The Lions have had no luck with drafted quarterbacks OR free agent quarterbacks. So, if they're going to stay away from what hasn't worked in the past, they're only option is to play without a quarterback. I do agree that the Lions are probably among the worst teams in the league at developing a quarterback so it's entirely possible that Vince Young could thrive anywhere but Detroit. If that's the case, I feel bad for Vince. But, the Lions still have to pretend that they are a competent franchise that's able to develop a quarterback. Also, I would be much more excited about the "potential" of Vince Young over someone like Billy Volek. As we all know, what matters with the Lions is "potential" since nobody actually ever becomes good. At least Vince Young would give us that short-term burst of enthusiasm.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-1134607009787112082005-12-14T19:36:00.000-05:002005-12-14T19:36:00.000-05:00jason - Scott.

After watching sunday's game I think you have the coaching staff on board with your plan, that play calling seriously makes you wonder if they are not trying to lose. My concern is this, how may qb's have we drafted over the years (ware, peete, batch, harrington) that we have never been able to develop? I think this team will screw up Leinart or Young. I personally would be more excited about getting a guy who is 3 years in and has shown some promise, mabe even a back up like Volek at Tenn or Garard with Jacksonville.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-1134486148612231302005-12-13T10:02:00.000-05:002005-12-13T10:02:00.000-05:00Matt S,The Lions strength of schedule will only in...Matt S,<BR/><BR/>The Lions strength of schedule will only increase slightly. The combined record of the last three opponents is 21-18. Tennessee's remaining opponent's record is 26-13. Buffalo's is 23-16. It's going to be very close. This is all moot though since it all comes down to the New Orleans game. If the Lions win that game, they're done and maybe out of the top ten. If they lose, they should be no worse than 5th.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous #2, Young might not go pro but I have to think he will. I heard yesterday that he was starting to look at agents. College players almost always say they're staying in school whenever they're asked. Most top ten picks actually end up staying. If he stays in school, the Lions will be out of the running for a quarterback. But, this draft is extremely deep on linebackers. The Lions might have a shot at A.J Hawk or another top LB. We all know the Lions haven't had a strong linebacker crops in a long, long time. To be honest, the Lions need help EVERYWHERE so they can't go wrong as long as they don't pick Santanio Holems.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Go Lions!

The playcalling in the red-zone was a total joke, and the QB sneak by Garcia on 4th down was the epitome of it all. My favorite was Paul Maguire's call on ESPN..."HORRIBLE CALL...THEY CALLED TIMEOUT TO SET THAT UP?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
