What should I do with this guy? He is my number 2 QB in a 2QB league!!??
Not sure about the knee injury, but if Kitna stacks a couple of more losses on that 0-3 record he will be watching from the sideline. Not much sense in going 0-16 with a 36-year old quarterback at the helm.My advice about Kitna? Buy low on Drew Stanton
Stanton is the future..if there is such a thing.So for the Detroit homers, if the Lions make a switch at Qb who gets the call and what is reasonably expected from this?I have Kitna as my #1 and Derek Anderson as my #2.Also how much does it hurt Calvins value if they make a change?thanks in advance for any info
I have Warner, Kitna, and Anderson in a start 2 QB league. I'm 3-0, but I'm getting kind of nervous.So for the Detroit homers, if the Lions make a switch at Qb who gets the call and what is reasonably expected from this?I have Kitna as my #1 and Derek Anderson as my #2.Also how much does it hurt Calvins value if they make a change?thanks in advance for any info
You should consider drafting Leinart just in case if Anderson or Kitna lose their starting jobs. You could probably get Leinart for peanuts and you will be somewhat protected.CrossEyed said:I have Warner, Kitna, and Anderson in a start 2 QB league.

The coaching staff seems to favor Orlovsky at this point, the fans are clamoring for Stanton.Should Kitna not be able to go or they just decide to make a switch who will likely get the call Dan Orlovsky or Drew Stanton?
I think I might have more faith in Quinn producing than Leinart.And we can only carry 3 QBs.You should consider drafting Leinart just in case if Anderson or Kitna lose their starting jobs.

Lions' Stanton says he's ready; Kitna says he's not the problemby Tom KowalskiTuesday September 23, 2008, 11:19 AMQuarterback Jon Kitna is aware that a change is possible, but he doesn't believe it should happen."I'm all about this team winning. If they feel that's necessary, then so be it. But I don't think I'm the problem.'' Kitna said Tuesday.Kitna also said that he's been given no indication that a change is quarterbacks is about to take place.Stanton also said that he hasn't been told anything."They haven't said a single word to me. As far as I'm concerned, I'm still the third quarterback,'' Stanton said.When asked if he's healthy enough to play against the Bears, Stanton said:"Yeah, I think so, definitely. It's not 100 percent but I think within the next week or so, I'll be there. I have pretty much all my strength back in there. It's just getting that grip strength back and being able to put pressure on the ball at a different spot and sometimes that doesn't necessarily happen just because it is a little bit weaker because of inactivity and having it immobilized for so long.''Stanton has been throwing at practice for a couple of weeks, but he was held out of 11-on-11 drills because the coaches didn't want to take the chance he's hit his thumb again and aggravate the injury before it had a chance to fully heal."After this bye, I'll be fully involved. To what degree, that remains to be seen,'' Stanton said. "Being the third string quarterback, you only get a couple of reps right at the end of scout team.''As far as having a mental grip on the offense, Stanton believes he could handle the workload."I think, for me, I feel comfortable within it,'' he said. "It changes from week to week depending on the game plan. I feel I understand the majority of it and what we're trying to do, but I've never had a chance to run it through a whole course of a game so it remains to be seen.''So, if called upon, he'd be ready to start against the Bears?"Yeah, I'll be able to play,'' he said. "But you can play 'what if's' all day.''PlasmaDogPlasma said:Isn't Stanton hurt too?
makes sense - not a good sign for those Det WRs unless Stanton hits the ground running.The word from the locals is that Kitna will start this week against the Bears and the next two after, which are both road games. At that point, if the Lions are in contention (basically meaning win 2 of the next 3), then Kitna will remain the starter. If not, that is the point where Drew Stanton will be considered. The above is not official from the Lions, but it, or something similar, is widely believed by the local beat writers.

Orlovsky is the #2 with regards to being the game day backup. He also is theoretically the #2 as long as the lions have a chance. We know they are done, but from their view, as long as they aren't eliminated, Orlovsky is the backup. There is little doubt Stanton will start later in the year over Orlovsky once the Lions are eliminated or close.i thought orlovsky was the #2 this season....?Kiddnets said:makes sense - not a good sign for those Det WRs unless Stanton hits the ground running.Anthony Borbely said:The word from the locals is that Kitna will start this week against the Bears and the next two after, which are both road games.
