What about Drew Stanton?

I am not much of a Detroit Lions fan…actually I am not a Lions fan at all but there is one thing thats got me interested. All anyone is talking about is the Quarterback battle between Matthew Stafford, and Dante Caulpepper. I’ve watched all three preseason games and why is no one talking about Drew Stanton? He has looked the best out of three so far this year. Personally I think he should be the starter opening day. He’s got to be somewhat good if he was drafted in the second round. I think if he started on a regular basis and got into a rhythm and system then he could be great. Look at his numbers at MSU

YEAR CMP ATT YDS CMP% LNG TD INT SACKED
2003 2 3 39 66.7 31 0 0 1
2004 141 220 1601 64.1 57 8 6 4
2005 236 354 3077 66.7 75 22 12 23
2006 164 269 1807 61 46 12 10 19
TOTAL 543 846 6524 64 75 42 28 47

Those number are not that bad. They aren’t that great but I’ve seen worst. He could be a prodigy and superstar waiting to happen. I think if the Lions don’t give him a fair shot he will leave and end being a success wherever he goes. There are some teams in need of a good Quarterback. I think of a few teams like the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills, St. Louis Rams, San Fransisco 49ers, and I might even say the Washington Redskins. There will always be a team i need of a good Quarterback. Stanton had the game winning touchdown today and has moved the ball more then the other two. Anyways on that note I think you are going to hear a lot more from Drew Stanton in the future. I wouldn’t count him just yet. Stay tuned for the rise of Drew Stanton.
