The Lions have placed 21-year old rookie QB Matt Stafford on the Injured Reserve List due to shoulder and knee injuries.  Stafford has played in 10 games for the Lions this season and he has completed 201 of 377 passes (53.3%) for 2,267 yards with 13 TD passes and 20 INTs (61.0 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 20 times for 108 yards (5.4 ypc) with 2 TD runs this year.  Stafford showed glimpses of his potential this season and it was smart for the Lions to shut him down.  He looks like he will be the QB of the future for the Lions.
