Comment () | Share: Lions | Matthew Stafford had a lot on his plate Fri, 09 Jan 2015 09:49:42 -0800 Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford handled himself well despite all of the things offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi threw at him in their first season together. "Looking back, I kind of try to drop maybe some responsibilities on him that maybe a quarterback like Drew (Brees) didn't get until four years into the system in New Orleans," Lombardi said. "We asked a lot of him and he responded. There is a tax when you ask a quarterback maybe to do that much and the more comfortable he gets the lower that tax will be." Injuries and an inconsistent offensive line led Lombardi to give Stafford more responsibilities than he initially intended. Stafford's 12 interceptions was a career low, and he finished the season with a 60.3 completion percentage, which was the second highest mark in his career. His 4,257 yards were the fifth most in team history. Fantasy Tip: Stafford had his ups and downs this year, but he excelled late in the season against mediocre defenses. He should be just as good, if not better, in his second season working with Lombardi in 2015.

Suh could count more than $35.7 million against the salary cap for 2015 if he receives one of the tags.
