Daunte Culpepper doesn’t deny he was upset on Thanksgiving, when he appeared disgruntled about the Lions coaches’ late decision to go with Matthew Stafford as the starting quarterback against Green Bay.

Stafford, the Lions’ rookie No. 1 overall pick, didn’t practice that week after suffering a separated left shoulder four days earlier in the win over Cleveland. He was officially listed as doubtful for the game, yet still got the starting nod Thursday morning.

Asked if there was a communication issue on gameday, Culepper said Friday, “I mean, clearly it was. But, hey, it is what it is.”

It's funny, I know Culpepper knows Stafford is the future so I'm sure he's not delusional in his remarks. It was ridiculous to see the Lions stick with Stafford and actually risking further injury to him instead of just going with their backup. That game was dreadful as planned so for the sake of the audience on Thanksgiving, thanks Detroit Lions for punishing us further with another year of terrible play from your sorry team.

Rant concluded. I really miss Daunte Culpepper, I do!
