The Lions did a good job of creating the impression that they actually might not use quarterback Matt Stafford as a rookie, despite making him the No. 1 overall pick a year after the two first-round quarterbacks became Week One...

I think this is the best choice for the Lions. They are starting from the bottom. Most of the team is new, and I believe fairly young. Then can grow together over the next few seasons and will still probably add some top 10 picks the next year or 2.

Might as well give the young QB the reps right away. Yeah it might rattle him a bit losing a lot early. But he won't be the one dragging down the team.

I agree. Stafford is the future of their franchise. Why not give this kid as much experience as possible. I just hope he doesn't flop like Leinart.
