Stafford Fails Medical

[Arctic Dawgs]

Could wind up missing 4 to 6 weeks. Just heard it on NFL Network

 

[Arctic Dawgs]

Surgery not nessecary according to Coach Swartz, but he said no timetable on return. All would be speculation

Its a shoulder injury correct, is it the same shoulder he injured last season :hmmm:

 

[Arctic Dawgs]

Nope, It is his throwing shoulder this time

 

[derringer007]

Thats not good news, hope he dont become an injury prone player, has tons of upside for the Lions if can stay healthy

 

[Sgt John]

Ok who exactly is the backup QB in Detroit?


And how long until someone dials up Jeff Garcia

 

[Trickster]

Thats not good news, hope he dont become an injury prone player, has tons of upside for the Lions if can stay healthy

IMO, he is injury prone as we speak.

 

[Sgt John]

Now with all due credit that offensive line has improved, but they can still easily let a Mack truck through and plow the QB.

HIll will end up with his head jammed up his arse sideways too if he isnt careful.

Garcia would be a great fit for the Lions this season. I hope they pursue him.

Garcia would be a great fit for the Lions this season. I hope they pursue him.

I hope they persue him as well. Garcia would be great for the team.

I read yesterday that Stafford has a second degree separated shoulder. For some reason the coach of the Lions said that tackle Jeff Backus had a pro bowl season last year. He is the reason that Stafford was hurt last season and again this season. Get some offensive line help!

This sux, really seems Detroit is on the right track to become a winning organization again. With Stafford going down, its a huge setback for them. Think they got enough talent still to make it an interesting season for them still.
