NickelCity Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We all know Allen has things to work on, and he seemed eager to meet them head on for the draft process. We've currently got David Culley, whose background is famously at a different position - wide receiver. Do you guys expect us to bring in an additional coach or mentor? If so, who do you have in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nero1 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Didn't Arians say he would like to work with Allen, or was it Jackson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Mueller Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I doubt that they'll do it... but it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB12 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Too bad offensive guru Chip Kelly is otherwise committed at U.C.L.A. Yes, admittedly, he may have not been as successful as a pro coach, but he has the tools to bring players in the QB position up to speed and then some.

Mr. ChumChums Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We have a QB coach in David Culley, who spent his career working with Andy Reid with the Eagles and Chiefs. He should do just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We have Dave Culley. While not experienced with QBs, he does have Andy Reid's seal of approval . Culley has a lot to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the coaching staff determines that Allen needs to change his mechanics, they should bring in a coach to specifically work with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimebillsfan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 This is a great question. I have been concerned that we do not have the coach(s) on the staff that have experience in developing a young qb. Let's hope that Allen is given the coaching he needs to reach his potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about with the team? 16 minutes ago, Mr. ChumChums said: We have a QB coach in David Culley, who spent his career working with Andy Reid with the Eagles and Chiefs. He should do just fine. Right, but as mentioned he's always been a WR guy. I happen to think Allen actually is quite accurate when his footwork is right, and it's a matter of building that into a habit. A QB coach with a WR background probably does many things well, but I think it's fair to be concerned about mechanics work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how involved a WR coach like Culley is in working with QBs like McNabb and Smith? Honestly curious. I expect that all offensive coaches have a solid understanding of QB fundamentals, to some extent - but does a transition from WR coach to QB coach happen often?

The guy should have a human shadow who does everything with him all day long and doesn't limit his mentoring to just mechanics and reading defenses. Someone to teach Allen to keep calm, try to keep his confidence up, teach him a strong worth ethic and the importance of staying an hour extra to look at a bit more film or whatever, and so on. This is an example where Pegula's money and interest in spending it can really help the team. Not every team is going to go out and pay a guy to fill a slot totally dedicated to a single player who is not even a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 To me the answer is Rob Chudzinski. He should be brought in as an offensive assistant just to work with Culley and work on Allen only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
