Lions Yank Culpepper, Quarterback Issues Continue To Abound

On the heels of Daunte Culpepper’s abysmal performance in Week 14, the Lions quarterback continued to disappoint in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. Apparently head coach Jim Schwartz has seen enough. John Niyo tweets:

Drew Stanton looks like he'll be the QB in the second half for Lions. Helmet on, Culpepper arms on his hips, looking like he's done.

↵Bad times for the Lions. Franchise quarterback Matt Stafford is still out with a shoulder injury, and it turns out that their number 2 option is bad at football. Hmm. this is odd. Schwartz has gathered a mop, a jersey, and a random assortment of other items on the sideline. What is he...oh goodness, is he attempting to construct a new quarterback? Stop it, Jim! Just stop! It’s no use!
