Cut Tulloch, save $. I'd be more than fine with Whitehead filling that role, and mentioned my displeasure with Tulloch starting all year long. The Lions COULD have built off of Whiteheads performance last uear, instead he was a ghost the first 8 weeks.

But, he was the starter most of the 2nd half... so there shouldn't be any hesitation from the team to agree to allow him to compete for the starting job, and to reassure him that he has the inside track on it.

I haven't swore of ESPN like a lot of people here have but I refuse to touch any link or story with their name on it. Fucking garbage commentary. They make any radio guy on the local dial look like Dan Patrick.
