Yeeeeeeeeeah booooy! I absolutey feel it. Now we've all got to be on the DocTre Superman Stanton bandwagon. Forget MSU, it was the situation that prevented Drew from being a big NCAA success. Now he's a Lion and hopefully he can be the quarterback of the future. Stanton at QB, CJ and Roy Dub at the wide out, and the ball of to Duckett...I'm lovin' it!

Go Lions!

I'll let this slide a bit, even though it belongs in the NFL forum. Tre's too excited for me to burst his bubble right now.

Thank ya, I appreciate it. Well, since we've talked Stanton so much here I thought we could have this thread. I wanted to hear what the NCAA crew thought about it. It's kindof a crossover between NCAA and NFL.

I like the thread.
Stanton is a poor man's Brady Quinn, and he ain't leading the Lions anywhere.
He's injury prone, weak armed, and not terribly accurate.
Yes, he played for Michigan State, but for three years Sparty has been hailing him as one of the better QB's in the NCAA, and it isn't there.
Prove me wrong though, Drew. I love the Lions and now that you aren't a Sparty, I'm hoping you realize the potential your Sparty brethren see in you.

I could go either way on this, at least it's better than Troy Smith. gag

I feel sorry for Drew. I was hoping that he'd get a shot at not getting hit the second he gets the snap now that he's into the NFL. At the Lions, that's not going to happen.

He should be used to the losing at least.

Where is Moodini? >>"Grow up Glenn!"

Seriously every time I see "Glenn" as the last person who posted, I wonder what one line joke he'll make about MSU this time. I do it once in awhile on UM, but I don't think it makes up 95% of my posts like the great Glenn.

I did think about this for a little while yesterday. Drew had the unfortunate luck of being stuck with two terrible college coaches after being recruited by Saban. Now he gets drafted by one of the worst franchises in sports history.

However, if he could lead the Lions to wins in the future...he'd be adored by everyone in Michigan. And he's got two unbelievable threats at WR to work with. Stanton just might be the guy to get the Lions to the playoffs in the future. He's almost a lock for QB #2 already.

And how does it make you feel to know that I am an MSU grad ('94)?

Just calling things as I see them, bud.

What one line joke Glenn will use
Based on Drew's peformance as a Sparty QB, he'll actually fit in quite nicely with the Lions.

I'm pretty sure if you couldn't make fun of the Lions and/or MSU that message boards wouldn't exist.

MB's are a gift from gawd.

Typical Michigan fan.

good post Tre............way to bash on your own Sparty B-Diddy.

im not bashing. its an honest question. what seperates them? cuz they look like damn near carbon copies to me. the main difference was mcmahan was a second day draft pick for us, whereas stanton was a second round pick.

not necessarilly against this pick, im just suspicious.

McMann is faster....

Stanton is smarter and has a lot more accuracy, but not as much arm strength.

what seperates drew stanton from mike mcman (sp?)

McMahon is a better WR. Stanton is better on ST's.

Stanton better on special teams--OUCH. Undeserved. But funny.
Funny is good.

Slightly related material.

Matt Trannon skips his senior basketball season when the team could have certainly used him.......and goes undrafted. Maybe not the best choice for everyone involved.

lmao...Stanton is the furthest thing from Superman in the NFL. He couldnt last getting hit by college kids...Enjoy it when Brian Urlacher blows his shit up. lol...dumb ass pick.

<|--------so glad i am not a LOLns fan

Rutgers actually has a good football program.








(That was for you, Tre.)

A reciever in round one. A QB in round two. Wasn't this supposed to be the year the draft was about defense?

I am getting sickening flashbacks of Tre saying "Yeeeeeeeah booooy!" when Mateen was picked by the Pistons. [smilie=puke.gif]

This was a horrible PR pick by Millen to win over green goggle wearin Sparties like Tre. Congratulations Millen, you got what MIGHT be your second string quarterback when you need impact starters on defense.

I am now drawing the Lions logo in my own puke next to the Spartans logo I drew a long time ago.

good post Tre............way to bash on your own Sparty B-Diddy.

Nice post Filly. Care to read before you post next time? I didn't write that, Glenn did and used the quote code to make it look like I wrote it. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

Maybe you should take off your goggles. The Lions have one legit quarterback on their team (Kitna). Stanton was the #3 quarterback on Mel Kiper's board. Oh, but Wizzle doesn't think he's good so I guess it was just a PR move. How about considering the more logical explanation. Drew Stanton is a talented mobile quarterback that Kiper and offensive/quarterback genius Martz believe will succeed in the NFL.

I'll take Martz's and Kiper's opinion over Wizzle's I'm sorry. Maybe you should look past the joker coaching the lack of talent around Stanton and see a hard working talented quarterback. Drew would've been an All American with OSU/UM type of talent around him.

Well, I'm not sure how to judge this one. I like Stanton, but I'm not sure how he'll fare.

The Positives:
-He is a tough person, and he'll have to be since Detroit Fans are quick to jump on their QB's.
-He's mobile. He'll need to be with the OL we've had here since Lomas Brown left.
-He's coachable. I think he'll soak up Martz like a sponge.
-No immediate pressure. He'll have a year or so to learn.
-Great WR's. Should allow him to excell if he picks up the offense well.

