At some point, the Detroit Lions will have to draft a quarterback to replace Matthew Stafford. That we know.
As I have written, I think it would be a mistake for the Lions to draft a quarterback with their first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, considering the fact that landing a stud QB is a crapshoot at best and also that improving the defense should be the top priority.
That being said, many are convinced that the Lions should move on from Stafford as soon as the 2020 season ends.
On Monday, Stafford was asked by reporters how he would feel about the Lions potentially selecting a quarterback in the upcoming draft, even if said QB would watch and learn under him until his time in Detroit was over.
“Well, that’s so hypothetical and so far in the future, it’s tough for me to even wrap my head around that,” Stafford responded. “So many decisions that are out of my control. All I know is that I would, wherever I’m at, if I’m here or somewhere else, I’ll be doing everything I can to be as good a football player and as good a teammate I can possibly be.”
