The Detroit Free Press reports nothing has happened in the first 14 practices to upset the Lions QBing hierarchy. QB Joey Harrington has gotten most of the snaps with the first offense; QB Jeff Garcia has gotten some with the first, some with the second. Both QBs have been OK overall, no better, no worse. But Friday night brings the exhibition opener against the Jets in New York, and the true competition begins. "We'll just let their performance dictate how that unfolds," OC Ted Tollner said. "Your hope is that the young up-and-coming guy blossoms into what you want him to be and he leads this franchise to victories for a number of years. That's what we're trying to make happen. But in the end, it has to happen."
