Remember Rote

      Bobby Layne, and Matthew Stafford are often mentioned when football fans talk about the greatest Detroit Lions Quarterbacks of all time.  Some Lions fans will even bring up former players like Scott Mitchell, Erik Kramer, and Greg Landry.  Rarely does Tobin Rote get credit for being one of the greatest Detroit Lions Quarterbacks of all time.
     Tobin Rote played Quarterback for the Detroit Lions from 1957-1959.  Rote split time at Quarterback with Bobby Layne during the 1957 season, and eventually took over the role when Bobby Layne was injured towards the end of the regular season.  Rote lead Detroit to the 1957 NFL (National Football League) Championship Game where the Lions defeated the Cleveland Browns 59-14.  Detroit traded away an aging Bobby Layne early in the 1958 season partly because the Lions believed in Tobin Rote's ability.  Rote played the game ahead of his time, and was a weapon as a runner.  The Detroit Lions released Tobin Rote following the 1959 NFL season.
