November 24, 2008 Lions quarterback Drew Stanton is doubtful for the team's game on Thanksgiving Day due to a concussion, according to MLive.com.
Our View:Stanton suffered the malady on Sunday after he replaced an ineffective Daunte Culpepper. He has no fantasy value even when he does play.
November 23, 2008 Drew Stanton, who earlier had replaced an ineffective Daunte Culpepper, exited the game against Tampa Bay in the fourth quarter with a concussion.
Our View:Culpepper is back under center with the Lions down 38-20 in the fourth quarter.
November 14, 2008 Daunte Culpepper will start Week 11 at Carolina, but Drew Stanton could see some action in the game, according to MLive.com. Offensive coordinator Jim Colletto said, "We'll see how the game plays out. This if the first time Daunte's played on the road and the there could be silent count problems and we'll see how he adjusts to that. We'll let the game dictate that. We did the goal-line thing a week ago for a specific reason and we probably won't do that this time."
Our View:This is favorable news for Stanton, but neither quarterback should make a positive impact against the Panthers' fourth ranked pass defense.
November 6, 2008 Tom Kowalski of MLive.com isn't ruling out the possibility of Drew Stanton starting over the newly acquired Daunte Culpepper in Week 10 against the Jaguars.
Our View:The source states that it would make some sense to start Stanton and see how he does, and if he isn't effective, the Lions can always pull him. Culpepper's status could depend on how quickly he learns the Lions' playbook and gels with his new teammates.
November 2, 2008 MLive.com believes Drew Stanton will drop to the No. 3 role at quarterback with Daunte Culpepper serving as Dan Orlovsky's primary backup.
Our View:Stanton has a good arm and potential to succeed in the NFL, but is still behind the curve in his development as he spent his rookie campaign in 2007 on IR with a knee sprain.
