@Hey man im josh: I think the IP may be right, and that the IP might have discovered an embarrassing PFR error. According to Pro Football Archives his games played were with the Chiefs and his Transaction Log shows no mention of the Lions. A Newspapers.com search shows him being signed to the Chiefs active roster at around the same time PFR asserts he was on the Lions ([1]) and I can't find any other mention of him being on the Lions. Furthermore, this source which gives a summary of his career only mentions him being on the Chiefs. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@BeanieFan11: I wish there was more added to the reliable sources page. In this case, it's tough because the IP is awful at communicating and doesn't add sources. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:52, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Hey man im josh: Reliable sources page? Its true that the IP rarely communicates, but it seems to me there's usually a valid reason (for the edits) and the data can be found through PFA and/or PFR. In this case, can you find anything besides PFR verifying that he was a Lion? I'm thinking its an error. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:06, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@BeanieFan11: I'm annoyed at the last of historical data for the NFL, it's been a plight I've been dealing with in the featured lists I've been working on. I'm just annoyed about that and the lack of communication from people changing info (the IP). To be honest I don't have time to tackle it right now, but so long as you're willing to reach out to PFR to correct the mistake (which I imagine you have experience in, like I do), then I suppose I don't have a good reason to object. I trust your research (since you do communicate and provide sources). Hey man im josh (talk) 16:16, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
