The Lions will keep Daunte Culpepper on the bench Sunday and give Drew Stanton his first NFL start

First it was the one-win Rams taking a day off last Thursday. Now the 2-12 Lions are letting quarterback Drew Stanton make his first career start on Sunday in San Francisco.

Joe would love to see the Bucs pound the Saints on Sunday, but can’t these other bottom feeders at least give 100 percent?

Daunte Culpepper will sit the bench for the Lions as the No. 2 quarterback while Stanton gets some experience.

Stanton relieved a struggling Culpepper in the second half of last Sunday’s 31-24 loss to the Cardinals and completed 10 of 19 passes for 72 yards with one interception.

Go Lions!
