]]> Detroit fans know a little something about overreacting. Anyone that has followed fan reactions to the Tigers’ first six games can tell you that. Combine this fan trait with the extra scrutiny that has been historically placed on Lions quarterbacks and it is no wonder that some fans are worried that Matthew Stafford is behind the learning curve, perhaps even irreparably.

Is it true? I’m quite certain it is not and that is a good thing for teams looking for a quarterback this April.

Quarterback: Brett Favre‘s time in the NFL looks like it is finally over.  Favre was banged up the whole season and had to sit out the final weeks of the year.  Joe Webb replaced him and lost two games but upset the Eagles in Philadelphia.  Will the Vikes keep Webb, sign a free agent, or pick the quarterback of the future in this year’s draft?  If they chose the last option, Jake Locker could be the selection.  Locker may have been the first pick last year but decided to stay another year at Washington.  His stock fell this year but he still is a potential first round pick.  Locker has amazing athleticism for being 6’3, 230.  Ryan Mallett should still be available and his big arm along with trading down to select Heisman winner, Cam Newton, are other options at quarterback.
