Altmyer’s Final Shot for Backup QB Spot | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions are at a crossroads with their QB backup spot—undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer must prove he’s the smarter, more consistent choice over veteran Josh Dobbs in the preseason finale. Head coach Dan Campbell wants Altmyer to play it safe and efficient, not flashy, as he battles for the No. 2 job behind Jared Goff. Despite shaky moments and interceptions earlier, Altmyer showed flashes of promise and has a solid college track record. With Teddy Bridgewater’s retirement opening the door for Dobbs, Campbell admits experience matters—but still leaves the door open for Altmyer if he steps up. One game could decide who backs up the Lions’ franchise quarterback. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
