From 1999-2008, the starting quarterbacks for the Detroit Lions have been Charlie Batch, Gus Frerotte, Stoney Case, Ty Detmer, Mike McMahon, Joey Harrington, Jeff Garcia, Jon Kitna, Dan Orlovsky, and Daunte Culpepper. I’m no math whiz but I can tell you that those 10 players average out to one quarterback per season and I can also tell you that that ratio is not a formula for winning very many football games!
Now, no one is in any rush to put any of the aforementioned hurlers into the Pro Football Hall of Fame but there were a few serviceable arms among the bunch.
