I like this signing for the simple reason that he will bring with him an expectation of winning which can help the culture change this team needs.

I suspect he may share some of ideas about how Detroit raises their level of play and the certain things they do to beat teams. I am particularly happy that we have slowly gotten rid of "lazy, non-impact" players. The idea of adding smart and skilled players may bring this team together with a purpose other than playing for the paycheck. We just haven't had the kinds of players that can (or want to) elevate their games. JBow is a prime example as he seems more about his iron man streak than playing with a tough, physical edge.
