Quarterback (3)
Matthew Stafford
Dan Orlovsky
Kellen Moore
Matthew Stafford is firmly entrenched as the starter, it’s just a matter of what happens on the depth chart behind him. Dan Orlovsky has clearly earned the number two job ahead of Kellen Moore but a good showing in the preseason finale was enough for me to predict that he will keep his roster spot for another year.
Jim Caldwell indicated recently that he isn’t necessarily set on keeping three quarterbacks so Moore could be the odd-man out when the final decisions are actually made. That being said, I get the sense they would like to keep three as they did a year ago.
