The Detroit Lions have one of the best starting offense in football, spearheaded by scintillating quarterback Jared Goff, but this preseason has created some genuine doubts about how good this team is going to be should Goff need to miss some extended time with an injury.
The competition between Hendon Hooker, a Brad Holmes draft pick who hasn't shined in his limited action, and well-traveled veteran Kyle Allen for the backup quarterback job has been a race to the bottom so far. Things appear to be getting progressively worse as the preseason goes on.
Allen and Hooker combined for three interceptions in the Lions' loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in the preseason, and Hooker managed to keep up the rancid play against the Atlanta Falcons.
