He was worse than Plummer. I dont have high hopes but wish him to do great

I don't think most actually watch a snap of his 2024 or 2025 preseason games. There is a reason a 3rd round draft pick was jettisoned so quickly for.....Kyle Allen.

He is atrocious.

See if he can be coached up on the practice squad.

If something happens to Bryce, we will see him before the end of the year because Dalton will run out of gas.

Hooker starting over Dalton would solely be due to injury or potentially due to an obvious tank effort down the stretch.

The problem I have with Hooker is he is already 27. So all that potential you have in a player is gone. He is already in his prime. He’s shown nothing for the lions who is a great team with great weapons and great offensive line. You think that’s going to change here?

yeah but he will never be a starter. at 32 he will still have really low mileage on him

No way he was worse

He finished the preseason 22-of-40 passing for 187 yards, zero touchdowns, three interceptions and two fumbles. The Lions were held without a touchdown and were limited to just one field goal in 20 preseason drives with Hooker at the helm

 

He was horrible this preseason.  Add to the fact he is 27, unless DC is a true qb whisperer then this dude aint ever seeing the light of day on a nfl field.  If ben johnson couldnt get him going in the right direction then I dont know what to say

Look it up. On a much better offensive team he was worse in every way

Hooker is hot ass but he at least has an NFL skill set

Didn’t he have a major surgery done to him?

still, 27, 32 doesn’t matter he hasn’t shown improvement. I doubt a change of scenery will change that. I doubt think the system he was in or the team was the issue with him. 
 

I would honestly rather have a young QB who maybe raw but could actually be good with time and coaching. I don’t get why everyone has such low expectations for back up QBs. Back up QBs can be developed into starters. Why invest in a player who doesn’t have much potential?

Yeah he was drafted and stayed on the Lions active roster for a couple years.  That's an upgrade over Plummer.

I remember people here saying it was ridiculous that we didn't draft Hooker, and that he would be someone we regretted passing on.

 only 1 QB in the history of mankind has managed a winning record with his opportunities in the David Tepper era.   

Bring in PJ.   He has NFL tools.  He will at least be entertaining if called upon.  How is that not better than Andy. 

*PJ Walker bandwagon is back up now that it is....not...time for for the percolator.
