Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said he was stunned by the firing of coach Jim Schwartz and disappointed that Detroit's entire offensive staff was let go, reports MLive.com. "I'll miss him a ton," Stafford said of offensive coordinator Scott Linehan.
"He, (quarterback coach Todd Downing), and really all the guys on offense, we did a lot of really good things here. In five years, set a bunch of records and played some of the best offensive football this franchise has ever seen."
Stafford was brutal in Detroit's 1-6 finish, throwing 10 touchdowns and committing 14 turnovers.
