- Rotoworld ranked the biggest coaching change winners from this year, and Matthew Stafford came in at No. 5 on the list. Why? Well, Rotoworld explains that Stafford "projects to be more efficient under the new regime." I can't disagree. Between Jim Caldwell, Joe Lombardi and Jim Bob Cooter, Stafford should be a much improved quarterback in 2014.
- Speaking of quarterback efficiency, former Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo rated every quarterback from the 2013 season. Peyton Manning topped the list with a 9.0, and Stafford checked in with a 7.9 (the same rating as Matt Ryan, Tony Romo and Jay Cutler).
- Remember the awesomely awful Stafford shirt we brought to your attention last week? Well, this is a pretty hilarious development:
Yes, the makers of the shirt simply put Stafford's head on Drew Brees' body and changed the colors. It's impressive how bad this shirt is, and that is what really makes it so awesome.Does this make the shirt even better? Hell yes, it does. pic.twitter.com/ear6uoeqem
