Thing is, if you are a great player, top 10...you're gonna go to a shitty team more often than not. Poor guy.

And there are far worse places this guy could be. How would you like to go to the Texans and their clown show of front office guys and old fart 1-year rental head coaches? To play for an owner that cares more about the last time you prayed instead of the last time you studied your play book? Or how about playing for a jackass like Urban Meyer?
And sure... I'll go ahead and say it-- how about Bill Belichick, who will neuter your talents as a receiver and make the hard work it takes to be great be even less fun than it has to be? A control freak with no checks on his ego within the organization? And even when you keep your mouth shut, work your tail off, and earn all the praise and respect as a top WR in the NFL, the dude won't even think twice about not paying you what you're worth.
Detroit DOES have stability. Its only problem is it's starting from the ground floor. They do apparently have a coach who leads and will get players to do their absolute best, though. If they do eventually accumulate some talent (and perhaps a real QB) that could actually be a really nice desirable team to be a part of.
Basically, just because a team is a historical loser doesn't mean it has to be a loser of the future. Mahomes took KC's historical demons with choking in the playoffs and kicked them square in the balls. Williams is going to have more to work with than Calvin or Barry did when they first became Detroit Lions. Don't whine. Get to work and be a part of the solution.
10 years from now if it's looking you're going to have a Joe Thomas type of career, THAT'S when we'll start feeling sorry for you.
