Will Rudock make the team?
I don't have NFL Ticket and can't see many Lion's games out here in North Carolina so I can't get a feel for how he's doing. I've never wanted someone to make a team more than this. It would be the cool storybook ending to Jake's journey. What's the feeling back home? Is he going to be there on opening day?

Why does a franchise wear a patch for a second consecutive year to honor an owner who absolutely killed the team and left us with a zombie version of an NFL franchise?

If the Lions had a semi-competent coach, he'd be a lock to make it with the current roster. Even if he wasn't performing better than Orlovsky (which he is), it would make sense to take the young guy. Alas, Jim Caldwell.

Orlovsky started 5 games for the Colts in Caldwell's last year in Indy (2-14 season). That's the only reason I can think of why they even brought Orlovsky back in Detroit. It honestly makes zero sense to bring back someone from the 0-16 team, especially since the "safety" was one of the most embarrassing moments in NFL history.

Ruddock will be the QBof the future for the Lions.....in fact, he's going to convert me from cowboys to lions fan forever!

"...for the Lions...", you must not like him very much. In a perfect world, he will be on the Pats as a backup to TB, and take over once TB gets his 5th or 6th ring!

He won't be on the practice squad for the Lions unless you think he'll clear waivors.

I think he makes the team.
My opinion is that the new GM, who is a talent guru, will see Rudock as a leader and the future. Orlovsky is getting up there and will never be starter material. Stafford is not a leader and his ceiling has been evident over his NFL career...at least within the shitty Lions organization. Anywhere else he probably would have been a multiple SuperBowl QB.
I'm torn...careers with the Lions are typically wasted. Almost wish Rudock were at another team.

if so, the programming would go something like this:
if lions involved, any decision by the lions will be wrong in an epic fashion
taking rudock is the most logical decision
therefore, n = 0 as it relates to the chance of rudock making the lions roster

He does and Harbaugh released him without restriction.

We'll see after next week. I hope he does because Orlovsky just makes boneheaded mistakes. A lot of people thought we signed Kellen Moore to replace Orlovsky 2 years ago. Plus, I just wanna see Rudock play. I would imagine they'll practice squad him, at the least.

If he didn't go to Michigan / I didn't have a bias toward him, I would say he was pretty terrible. Don't think he makes it. He and Dan O aren't any good.

third string going to keep all three
