Freep - Shaun Hill broke the index finger on his throwing hand in the first half of last week’s loss to the Patriots and could miss the remainder of the season, a person familiar with the situation said. Drew Stanton took first-team reps in practice today and is expected to make his second career start Sunday against the Bears.
On Monday, the Lions worked out quarterbacks Josh McCown and J.T. O’Sullivan, according to foxsports.com. Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Tuesday not to read too much into the workouts. “Both of those guys left without us doing anything, and we generally work out guys on a consistent basis, not just for reaction to situations on the team, but also just prudence and seeing where guys are at different positions and things like that,” Schwartz said. “We also worked out a wide receiver (Troy Williamson), and you’re going to need some quarterbacks to throw to him sometimes, so I wouldn’t read too much into that. But I think anything that comes from our possibility of signing players or anything else, just wait until we actually do it before we comment on it.”
Shaun has been borderline terrible the last two weeks after I went ahead and publicly announced he was awesome before the Bills game. Thanks douche. But just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, Shaun goes and gets hurt and we're working out former Lions' quarterbacks Josh McCown and J.T. O'Sullivan.
Lions, your QB situation, woof.
Bringing in either of these guys, which the Lions have since decided against, would merely be an insurance policy against having Suh line up under center if Stanton and then Robinson go down. But in reality things could actually get real ugly on Sunday. Imagine if Julius Peppers gets ahold of Stanton like he did Stafford on week 1. No one can tell me they trust Zac Robinson as an actual NFL starter. If he touches the field it is possible we might be witness to the least effective offense in the history of the NFL.
