Campbell Demands Consistency from Lions QB Hopeful
28 Aug
Summary
- Coach Campbell seeks smart, consistent play from backup QB.
- Veteran Josh Dobbs is the other option for QB2 role.
- Rookie Luke Altmyer needs to show progress to secure spot.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has outlined clear expectations for rookie quarterback Luke Altmyer ahead of the preseason finale. Campbell is looking for consistent, smart football, emphasizing efficient offense and avoiding risky plays that could lead to turnovers. Altmyer is vying for the backup quarterback position against veteran Josh Dobbs.
Teddy Bridgewater's abrupt retirement earlier in August shifted the team's quarterback depth chart, leading to the acquisition of Dobbs and increased opportunities for Altmyer. While Campbell values Dobbs' decade of NFL experience, he also acknowledged that Altmyer's progress could earn him a roster spot if he shows significant improvement.
