ALLEN PARK, Mich. — You know when the light turns yellow as you're nearing a high-speed intersection? In that moment, you're faced with a decision: You can hit the brakes or stay on the gas (maybe even giving it a little more), trying to clear the intersection before the light goes red.
There's actually a name for this traffic conundrum drivers routinely face — the dilemma zone. It feels like an appropriate comparison for the decision the Detroit Lions are facing at the quarterback position.
The Lions have a quarterback, a proven winner, under contract for two more seasons. And all season, while assessing the situation, we've been riding the waves of recency bias, trying to figure out whether Jared Goff can be the franchise's long-term solution or simply the bridge to what's next.
