The main benefit of the Lions signing Jake Fromm is he's a quick learner, who should help the Lions get through the pre-season game in Kansas City and possibly the pre-season finale vs. Pittsburgh.

Jake Fromm probably doesn't have the upside to be a viable # 2 QB on a winning team. He's the type of QB who should be a Practice Squad option for the Lions, not someone on the 53 man roster.

Don't expect Jake Fromm to play for the Lions vs. the Steelers

Because Jake Fromm will have familiarity with the Lions Offensive system, he would be a viable Practice Squad option for the Lions. Fromm provides roster flexibility. If the Lions release Nate Sudfeld and ends up signing with another team, Fromm would provide the Lions with insurance.

Jake Fromm should have had a TD pass but RB Jake Funk didn't hold on to what would have been a TD reception on a 3rd Down play. That's a ball Funk needed to catch.

Though I have more confidence in Jake Fromm than in Nate Sudfeld, if called upon in a regular season game (s), I'm not optimistic about the Lions brass feeling similarly.

Realistically, the best case outcome for Fromm with the Lions this week is he ends up on the Lions PS.
