He had a bad half of a quarter… Does he really need to be benched because of that? I mean, green bay knew he was going to pass, played all the lanes and he was trying to force the ball.

The worse play he made was the first pick where he under threw Johnson straight into woodsons chest. Other than that he played OK, just like he played just OK in the Atlanta game.

 Now, lets also not forget how lackluster (at best) orlovsky looked in the pre-season. So he really isn’t the answer, nor is he a better option than kitna by any stretch of the imagination.
 
 Stanton, when healthy, looked good… really good. Yet again, preseason only though, everybody knows (or atleast knows by now) that there is a huge difference between the preseason and the regular season. I do believe that stanton will be starting by the end of the season though, and that he is going to be impressive but will make some mistakes and we will go through some growing pains.

Kitna is an absolute terrible decision maker. Most of his throws are late or low and he is just a flat out bad quarterback for this team and just about any other. Stanton needs to take this job over once healthy without a doubt. This season is over already, regardless of how sad it is to say that. You may think I’m not a devoted fan, but you just don’t know me. I am one of the biggest fans out there. But with the worst defense I have ever seen in my life and with a pathetic quarterback, this team does not stand a chance. And it all starts from the top. But we all know, this is Detroit and nothing is going to change.

Stanton will have his time, it is just not YET. I disagree with another post that the year is over, 2 games does not make a year. We do have to begin looking forward in the organization though, if it comes to the point we have “no chance” in a succesful season and Stanton is healthy, we should get him used to game speed with “scrub duty”.

The “blame” is being put on Kitna, and I really do not understand that when,in both games the defense “spotted” the oposition 21 points, what choice does that leave any offense but to throw the ball?

Lets face it, Green Bay got off to a good start, but thats not going to last,they have played 2 teams that are now 0-2, division ways, they are okay, but I still believe 9 wins will take the division and we arent near the point of mathematical elimination.

I will agree to the same post that it all starts at the top, and ..well… the Fords are the Fords, player,sports anchor….GM? Hmmmm AMAZING STUFF!

So, Stanton? next year….orsolovsky….could we get a 3rd round pick for this guy and move on?

Kitna is fine for the rest of this season as far as i am concerned. I would not like to see Dan Orlovsky starting, maybe Stanton. If perhaps the scenario came up where kitna gets injured, I would feel comfortable and even a little excited to see Drew Stanton do work.

I dont ever seem to see Kitna play well in the redzone unless he is in some sort of rhythm. It was really nice seeing the versatility of Stanton’s speed when the lions were in the redzone, he was mobile and scored. He threw a very accurate long TD pass. I’m sure he can make it look even easier when he has two beasts on the field like CJ and RW. Not to mention how much they stretch the feild to open up options for some QB rushing gains.

For now i would stay with kitna, experience, maybe keep any chemistry they have. QB competition is the last thing this team needs right now. They just need to learn to play 60 minutes, dont celebrate until the end, roy williams catch the damn ball, and TACKLE.

I voted for Kitna to be benched. But, not yet. Is Stanton the answer? I don’t know. What I do know is that I don’t ever want to have to see that again as a fan (after following the Lions since 1991, never seen anything like it). Maybe Orlovsky and Stanton aren’t the only options. Free agency pickup? Who knows. I love Kitna as a human being, but he is the worst QB I’ve ever seen in the clutch. And apparently since we will be playing from behind 99% of the year, he is NOT the answer. So, bench Kitna. But, if they do, I have no idea in hell what they would do for an alternative.

I think that Kitna was not the answer when he was brought in a few years ago. I didn’t (and still don’t) understand why they would look at a quaterback of a terrible team (the Bengals) for the solution to our own quarterback problem. I know this sounds like a broken record but the problem is our front office. WCF doesn’t care one way or the other because he is getting money and Millen doesn’t care because he knows he will be there forever. Until the change is made in the front office, we will always be mediocre at best. Hopefully, as Sean said, the message will be sent in a few weeks when the Bears game gets blacked out. I’m sick of Kitna, though his leadership and toughness are his redeeming qualities, and I doubt that Orlovsky and Stanton are the answers. The Lions, as always, are in a dilemma between the bad and the worse.

Bench kitna what for he threw for 4 TDS in the fourth quarter on sunday

the Lions should throw Orlovsky in there just for the heck of it. Everyone says he’s a career backup, but maybe there’s something in him. Heck, he hasn’t played a full game since he’s come into the league. It’s not like it’s real hard to play QB in detroit either, you just throw the deep ball to Calvin and Roy, and try not to get hit too much. I say give him a shot.

I have been scratching my head every since they brought Jon to Detriot. Jon is a great person and a fairly decent QB but , he isn’t a winner ! Matt Millan saw Jon in a playoff game that cinci was in a few years back and thought that he was the guy ! But not!!!! Jon played a great game that day after his first string QB got injured ! He threw the long balls,the short passes and even ran the ball himself a few times as i recall. But he still lost the game ! Jon is a good QB but he is not a playoff QB! And right now i don’t think that Jon wants to be here. He wasn,t happy about Martz’s departure and i know he says that he’s OK with the changes but i don’t believe him! What i really believe is that this week he is going to see his favorate coach. And i don’t think that he has any plans on beating his favorite coach! Orlofski? Is that how you spell his name? Well, anyway i think he would do a good job and i think he is ready to play. I believe that if we gave him a chance he would take the reigns and lead very well ! He played fairly well in the pre season . Hey, green bay has a four year on the bench QB and it’s working out for them. No, really i believe orlofski is ready and he can see over the offensive line dudes heads! Really long arms and tall man. The guy is a monster! As far as Stanton goes i think he is great and i believe that he will be great i just hope that the NFL will let him play real games? NFL (Not Fricken Legitimate)!!!!!
