Jon Kitna or Daunte Culpepper? What a choice that would be for the Lions at quarterback.
To me, the better answer is none of the above.
Obviously, the better pick would be Dan Orlovsky, but he will command attention on the free agent market. Maybe the Lions should pay him that little extra to retain him.
The Lions need to breakaway from their past and select a quarterback for the future early in the draft, and either sign a free agent, or make a trade for a quarterback, to bridge to the future.
Kitna and Culpepper represent too much of that past. Kitna is the better player right now, but that isn’t saying much, Culpepper hasn’t been an effective player for five years. It isn’t that he was just rusty when he came to Detroit.

Random Thoughts

- I don’t know what’s worse, Alex Rodriguez’s admission he used performance enhancing drugs or Bud Selig coming out and acting hurt and shocked about it. If there is anybody who needs to look in the mirror when it comes to this issue, it’s Bud Selig.

- If Kitna does stay with the Lions, please, no more predictions of a 10-win season. Call it ironic if you want, but the Lions won exactly 10 games in the nearly 2 1-2 seasons Kitna was their starting quarterback.
