Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter wasn't interested in giving a public appraisal of Matthew Stafford's play this season.
"That's Detroit Lions information," he said Tuesday when asked about his quarterback, per Kyle Meinke of MLive.com.
Detroit's 3-6 record doesn't reflect particularly well on any of its players or coaches. The 30-year-old Stafford has had an uneven season, throwing for 2,385 yards, 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing 66.8 percent of his passes. His 93.8 passer rating ranks 17th among QB qualifiers.
Stafford himself acknowledged that he needs to play better for the Lions down the stretch.
