Ya... That was too many quotes... In any case, I think Stafford has the potential to have an amazing career... Even for the Lions. However, it's never a good idea to throw your new meal ticket into the fire.

Besides that, Culpepper has a little bit left in the tank, I think. If you have a capable caretaker and an untested prospect, you have to go with the caretaker. Stafford will have his time in the spotlight soon enough.
