Top 50 Position Battles: Orlovsky vs. Stanton
Now I know how Bill Simmons felt when he realized that his Top 72 Sports Movie Countdown was more than he could handle. Okay, so I’m not enormously talented, voraciously read, and oddly despised by a large segment of the population that does said voracious reading.
But I do want to get through these position battles before I die or training camp gets rolling, whichever comes first. So we’re going to start cranking through quick versions the next few days.

#35. Lions backup QB: Dan Orlovsky vs. Drew Stanton
Jon Kitna is durable, but I saw him get slammed to the Ford Field turf way too much last season to assume he’ll stay healthy all season. Great things are expected from Stanton, but he has a long way to go according to summer reports. Orlovsky is the favorite early in the year, but Stanton appears more likely to take over for Kitna late in the year if the Lions are out of contention.
Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams owners better hope Kitna can stay upright.

Kitna is my dark horse. The Battles write up is good. Probably will change alot once camp opens.

kitna can't really be called a dark horse... half the fantasy world is betting he has a good year.
