Okay, so we all know the whole Millen thing was a circus. And that's a good thing because the Millen REGIME has been even worse.
But the funniest part of the whole thing?
The Lions just may have cost themselves a shot at the quarterback they needed to sign next year: Unrestricted free agent Jon Kitna.
Do you really think Kitna, an established veteran with just a few more years left in the tank who's probably looking to be on a contending team, would want to come here after bearing witness to THAT atmosphere yesterday??
Sure, the Lions might have a competent, offensive-minded coach in place by next year and some O-line help, but that certainly didn't help the Lions' chances of signing Kitna next season.
They might have to overpay him to get him to come.
Other options? Kurt Warner (ugh), Josh McCown (not good enough), Joey Harrington (probably too risky), Orlovsky (not ready), Garcia (hahaha).
Batch? I don't know, but Kitna was the best option...
It'll be interesting to see if he even considers the Lions now.

I also think Joey will succeed at some point, but I don't know if he has the respect of the Lions' locker room, plus he would cost a lot of money to keep around at this point.
I'd like to give him one last shot to compete with a veteran but it all depends on economics and what the team thinks of him. You here a lot of conflicting opinions on Joey: Bly hates him, Roy disliked him, now he seems to like him, etc.
But Kitna would be best!
