For such a long time, the quarterback position wasn’t much of a question or concern for the Detroit Lions. Sure, there were plenty of backup quarterbacks along the way during Matthew Stafford’s tenure in Detroit, but there wasn’t much calculus to do because the starting position was always written in ink.
Now, the Lions are faced with making decisions at football’s premier position this offseason, and those decisions are going to impact the immediate direction and future of this franchise. It all depends on who they choose to bring into the quarterback room, and from those decisions, we’ll be able to glean where the Lions are headed in this rebuild.
