Hendon Hooker leads Lions to comeback WIN over Steelers | 2024 NFL Preseason Week 3

[@HRosenberger]

This really is a no brainer.. Hendon Hooker is a great #2.. he has proven not only can he pass, he can make plays..run the ball for those 1st downs. I'm a 64 year old woman & I can see that that's the guy you want in your hip pocket. Truly he deserves to be backup! 😊 GO LIONS

Dan The Man has gotten the Lions ready for a run to the Crown. When your 2nd string players can play the game they played, the Lions finally have some depth which will matter as the season goes on. Talented players and Great coaching are what I've been waiting for since 1957. I'm 78 so I am hoping to see one more Championship.

And Fromm showed that he should be QB2, while Hooker showed that he should be QB3, and that Sudfield should be released. But Sudfield will remain QB2, Fromm will be QB3, and Hooker will remain to learn from the previous two. Sudfield knows the playbook etc whereas the other 2 don't and Goff is too busy playing.

[@apexpredator7536]

@@independentaquaman7424 respectfully I disagree. I think hooker moved up into QB2 while sudfeld is at QB3. Fromm should definitely be 3 at this point, showed more in 10 minutes then sudz ever has.

@@apexpredator7536 Hooker still has far too many kinks. Until today he was playing at a QB4 level. He's now moved into being worthy of being a QB3. Sudfield was this preseason only at a QB3 level and now a QB3b level. Fromm showed that he's worthy of being a QB2 but he wasn't brought in for that. Sudfield was kept here for QB2 until Hooker not only continues to improve on the field but also with Lions' gameplay knowledge off the field.

Hooker looked very good today just like I expected when Lions drafted him. I hope he learns to slide and get out of bounds on his runs. I don't like to see him take big hits. He's a fine QB and wish him continued success and health!

[@prayermadepatna8439]

That's right

[@Rob-dp3vr]

I don't know if anyone noticed, but Manu played really, really well. Pass blocking, he consistently washed his guy right out of the pocket, or piled them up into a heap with the rest of the line. On run downs, he got out and walled guys off, or simply turned his guy and man handled them totally out of the way, smashing them into the rest of the mess. He was driving out of his stance with really good speed and getting into the defenders. He was delivering the blows, rather than just engaging. I like what I saw. He improved with each pre-season game.

Loving the Lions’ new home uniforms. I think they look really sharp.

[@Rob-dp3vr]

I like the shade of blue, and I like the helmets. I don't care for the white numbers. I liked the silver better. The current color combination looks too much like the Cowboys. I really dug the metallic blue helmets last year.

[@benstevens8281]

@@Rob-dp3vr I liked the blue helmets too. But to me, the previous home uniforms colors felt muted. The silver numbers were dull and I found them difficult to see on TV. I think adding white to the numbers and names makes them look brighter and, in my opinion, better. I also didn’t like the silver on silver helmet from years past. I think these ones pop off the screen much more. Plus, I’m a block number fan more than any other style. With exceptions, I think they just fit a football uniform better. But hey, that’s what opinions are for. If you liked the older ones, more power to you.

[@sallybags9090]

I knew he got hurt, but even still. I thought a team would take the risk of drafting him in the late 1st round or 2nd round for sure. He fell to us in the 3rd round. I was so happy when we picked him up in the 3rd. The way i see it is if he has a hard time getting Goff's job in a couple years. Maybe we can trade him for some solid draft picks. I would rather see him replace Goff in a few years(2 or 3yrs). I think Hooker is 25 or 26yrs old. So this whole thing is going to be interesting. Because i like Goff.

[@thenickfoxx]

Hendon Hooker is QB2. Jake Fromm was surprisingly good in his limited play time today. I think it's safe to say he'll be on the practice squad. The coaches have one question to ask now pertaining to the back up QB spot; who gives you the best chance to win if our beloved Jared Goff goes down? Hint: It's not Nate Sudfield.

[@independentaquaman7424]

And Fromm showed that he should be QB2, while Hooker showed that he should be QB3, and that Sudfield should be released. But Sudfield will remain QB2, Fromm will be QB3, and Hooker will remain to learn from the previous two. Sudfield knows the playbook etc whereas the other 2 don't and Goff is too busy playing.

[@thenickfoxx]

@@independentaquaman7424 What? Fromm isn't going to be qb2 bro. Sudfield won't be back up just because he knows the playbook. By that logic, anyone can learn the playbook and play qb. Hooker gives the team a much better chance to win than Sudfield.
