Lions linebacker Zack Follett referred to quarterback Matthew Stafford as a "china doll" in an interview on Tuesday. Stafford has missed 19 games in his two NFL season, more than the 13 he's played in for Detroit. Asked what he thinks of Stafford, Follett said he is "a china doll right now." "Stafford, good guy," Follett said. "He's a china doll right now. Anytime he gets hit, he goes down. But the kid is -- hopefully, it's just patiently waiting for him, because the kid is an awesome talent. He has a tremendous arm. The throws that he makes during practice when no one can touch him, he looks like an All-American quarterback, but put him in a game, and you hit his shoulder. So hopefully, say a couple prayers, keep him healthy next year, and the Lions can do some damage in the NFC." After his radio interview, Follett spoke with the Detroit Free-Press and said the term "china doll" was a poor choice of words.
