    ESPN's NFL reporter Adam Schefter is reporting on his Twitter account that Lions head coach Jim Schwartz has named rookie Matthew Stafford the team's starting quarterback. Stafford, the top overall pick in April's draft, beat out veteran Daunte Culpepper for the job. Stafford has made impressive throws but also threw an interception in each of his four exhibition games.

    Had Culpepper not been hurt, I think he would have started just to see how the line plays. I'm still worried about this move but what choice is there.

    I think this is a bad idea, Vikings and Redskins will probably kill him

    DoubleC i'm ready now...

    Did he really beat out Culpepper or is he just given the starting job because of his draft status (Hello Alex Smith)? :dunno:

    SweetShot03 Fuck stupid people

    As much as the lions need a stronger QB I dont agree with the decision to make stafford the starting QB... let him learn from the veteran culpepper who back in his day was a great QB..........
