With less then a week before the 2009 NFL season kicks off, two quarterback competitions were still under way.
One of these battles was the Detroit Lions, who were win less a year ago.
Originally thought as Dante Culpepper's job to lose, Matthew Stafford made an impression in the preseason, and made the battle closer then expected, especially with Culpepper playing at a solid level.
The Lions, however, decided they needed to begin the era of Matt Stafford, by giving him the keys to the Detroit Lions.
According to a report, the team has named Stafford as the starting quarterback, who will make his first start in a regular season game against the New Orleans Saints.
This only leaves the Cleveland Browns as the team who has not made a decision on their quarterback situation yet.
