Jon Kitna – Lions deliver low blow

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
My Lions stink. How could they just take Jon Kitna and throw him aside?

Jon Kitna’s career in Detroit takes a knee

No, Jon is not the short term answer to quarterback and he is not the long term answer, but there is a way to handle things and the Lions don’t know about that way. The Lions went with a gutless low class way. The put Jon on IR, basically shelved him for the season and implied he is done forever as a Lions.

Hey, thanks for nothing.

Oh, Jon had a bulging disc and needed some rest, but felt he could play last Sunday. If the coach, Rod Marinelli, does not want to play him, then fine, don’t play him, but why throw him out? Couldn’t he have helped with the young QB’s?

Sometimes the thought crosses my mind that Jon had it out with Jim Colletto, the offensive coordinator. Don’t have any proof of that, but this whole thing stinks.

Obviously when things aren’t going well, and things haven’t been going well for the Lions, changes are going to be inevitable. Typically the first person to get changed is the quarterback position. They way things were handled, it just seemed to me that, you know okay, we were thinking about making a change anyways, and this, all this does is really expedite the process and give even more reason for us to be able to go ahead and do this. That would be fine with me, I wouldn’t like it, but I could understand it. I know how the business is. The problem that I have is that is not what was communicated to me. It was more of, you’re hurt. Yeah, I got hurt in the game but I had the same thing last year but I pushed and could have played in the preseason game.
