Is Stanton’s Start the End for Culpepper?
Filed under: Lions , NFL Quarterbacks The Drew Stanton era — however short it may be — officially began in Detroit Wednesday. Head coach Jim Schwartz announced that Stanton, a third-year pro out of Michigan State, would start at quarterback for the Lions in San Francisco this week. Stanton relieved Daunte Culpepper in Week 15 against Arizona and nearly led Detroit back from a 17-0 deficit to a huge upset win. Sunday’s start will be his first in the NFL . “It was a nice early Christmas present,” said Stanton of getting the nod, according to the Detroit News , “The best one I’ve had.” Culpepper’s Christmas, on the other hand, has a bit more of a coal-in-the-stocking type feel. The Lions’ decision to go with Stanton may signal the end of the line for Culpepper’s career. ? Permalink ?|? Email this ?|? Linking?Blogs ?|? Comments
