00:00Campbell did go on to call the backup quarterback
00:03spot a competition
00:05Said that Nate Sudfeld is here for a reason
00:08They will both rotate taking snaps with the twos and the threes and by the end of camp
00:14They need to know who their number two is so that's the latest on Hendon hooker any thoughts
00:19Well, I I would expect that there'd have to be competition for that second spot that only makes sense to me
00:26that they have
00:27competition there
00:29And the thought was Sudfeld. Is it okay?
00:33Why he may have a leg up. He's been in the system
00:36He's been able to practice which is something that hooker was not able to do. He wasn't able to practice
00:42so I
00:44Think you always want to have somebody that knows the system knows what he's supposed to do
00:48and if he and if he can if he knows all that has all that knowledge, but maybe just lacks the
00:53The athletic ability to be a starting quarterback in the league
00:57I mean that that's it's there's something to be said for for having the familiarity and that there will be a competition in the end
01:04I still hope that and expect hooker to
01:07To work out as being the better option as the backup quarterback
01:12I mean ideally they invested a third round pick in a guy and you hope you hope all your draft picks worked out in
01:18Hendon hookers case
01:20There is a facet
01:22I think a small facet of the Lions fan base that wants to see him get like in-game regular snaps take some away from golf
01:29I think it's a very small group and I think it's a group that values and look if this is your value system I
01:36Guess more power to you
01:38But if they value mobility
01:40More than the golf has and they want to see a quarterback that's mobile
01:44We get those calls every once while people saying you have to have a mobile quarterback to win in the NFL
01:48If you aren't mobile you better be as accurate as golf has proven to be in this offense and
01:55And they've won with that and I don't mean to rekindle the this
01:59Which I'm exactly doing
02:03Let's get to your phone calls we go to
