DETROIT � Lions coach Jim Schwartz said he is no closer to naming a starting quarterback after Saturday night�s 27-10 exhibition loss at Cleveland.

Rookie Matthew Stafford struggled. Veteran Daunte Culpepper was solid, though he didn�t lead the Lions to a score, either.
The two continued to split reps in practice Monday.
�We still have a long way to go,� Schwartz said. �I�ve never put a timetable on it. . . . We�re just going to keep on evaluating.�
Schwartz said he could decide on a starter as soon as this week or as late as after the fourth exhibition, Sept. 3 at Buffalo. Whenever he decides, he might keep it quiet.
�It probably won�t be this week, but we�ll see,� Schwartz said. �And the other thing is, from our standpoint, it may be even a point where we make a decision on a quarterback and we may not even announce it.�
The Lions open the season Sept. 13 at New Orleans.
�There�s a team down in New Orleans that�s getting ready to play us,� Schwartz said. �If they can zero in on one quarterback, it makes it a little easier for them to play. ...
�Mostly likely we�ll try to just keep that a little bit close to the vest.�
