Matthew Stafford is named starter for Lions

So most of us Lion's fans were expecting Cullpepper to get the nod.

I think this year is going to look steeler like were there is commentment to the run and he throws maybe 15 time a game. I think Daunte looked really good in the preseason and he might be a commodity that they can trade.

Whats your prediction for the new QB?

Should we all start playing "Taps" now?

He'll have a good game maybe, then struggle. But it is worth playing him rather than Culpepper. Culpepper is garbage.duxup

If you watched any preseason games you would know that is not true. I'm not saying that he's top 10, but he's definitely better than a lot of starters out there. I think a team like Washington could use a solid QB.

Well, didn't he get the nod only because of Culpepper's injury? [QUOTE="DaBrainz"]

Nah, he got a small cut on top of his big toe 2 weeks ago. He's able to play.

And a 1...2...3...

*plays taps*

Poor, poor Joey Harringt... I mean Mathew Stafford.

This is pathetic. Tossing Stafford out there to sell tickets, lame. Schwartz is a fool.

Heh. I'm surprised Culpepper has any supporters left. I think its pretty clear at this point that's he's nothing without Cris Carter and Randy Moss to throw to. Still, he ought to be the starter. There is no point in throwing Stafford to the wolves right now. Detroit is still rebuilding and will be for quite some time.

Mark my words. Daunte is back. Don't get me wrong, I always thought he was overrated, he never was a top ten QB, but he has slimmed down and has his escapability back. He could slip into a good team that needs a QB and take them to the superbowl. Just look at all the starters in the NFL right now. I would take Cullpepper over at least ten of them without having to think about it.

I hate this move, too much risk for zero reward. They should start Culpepper for the first 4-8 games and ease Stafford into the starting job.

[QUOTE="duxup"] Preseason? Well if another team needs some guy who can win some preseason games, and then stink it up in the regular season they should pick him up ASAP.duxup

Not sure what your arguing, but Carter and Smith were long gone when daunte threw for 36 TD (people seem to forget because of that's the year Payton went crazy) and moss only caught 13 TD that year, the only thing he did was keep defenses honest. So your saying he's complete garbage. Is germaine wiggins a HoFer? Did I miss that memo?

I didn't even know that Culpepper was still playing

Hes got potential to be great. I will be interested to see how he does this year.

Terrible idea. I don't doubt Stafford, but he is going to get crushed game-to-game due to a seriously lacking O-line.

Drew Stanton should be starting QB :P

(Actually in all seriousness..I wouldnt mind seeing him get more time.)
