At least one member of the Detroit media has called Detroit's quarterback competition in favor of rookie Matthew Stafford. Here's what Tom Kowalski of Mlive.com posted late Saturday:
"Stafford isn't perfect, and he's going to make plenty of mistakes as he develops, but the first overall pick in the draft is showing he's the real deal. The Lions aren't saying anything publicly because they have nothing to gain by making an announcement in the next week or two. But trust me, when the scouts and coaches watch the practice tape every night, they're grinning from ear to ear."
Kowalski writes that his opinion is not so much based on a negative evaluation of Daunte Culpepper as it is the confidence and poise of the 21-year-old Stafford.
It's probably a little early for the Lions to make any final decisions. Preseason games are better indicators of how players react in pressure situations. But if nothing else, Stafford is giving the Lions plenty to think about.
