Well, well, well. Several teams around the league have seen their quarterbacks go down in the last couple weeks and they have no capable backups.
The Lions have the best backup in football in Shaun Hill. He's old, but has performed very well in the last 4 years when called upon. He could be a very nice 2-year solution for several teams while they draft/sign/heal their QB of the future.
Who should be the trading partners? What should the Lions ask? Candidates:
St. Louis Rams - They have a good defense and some youth, but Sam Bradford wasn't the answer before he went down for the year and Kellen Clemens is a joke. I'd ask for a third for Hill and they should pay it if they want to keep developing their youth and have a placeholder until they can get a true starting QB.
Minnesota Vikings - they obviously are scrambling for anything that can throw a football and so far their options suck. Again Hill would provide a great bridge to a real QB. In the division I'd want a second for him, though.
Chicago Bears - Not as urgent since McCown looked every bit as good as Cuntler, but if McCown were a real QB he'd be on a team other than the Bears. See above for price within the division.
Tampa Bay - Mike Glennon? Really? If the coach wants to save his job, he needs QB help right now. I'd ask a second here since they should be desperate unless they're ready to admit failure and blow it up.
