The Detroit Lions have depth at quarterback with Hendon Hooker, even in the absence of Teddy Bridgewater, who retired to start his coaching career. But can Detroit trust a quarterback who has never played in the NFL to step up in the event that Jared Goff suffers a major injury? The Lions are set to play in the Super Bowl or bust in 2024. If the response to that question is negative, Christian Booher of SI.com’s All Lions made the case that Detroit ought to think about pursuing veteran quarterback Ryan Tannehill in free agency.
Booher stated, “Over his career, Tannehill has amassed 151 starts and has made the postseason in four of his seasons.” “In eight starts in 2023, he only managed four touchdown passes against seven interceptions, indicating a decline in his output.
“Tannehill fits the bill if the Lions are looking for an experienced backup quarterback.”

Tannehill joined the Miami Dolphins as the eighth overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft. He has only ever finished a regular season worse than two games below 500, despite the fact that he has only ever won a postseason game in one season.
Tannehill had a 3-5 record in 2023 while starting. In ten games with the Tennessee Titans, he averaged seven yards per attempt and recorded a 64.8% completion percentage.
