Based on the NFL's track record of drafting a ton of busts high, and letting gems slip through the cracks, how can anyone think any coach or NFL exec knows what the hell they're doing at the QB position lol? Why shouldn't I feel smarter? My track record is better and I don't even follow college football or scout anyone.

A year by year record of who you wanted at QB in the draft versus who you thought was a bust would be appreciated. I will need links to the evidence of your great QB mind as well. Not "I don't want Ponder anywhere near this team", but "I don't want Ponder, but this Andy Dalton guy might be serviceable for a while." It is easy to go through drafts and pick the crappy QBs, it takes a little talent to find the good ones.

The number of QBs who have been in multiple team's preseason camps and not been able to stick on a roster 4 years into their careers and gone on to be successful QBs is what in the past 20 years?

NFL teams will bend over backwards to give talented QBs a chance to succeed in the NFL. While good NFL QBs can fall in the draft or even go undrafted, but once they get to the NFL, they shine in camp and quickly become backups or even starters. Dak, Wilson, and Brady impressed from day one. Sloter fails to impress ANY NFL GM 4 years in.

You keep hanging onto those 4th quarter comebacks against guys no longer in the NFL though. That means a lot to fans, pretty much nothing to anyone who matters.

He's their 4th string QB, and it took him until Week 13 to make an NFL roster. Let's not get too excited, because it appears the Lions and their fans like their QB depth. Unless he shows his preseason magic in practice, lol, don't be surprised if he's released...

It's about time. I still find it ridiculous how many teams passed up Sloter since Week 1, but it is what it is. Hopefully he gets a chance, as David Blough may or may not be able to hold the job for the rest of the year.

It seems only a few teams were all that interested - it was reported originally that Sloter chose Arizona's practice squad over the Lions' back before Week 1, so the Lions basically had him as their 4th QB unless the Cardinals ever elevated him. I still don't love his chances at sticking as a backup QB next year, unfortunately. I wish him the best.

My boy is on an active roster, so he's just 2 or 3 injuries away from getting his shot. Maybe sooner if the Lions are smarter than everyone else. It's the Lions though, so it's probably not the ideal situation for him to succeed, unlike Special Ted over there in New Orleans. *goteddy*

I thought Blough looked pretty good against the Bears defense, so this is a curious move. Oh I see now, Driskel was put on IR. So it's Stafford (who might get shutdown for the year), Blough, then Sloter. Sloter will be the active #2 if they continue to keep Stafford out.

Lions play the Vikings next Sunday at the Bank, so hold onto your jock strap Blough. Sloter vs Vikings, oooo boy, that'd be something. Don't know if he'd be ready by then though. I guess he has to be xD.

I'd say he's one injury away, unless Stafford is close to being back.

Real defense? Where? They won't show up until halftime at the earliest, so Sloter will have his shot at a 20-0 lead, and he won't throw no stupid INT to Sendejo like numbnuts Allen. How is that even possible ... without Diggs tipping a pass right to him I mean? Oh right, we're expected to believe Sloter is the only QB this defense owns ... in practice lol.

Either way, seems like the Lions sure go through QBs! But from what I can tell, they like Driskel and Blough. Blough definitely earned the opportunity for more playing time this season.
