Former Lions QB Scott Mitchell upset at portrayal in new Barry Sanders documentary: ‘F— you all!’

“Bye Bye Barry,” a documentary launched Tuesday on Amazon that dives into the storied occupation of mythical Detroit Lions working again Barry Sanders, is going throughout the former NFL famous person’s 10 seasons with the staff, main as much as his retirement. Lions enthusiasts are positive to benefit from the movie, however one former participant isn’t somewhat partial to the paintings. 

Former Lions quarterback Scott Mitchell is sad with how he is portrayed, and felt he will have to no longer had been singled out for the franchise by no means attaining the Super Bowl throughout the Sanders years.

“I’m so bored with listening to how I used to be the rationale that Barry Sanders by no means gained a Super Bowl,” Mitchell wrote on Facebook, by way of the Detroit News. “I’m so tired of hearing how I was not a good QB. My only response is F–K YOU ALL!!!!! That includes Eminem [and] Jeff Daniels.”

He obviously didn’t hang again. 

Mitchell performed for the Lions from 1994 to 1998. Sanders used to be with the Lions from 1989 to 1998. During his time with the Lions, Mitchell went 27-30, with a 56.7 of completion proportion, 12,647 yards, 79 touchdowns and 57 interceptions.

In the documentary, there have been many of us, together with former Lions head trainer Wayne Fontes, who mentioned Sanders may have introduced the staff a championship, if it wasn’t for the quarterbacks preserving him again. Fontes mentioned if the staff had the danger to signal a pair famous person quarterbacks past due in their careers, they’d have a special end result. 

This didn’t sit down smartly with Mitchell. 

“I can’t even began [sic] to tell you what a disappointment it is to [hear] my own coach, Wayne Fontes, who went out in free agency and actively [pursued] me to the point of begging me to come to Detroit, say that he wanted Joe Montana or Warren Moon, and that the only thing that was missing from the team winning the Super Bowl used to be a quarterback,” Mitchell mentioned in his post. “A little support from the coach might have gone a long way. Wayne never had my back!”

Mitchell, in truth, went as far as to mention Sanders will have to be integrated in avid gamers responsible for the Lions no longer successful all of it.

“Bottom line, Barry Sanders had everything in Detroit,” Mitchell wrote. “Everyone loved him. Everything was built for Barry to succeed. In his 10-year career he won one playoff game and the only reason he didn’t win more was everyone else was the problem? How many yards did Barry have in the playoffs in ’94, ’95, ’97? I’ll give you a hint not very many. We all are to blame for not winning a [Super Bowl] in Detroit even Barry Sanders.”

In his two playoff video games with the Lions, Mitchell went 0-2 with a 42.6 of completion proportion, one landing and 5 interceptions. In the ones video games, he had a 23.1 quarterback score, in line with Pro Football Reference.  

Sanders seemed in six playoff video games in his occupation, topping 100 yards as soon as (169) in a wild card loss to the Packers in 1993.
