Stafford, give the city of Detriot a reason to watch football.

Throwing Stafford in right away will turn him into David Carr with that horrid offensive line. Let Culpepper play for a bit.

Culpepper, let the kid see the game at full speed before throwing him into that inferno in Detroit

As of now I would have to say Daunte Culpepper. Unless Stafford has a stellar pre-season. The Lions better wait until after pre-season to make this decision.

While what u said was true, culpepper was there when they went defeated last year. The organization wants and need a new start a figure they can put new hope in. If he shows even a glimmer of potential I think he should start.

While a contributer to that winless season the Lions had a lot more going against them than Culpeppers play at QB. The big issue to me is that right now the Lions do not offer even a decent situation for a rookie QB, especially one you just gave a lot of money to. The o-line is terrible and there isnt a running game that they can lean on to take pressure off of the QB.

As much as I love Stafford, Culpepper needs to start and Stafford needs to set and watch for a few weeks.

Culpepper.

Throwing Stafford to the wolves in his first game on an NFL roster would hinder his progression, IMO.