The Negatives:
-Doesn't throw a pretty ball. Maybe Martz can fix that.
-Quick to run. Martz's offense takes time for routes to develop.
-Bad OL. Luckily Stanton is used to buying time with his feet with WR's that didn't help him a lot.
-Prone to mistakes. Could be a lack of talent at MSU causing that, we'll see.

Hopefully the OL comes together, at least by next year when he'll likely start. If so, he'll have great WR's, a very good RB, and hopefully a good OL. If they don't solve OL and he's running for his life all the time I don't think he'll suceed here.

Okay, so you think backup quarterback was the most pressing need on this team IN THE SECOND ROUND. I would have been pissed at any quarterback choice that early. You may now think Drew is going to show what he can do because he will have talent around him and proper coaching, but you do remember he is on the LIONS now, right. Tre, don't let Millen and the cornbread do it to you....you are exactly what they were looking for with this pick. Look past the green S and seriously look at the lions roster to see how bad this pick was.

I don't think this is the place to discuss whether we should have picked him there. We have draft threads for that. I think the intent of this thread should be to discuss Stanton the Lions backup QB, not pick #43 or whatever he was.

He's here now, talk about whether he's going to suceed.

If you want to rip the pick (and believe me I was screeming for a CB or LB there), that's fine. But rip/praise the picks in the draft threads.

Kiper thinks Stanton "could be" a decent starter, but the review isn't exactly "glowing" I'd say.


Detroit Lions: GRADE: C
It would have been tough to pass on Calvin Johnson, the best prospect in the draft. Drew Stanton will be measured against Brady Quinn because the Lions could have taken the Notre Dame QB. Stanton could be a decent starter, but he does not have a lot of upside. Ikaika Alma-Francis is a very good, but very raw, defensive end. Alma-Francis has a lot of talent and potential, and a lot of teams had a high opinion of him. Safety Gerald Alexander was a reach in the second round; A.J. Davis could be a good nickel or dime cornerback; Manuel Ramirez was a nice fourth-round pick who will be a starting guard in the NFL; and Johnny Baldwin was a good small-school linebacker at Alabama A&M who will be a good backup and special-teams player.

sorry chris....i getchya

I'm not trying to be a dick Wizzle. Just thinking that we'll be discussing how bad his draft is in 5 different threads otherwise. Plus Tre will delete your posts in here anyway. lol

I work with a huge MSU homer that just told me that the Lions just drafted the next incarnation of Brett Favre.

Good luck with that.

BTW, Drew Stanton called me last night to say he's pumped about being a Lion.



Funny, his voice sounded an awful lot like D'snuts voice. Wierd.

The Lions won't win the Super Bowl next year. They were picking Stanton for the future. Most likely next year and those that follow. Do they have needs, yes! They need everything. Therefore, draft a very important need- the most important position on the field. That's the way I look at it.

And a backup QB or a QB with Stanton's talent can be had at the free agent level or from any scrap heap shit B league. Especially a rookie backup.

I'm not trying to be a dick Wizzle. Just thinking that we'll be discussing how bad his draft is in 5 different threads otherwise. Plus Tre will delete your posts in here anyway. lol

I've never deleted a single person's post here ever douche. Now that you've mentioned it though plenty of your shit is worth deleting.

Kitna has two years left and hopefully we get both of them. While I knocked Kitna when he was coming here, he certainly seems to be capable. Decision making might be an issue and he can't avoid a sack, but he's going to throw for 4,500 yards either this year or next, if not both. He just needs to throw more TD's than INT's. CJ will help him do that.

Anyhow, what Kitna did with Heisman winner Carson Palmer in one year will require at least two years with onetime Heisman hopeful Drew Stanton. I think everyone agrees there is some talent there. This is a guy who lead a high powered offense even though some of his receivers couldn't catch a beachball.

Now for criticism - one of the funniest things I heard about Stanton came from Ron Jaworski. He said, "I've been watching this kid through most of his collegiate career and I have yet to see him throw a spiral." Either way you look at it, that's some good stuff.

Now that I think about it, many of you are right. We should've went with Harris because we haven't drafted any linebackers lately. And on top of it, I know I'd like to see a Orvalosky led Lions team in the future. Quarterback? Important? WTF? There are more important needs...right?

Part of Kitna's "success" can be attributed to the fact that the Lions ran the ball fewer times than any team in NFL history last year (advantage Martz, disadvantage Marinelli "pound the rock", my ass).

That said, give Kitna a better offensive line and he's no worse than average, and he's the best the Lions have at QB by a mile.

Care to take that back? I remember some Oklahoma fans complaining about some threads being deleted. At any rate, I was just messing around with you, relax. Why are you attacking my posts?

No, I don't take that back. The OU posts were never deleted, they were merged into a thread that was already started on the exact same topic and the dumb Sooners couldn't figure that out when it was posted and explained right in front of their faces. And I wasn't the mod that did it.

I was just joking about your posts because you made it sound like I delete posts/threads all the time. I can handle a little mb beat down on my opinions, but I don't like it if somebody claims I'm taking advantage of mod privelages when I'm not.

It's all good.
