QB Stanton May Get 1st Start

Detroit Lions' starting QB Jon Kitna left the game against Chicago after experiencing back spasms and backup Dan Orlovsky suffered a high ankle sprain at the end of the game. Neither played well at all when healthy anyway. Drew Stanton could get a shot at the starting job in Week 6. Sin City Scout

Will Kitna Be Benched Soon?

As Detroit continues to flounder, veteran QB Jon Kitna hasn't done a thing to help his team by continuing to throw interceptions. The problem is the Lions possible QB of the future, Drew Stanton, is recovering from a finger injury. He only began throwing last week for the first time in two and a half weeks. He may be ready by after the bye, but Kitna may get one more chance while Staton continues to heal, but don't be surprised to see Stanton next game if Kitna continues to fail. You never know how a young QB is going to play these days and Detroit has the weapons to make this an interesting situation. This makes him a deep prospect, especially in 2 QB leagues. He was the Lion's second-round-pick in 2007, but has yet to throw a pass in a real game. Stanton was placed on IR in 2007 after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery during training camp. Stanton is an very accurate passer with excellent scrambling ability. Sin City Scout
