First off, I think he's probably happy with his life.  Less accountability, less travel, rent paid for on a house on Capistrano Beach

 

Second and more important, someone pointed out that under the CBA, the strict limits on player-coach contact outside the season would make it impossible for him to continue to work with Josh Allen next offseason.  If they have a successful and helpful working relationship, might not be the wise thing to bust that up.

Pay Palmer thru a "shell company" in the Bahama's.

All the other corporations do it.

I'd love it, but as other have mentioned, it doesn't make sense for Jordan. I do think we need someone who can keep on Allen about mechanics on a day-to-day level. Maybe Culley is that, but I'm not terribly confident given that he's always been a WR guy.

He probably makes more coaching up QB prospects and doesn't have to live the nomadic life of a position coach.  He just had 2 students drafted in the Top 10.  That's the best advertisement that his clinic can have.

Oh ok thanks for filling me in on the CBA. I guess the real question should be: Would Palmer be more effective as an offseason guru than a QB coach asst or personal trainer during the season? I'm not saying that Palmer is QB coach material but he seems to favour Allen over Darnold and apparently Allen grew by miles under Palmer's tutelage.

I think that would be awesome.

 

But he's carved out a nice little niche for himself. Every year he's working with one of the top QBs in the Draft. This year he had two. He's being recognized as the go-to guy come Draft time. 

 

I wouldn't give that gig up.

McBeane always goes on about the Pegula resource centre. They could make him an offer he couldn't refuse. Furthermore, It wouldn't stop Palmer from making bank doing that gig during the offseason. Would it in terms of CBA Hapless Bills Fan?

Why would he give up a niche that he works so hard to create? Just to go on one team? I don't think so because then, like the bills front office, he's hanging his hat and his future solely on Josh Allen.

One year deal only

We have yet to see Allen take an NFL snap; how do we know if Palmer's any good? 

 

From Palmer's website:  "NFL Draft prep has allowed me to train some of the top guys the past 3 years such as Blake Bortles, Keith Price, Sean Mannion and Christian Hackenberg."  

 

Not exactly a murderers' row of QBs.

I get the enjoying what you do but it depends on how much he's paid.  Do you think Darnold and Allen even paid him 25K each?  I mean how much can that cost?

It was three months - every day, all day. It's probably more like $100k/guy.

I read an article where the Bills said Daboll and Culley will be his primary day to day coaches and Palmer can be a mentor on the side if he wants

 

 

...it may be more beneficial to free lance as needed versus being tied down to day to day rigors of  a QB Coach...he's a big boy that can make that call....

That makes a lot of sense.  The CBA does seem to cramp development by limiting interaction.

Not sure if this has been floated yet, but I would like to know about how TBD feels about Jordan Palmer. 

 

 

Would love it, but Jordan stated on NFL radio - he was happy doing what he is doing.

 

I don’t think he wants to take on the year round rigors of a coaching position.

 

He makes great money working a couple of months with these guys and is becoming a go to guy - especially after Darnold’s Pro Day where everyone was raving about how Palmer put together his throws to highlight skill and minimize mistakes.

Why oh why does everyone think this guy is some kind of QB whisperer?

 

 

Cuz he whispered to every GM that ROSEN is Ricky Schroeder on the inside...my guess is he quits before getting injured repeatedly to the tune of his new mentor. Hopefully ol' Sammy B doesn't teach Rosen how to be unavailable to play due to injury. BOOM SHAKALAKKA!!!! #silverspoons #joshandbrad4eva

This is really a good idea... you should call Howard & Jeremy with this one. Or get at Sal & see if he can suggest it to Beane or someone in the building.

Might be a dumb question. Someone tell my why his career in the NFL never really took off? I dont know much about him. Did he just overall lack the talent? I see he had some good size.

Some people aren't good in the NFL but they just understand the game or positions so well, they'll make an excellent coach. Like our guy, Frank Reich... or Alex Van Pelt

Excellent points, especially about the house on the beach ....why would he want to move to Buffalo?

Yeah....need someone to teach running out of the back of the end zone.  That kind of unawareness doesn't come naturally.

You're right, let's go with the guy that threw a whopping 18 NFL passes in his career... For 0 TDs and 2 INTs, no less...
