Losing

I started to post on this site yesterday about Raiola jumping to the kid quarterback's defense with the fans, but I decided the whole fan versus player interaction gets too much pub. Anyway, after reading SPLF's post, I got to wondering, what player(S) has the worst won / lost record with at least eight years in the league? Archie Manning in the 70's has to be up there, but I'm guessing JB and DR are in the top 10.

Yeah, I can't imagine anybody's got them beat. This stretch since 2001 is the worst in the NFL since World War II.

Mike, when the Lions lose they make sure they do it the right way. I do not think there has been another team that has been blown out more times in a season than the Lions. Thank God they do not play New England. With that being said what positions do you think the Lions will try to address in the draft? How is it that the Packers, who were not supposed to have much this year, manage to be one of the best teams and the Lions never live up to or exceed expectations? I used to hope that I would live long enough to see the Lions win a Super Bowl. Now I hope I live long enough to see them go above 500.
