ESPN: Lions have fourth best QB situation in NFL

ALLEN PARK -- How confident are you in the Detroit Lions' quarterback situation?

If you're ESPN, the answer is very.

The Mothership released its latest QB Confidence Index, which is a measure of each team's situation at the position, both now and into the future. So it's more than a mere ranking of starting quarterbacks, taking into account factors like availability, age, backups, etc.

And they ranked the Lions fourth in the league, trailing only New England, Green Bay and Atlanta -- and ahead of teams like Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Indianapolis and Seattle, who have some pretty good quarterbacks too.
