No, there isn’t a quarterback controversy for the Detroit Lions — thankfully. No matter how much some folks may want one — the kind of folks who also enjoy rubbernecking at an accident site, for example, or sneaking through someone else’s medicine cabinet.

The Detroit Lions are on the clock. The countdown began Friday in Allen Park, on the practice fields outside the team’s headquarters, where the team’s rookies, and free-agent rookie signings, slipped on their jerseys, helmets and worked through some drills.
