the league from Team to team I know he's played for the Giants I know he's played for the bills I know he's played for the Washington commanders I mean he's played for quite a couple of teams now and so the fact that when I heard we signed Jake from I was like eh whatever it's not that big of a deal it's not that big of news however though after seeing what Jake FR did it's now like okay my eyebrow just popped up because now this is a much different kind of a story because it's like okay I know boy I know Lions fans right now they are for lack of a better word they are IR rate about the fact of Nate sudfeld being QB number two they can't understand it they don't want to understand it they absolutely detest that decision because in their eyes they see Nate sudfeld nothing more than a waste of space they think he's nothing more than a waste of a roster spot and he's not good enough to be the number two quarterback and I'm going to call it for what it is in my honest opinion he isn't but the only reason why he's there is because of the fact that he one has the veteran experience and two he has knowledge of the Playbook which is something that hooker does not have and it's something that nobody else on short notice is going to have however though the one thing that I don't think anybody was expecting was that Jake FR was going to come in and then all of a sudden he was going to have the performance that he had over the last two drives in fact I was actually kind of surprised that the Lions actually let him throw the ball I was thinking hey you know I was thinking hey you know what they're probably just going to go out and they're just going to be like hey let's run the clock out let's just do what we need to do and that' be the end of it but instead what they decide to do is they actually let him decide to throw the ball a little bit and I was like this is interesting and the fact that FR was completing passes and not just short little dink dunk passes he was actually throwing the ball over the middle throwing it in tight spaces putting it with pretty pretty good damn Precision placement I was like okay here this is something that is very intriguing because I know for I know for Lions fans right now the ones that absolutely detest Nate sudfeld the most they've already got this idea of replacing Nate sudfeld with Jake FR because they just do not not like Nate sudfeld that much they detest him but I'm S I hate to be a wet blanket in this episode but it's not going to happen folks as much as you know watching Jake from over the last you know two drives of the game was awesome to see and actually seeing a guy that was actually you know taking command of the offense like he was when nobody expected it that's the key word nobody expected it or key phrase pardon me the fact that we were able to see that that was awesome but that's not going to be enough folks for him to take Nate sudfeld job you have to understand something here The Way Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes are going to look at this roster they're going to be like hey man you went out there you had an awesome job but let's call for what it is Nate sudfeld is not going to get cut it's just not going to happen there's a reason why Dan Campbell said he had the upper hand there's a reason why the Lions did not let Nate sudfeld play they already knew that hey he's the number two quarterback the only reason why we're having this whole conversation right now is because hey hen and hooker needs reps that's why they didn't have Nate sudfeld play they wanted to get hen and hooker as much reps as they possibly could and when the game was pretty much you know in their eyes you know in a good position they thought that they had given hen and hooker enough reps they thought hey you know what he's done a pretty good job let's let this other guy go in there and kind of just finish out the game and I'm going to say this right now in my honest opinion I think more than anything the reason why the Lions put Jake from out there was because they wanted to get some film on him potentially for other teams to go after him because let's call it for what it is the only way the lions are going to keep Jake from at this point is of a practice squad spot that's it they're not going to keep him on the active roster most teams nowadays barely keep three quarterbacks they usually keep two and usually have a third one as the emergency quarterback because of the rule change but there's no way you're going to keep four it's just not going to happen and like I said it's also not going to happen that the lions are going to cut sudfeld to keep from that's not going to happen either and if it did happen I would be absolutely mind blown so for me it's like you know what I love what I saw out of FR and it was like I was not expecting that the fact that he had the command the Precision the I guess you could say the boldness if you will to go out there and say hey screw everybody's expectations I'm going out here and I'm playing my best ball game and I'm going to do what I know I can do that was something that really caught my attention because that's gritty to go out there and say hey screw what everybody thinks about me I'm going to go out here and I'm going to give my best performance and give something you know for people to talk about that's rather bold and that's a really good performance on his part because hey even though he's playing against backups they're still playing playing a football game and the fact that he's throwing to guys like you know Maurice Alexander and you know Kaden Davis Isaiah Williams all guys that are fighting to make the roster and the fact that he's making plays like that that deserves recognition and for me I like that I like talking about Jake from like this because it's like okay this guy has now caught my attention and he deserves to get more of it if nothing else I'm going to say this Jake from just pretty much put himself out on the map saying hey I can play in this league at least as a backup you have to at least give me a shot on that front the only reason why he's not going to get it here in Detroit is because we've already got two other guys and one of them sorry not even one of them both of them are not going to get cut at least not this year so again fram's only going to have a chance to be as a practice squad quarterback which I'll tell you this right now if he plays like what he did in practice like against the Steelers in the final two you know drives of the game we're going to have a pretty good practice squad quarterback that's going to be able to make our defense better however though Jake FR is limited and let's call it for what it is here Jake FR is a pocket passing quarterback nothing wrong with a pocket passing quarterback I love pocket pocket pocket passing quarterbacks the problem is is that our defense needs to be able to have a ability to also deal with more mobile quarterbacks because if there's one thing Lions fans have known over the last couple of years whenever we've played against mobile quarterbacks they usually have a decent amount of success against us so that would be something that would have to be put into consideration here but when I'm looking at Jake fromo I'm absolutely happy for him for what he was able to do with the Detroit Lions because now he's going to get another opportunity somewhere and that's going back to what Dan Campbell said he's like listen even if you guys don't find yourself onto our roster that doesn't mean you're not going to potentially get a job because all other 31 other teams are going to be taking a look at this film and they might like what they see and they might take give you a job so in the end the fact that Jake frown may or may not get onto this roster or may or may not get onto the practice squad for me is irrelevant the fact of the matter is is the young man went out there he had himself a real damn good game he showed that he can play and that I think deserves recognition and you know what the fact he did it for our Detroit line helped us get a win I'm absolutely ecstatic about and I think it's a great way to wrap up the preseason hey you know what here's a guy nobody was expecting to do anything he came out he showed what he had to do and he put a nice cherry on top of a nice good win against the Steelers nice way to wrap it up for my opinion but that's how I'm also going to wrap up this episode really quickly so I'm just going to say thank you all for watching another episode of MCM Motor City Mania if you like
