Who Should I Start? Nate Sudfeld or Drew Lock

Friday, August 9, 3:30 AM

Detroit Lions quarterback Nate Sudfeld completed just 13 of 24 passes for 96 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception during Thursday's preseason opener against the New York Giants. He also rushed three times for an additional 14 yards on the ground. The 30-year-old played most of the game, only ceding reps to Hendon Hooker (head) in the third quarter. (Hooker departed after two drives and entered concussion protocol, bringing Sudfeld back into the game.) Neither player led a touchdown drive, and while Hooker was quite impressive on the ground, his new injury could give Sudfeld the early advantage in the fight to be Jared Goff's backup. If Hooker is expected to miss time, Detroit could add another quarterback to compete with Sudfeld ahead of the 2024 campaign.

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock, not Daniel Jones, will serve as the backup to new starter Tommy Devito for the team's Week 12 contest versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coming out of their Week 11 bye, head coach Brian Daboll announced on Monday that the team is making the switch from Jones to DeVito as the starter under center. There's a chance that Jones never makes another start for the G-Men after another disastrous season in 2024. There's also a good chance that we see Lock take over for DeVito at some point before the end of the year. The 28-year-old former second-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2019 out of Missouri has gone 3-for-8 for six yards in two games for New York this year. He had a spirited performance in one of his stars for the Seahawks in 2023 but would be nothing more than a desperation low-end QB2 if he makes any starts for New York this year.
