A paid off Hooker on Plan B?

It’s as if no Lions fan ever paid attention to Aaron Rogers and Jordan Love.
Rodgers wasn’t good enough to unseat Farve.
Love wasn’t good enough to unseat Rodgers.
Both sat for years!
Right now, they’re pushing Hooker, who is essentially a rookie.
All reports from open practice today say Hooker looks like trash
“Hooker has a third-round pedigree, but he’s 26 and still in the learning stages of the No. 2 role, fresh off a “redshirt” season spent recovering from a torn ACL. Heinicke is a different animal, starting 28 games the last three years and showcasing enough spunk as a gutsy passer to win over multiple fan bases. He’d be sure to get the Dan Campbell stamp of approval for his never-say-die mentality, and his role is fuzzier with the Atlanta Falcons after the dual addition of Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr.”
-Cody Benjamin, CBS Sports
Heinicke started four games for the Falcons last year when Desmond Ridder got benched. He started 24 games over the previous two seasons with Washington, most notably starting 15 games and leading four game-winning drives in 2021. At the end of the 2020 season, he started a playoff game for Washington and topped 300 passing yards as they narrowly lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Buccaneers.
