The QB Controversy Keeps Going At Lions Camp...And That's A Good Thing.

Head Coach Schwartz today (Aug 24) says that he will not reveal his decision at this time for starting Detroit Lions Starting QB. “I’ve mentioned this before: we’ll probably take a different approach in that fourth preseason game than other teams do. So it probably won’t be this week, we’ll see. The other thing is, from our standpoint, there may be even a point where we make a decision on a quarterback and we may not even announce it."

Schwartz goes on to say, "What good does it do? Understand from our standpoint with the Lions is, there is a team down in New Orleans that’s getting ready to play us and if they can zero in on one quarterback, it makes it a little easier for them to plan. If they have to prepare for both, then Daunte and Matthew both have a different skill set. They are both a little bit different the way you would game plan them. Most likely we’re trying to keep that a little close to the vest.

I have often wondered why a coach would name a player of a position in question, some things are better left unsaid, right?

WHAT'S YOUR TAKE?
