Let's say he wants everyone to believe we may take Stafford, but really is just trying to increase the trade value of the pick. He couls already believe Stanton IS our future QB, he's going to keep saying the opposite upto the draft.

The few glimpses he's shown have been excellent but they have been short and interrupted. Part of that reason is the lions front line. Culpepper is NOT the answer.

I mean for Christ's sake we were 0-16 last year. I'm fine going into the season with Stanton backing up Culpepper. Why even waste money on another backup? Stanton is good enough as a #2 on a team coming off a 0 win season.<BR/><BR/>Draft Raji, Smith, or Curry, then based on that take one of those same positions at 20 (or a CB). Then continue doing that all the way down the board. NO QB! Pick one of those next year when the class coming out will be much deeper. I have to assume we will have a top 15 pick in the 2010 draft.Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973252588374327462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-37200999887741803732009-03-27T13:18:00.000-04:002009-03-27T13:18:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973252588374327462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-66128057781690682852009-03-27T09:19:00.000-04:002009-03-27T09:19:00.000-04:00That's why I was a proponent of playing Stanton la...That's why I was a proponent of playing Stanton last year, to give him a shot and see what he's got. There was no rush to sign Culpepper. They could have done so late in the season or this offseason, or they could have added Leftwich or Losman instead.<BR/><BR/>If the Lions draft Stafford or Sanchez or Freeman, Stanton falls to third in the pecking order, with Culpepper the veteran fill-in and the rookie the quarterback of the future. If they draft a QB late, the Lions will add a second vet as insurance for Culpepper, thus making Stanton, the rookie and you can include Drew Henson battle it out for No. 3.<BR/><BR/>Stanton needs a change of scenery to get his shot, but he has limited trade value right now and the longer he sits on the roster the lower his value sinks. It's up to his agent to broker a way out.Paula Paschehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351975379759661261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-50588706693416289492009-03-27T00:10:00.000-04:002009-03-27T00:10:00.000-04:00hope you're wrong dave, but stanton's facing an up...hope you're wrong dave, but stanton's facing an uphill battle unfortunately .. really want him to show what he's got and find a way to be on the team when the season starts. he deserves that much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-16607000112091586902009-03-26T23:09:00.000-04:002009-03-26T23:09:00.000-04:00Hey Dave,Do you think they might end up dealing St...Hey Dave,<BR/><BR/>Do you think they might end up dealing Stanton on draft day?

If that is startig with a "clean slate" then it isn't about Stanton's skills, it's about wiping clean the last vestiges of the Millen era at a critical position such as QB.<BR/>I would like to think the Lions will be more fair than that, and that Stanton will at least get his shot to prove he is a viable No. 2, at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
