The Detroit Lions had been just the worst quarterback-producing team in the NFC before Matthew Stafford came along, as this team has cycled through bust first-round picks and underperforming veterans with regularity.
One subpar passer stands out above (or below) the rest. This miss was such a big mistake in Detroit's part that their decision had ripple effects in the NFL Draft community that didn't completely subside for years afterward.
Andre Ware, whom the Lions once thought could change the scope of this franchise and be their next great quarterback across the 1990s, might be the biggest miss this team has ever had under center.
