Don't forget the #Lions blocked Chicago's request to interview Jim Bob Cooter for their OC job this offseason. Think very highly of him.

That has nothing to do with anything besides the fact that his name is Jim Bob Cooter

Stafford is documented as to not taking coaching very well. He acts like a know it all which is probably why he has never taken the next step having a monster like Megatron to throw to. He isn't good enough & doesn't have the pelts on the wall to act like a diva.

Matthew Stafford is happy to be guru-free.

Asked this week if he'd be willing to work with a passing coach this offseason, the Detroit Lions quarterback shot the idea to the floor.

"Probably not," Stafford said, per Justin Rogers of MLive.com. "It's not something that I feel would be my style or beneficial to me."

Legions of NFL passers have toiled with coaches-for-hire like Steve Clarkson and George Whitfield to improve their play in between campaigns. Stafford, to the naked eye, appears ripe for tutoring after another season sideswiped by questionable mechanics and a 52.5 completion rate over his past seven starts.

Stafford heads into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings with 19 interceptions, one short from the career-worst 20 he tossed during his 2009 rookie campaign. Lions coach Jim Schwartz has repeatedly -- and maddeningly -- come to his quarterback's defense, insisting that Stafford's mechanics are clean. Too much game film suggests otherwise.

Stafford has piled up passing yardage again this season, but his recent starts have been hampered by sloppy throws. Multiple picks in four of his last five games have contributed to the Lions tumbling out of the NFC playoff picture.

With immense physical talents, Stafford looms as a player who could take the next step with proper coaching. He's not in a prime position to be turning down help from the masters.

“As a player and understanding how it goes, and understanding the caliber of player that Ndamukong is, you don’t table talks,” Jackson told the Detroit Free Press. “You keep them open until you figure something out. But I think the organization, from the front-office perspective, is very arrogant. And they’ve been known to do things like say we’re tabling discussions and things in that ballpark because of how they feel about themselves.”

Jackson added that Stafford gets away with being lazy because the team doesn’t demand otherwise. According to Jackson, the franchise quarterback should be leading by example, but in Detroit it was Suh and Calvin Johnson who did that.

“You see clips of Peyton Manning, however limited they are, you see him drilling his pocket presence, his footwork and different things like that,” Jackson said. “The time period I was out there [in Detroit], I didn’t see any consistent drills like that on a daily basis where he’s working on the drops and evading the rush and different things like that. . . . In my opinion, when you’re making that kind of money and you’re the face of the franchise, you put in work. And I don’t think that I was the only one to question that. When you see a guy like Calvin and Ndamukong working hard on a daily basis, doing extra stuff, and you don’t really see that from the quarterback, it’s like how can you be mad with the results? Because it’s not a high demand they’re placing on him for improvement.”

Cutler 2.0.

What a numb nuts.

The grass is greener right? He can stay there.

Caldwell should be fired before he gets on the plane.
