Detroit Lions - Team Notes

IS JIM CALDWELL'S JOB SAFE?
The Lions dropped from a 2014 wild-card team to 7-9 in Caldwell's second season. Adam Caplan writes that Caldwell should be able to at least finish out his contract, which runs through 2017.

LITTLE MORE RESPECT FOR TATE, SLAY?
Field Yates identifies Golden Tate as the most underrated offensive player in the NFL. Matt Bowen tabs Darius Slay as the most underrated on defense. Most overrated and underrated teams, players.

Shaun Hill left the Lions in free agency before 2014 in part to be closer to home. If he had stayed in Detroit, he would have had no chance of starting with Matthew Stafford the incumbent.
Since then, he started eight games for St. Louis in 2014 and is slated to start in Minnesota due to Teddy Bridgewater's season-ending injury.
Hill started 10 games in Detroit in 2010 when Stafford was injured and actually threw the pass that ended up creating the 'Calvin Johnson rule.'
