The praise for Detroit's Matthew Stafford, the first overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, is beginning to roll in. New Lions head coach Jim Schwartz has been praising Stafford lately as the the finishes up minicamp.
"We've got two criteria for when Matthew will play,'' Schwartz told Peter King of Sports Illustrated. "One is he'll play when he's ready. The second is when he's the best quarterback for us. But so far, whatever the opposite of buyers' remorse is, that's what we have. We knew he had the terrific NFL arm. But we've found out his release is just textbook classic.''
Stafford has reportedly been placing the ball perfectly on tough passes and displaying a picture-perfect motion.
The Lions won't name a starting quarterback until training camp. For now, though, it appears Stafford has the lead on incumbent Daunte Culpepper.

I take the leash that's leading me
I'm bleeding me, whoa!
I wouldn't bank on him starting out the gate.
I really doubt that its on him tho
Id think he has the talent, but its really just the line and RB’s to block for him. Id think you throw Culpepper to the wolves for a few games anyway just to see how the team plays.
Should let Culpepper play until the bye week.
