jahbonas Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 With so much invested in Josh Allen (7th pick overall and spending a few #2's to get there) why the following?? 1- We had no veteran QB dedicated to mentor - see Jets purposely signed 39yr old Josh Mccown for just that purpose to help their rookie. 2- We have a QB coach who has spent his entire NFL career as a Wide Receivers coach - WTF!!??? With all Pegulas money we dont surround Josh Allen with these critical teachers? How does this fit into the process? - It shows absolute zero respect for the QB position by just throw a WR coach at it Coach David CULLEY’S COACHING CAREER NFL Buffalo Bills 2017 – Quarterbacks coach Kansas City Chiefs 2013-16 Assistant Head Coach/Wide Receivers Coach Philadelphia Eagles 2011-12 Senior offensive assistant/wide receivers coach Philadelphia Eagles 1999-10 Wide receivers coach Pittsburgh Steelers 1996-98 Wide receivers coach Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1994-95 Wide receivers coach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Well, he has been a QB coach before. In college. During the Reagan Administration. (Seriously). But I hear he came highly recommended by Andy Reid.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Because we have a glorified gym teacher who is at best a good defensive coordinator running the team? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 If I had a gripe about something the front office is doing....it would be not getting the "sport car insurance" on the pick they made as their franchise QB (by that I mean finding a QB whisperer) I realize that Allen and Deboll are joined at the hip.......but now Deboll has a offense to worry about and another QB he has to get ready on game day.... This to me is needed......use every possible method to nurture this investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I’ve wondered about Culley also and why they wouldn’t take a look at bringing in someone like Palmer who JA already has trust in, to beef that part of the staff up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 He's a well respected coach around the league, despite not having much experience at QB coach specifically. I don't think he takes a job in Buffalo if it's not QB coach though. He wanted something new and saw it as a step towards further advancement.

Mrbojanglezs Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 This is the most alarming thing. Why draft a raw/high upside QB and not have the best coaches to coach him up. Whenever they show pictures or videos of practice. I never see David Culley looking like he's doing much coaching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of going into the college ranks for a creative Qb coach we use a WR coach from the NFL who will offer nothing new - it smacks of total focus on defense but blind to the offensive needs 6 minutes ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: He's a well respected coach around the league, despite not having much experience at QB coach specifically.

Why didnt we just sign a 'well respected' linebacker coach who maybe coached QBs in 1984 (when college football was 3 yrds and a cloud of dust) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahbonas Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 And keep in mind this WR coach was hired last year with Offensive Coordinator Dennison who was a flop - again what type of coaching was being received by our QBs last year?? Just mind boggling in this day and age to have such lackluster hiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 It doesn't show disrespect for the quarterback position; it shows ignorance and poor judgement. The latter is exemplified by the trade of McCarron prior to determining if Peterman was no longer prone to throw interceptions in regular season games. Allen should never have been put in the position he was in. In fact, he might still be healthy if better judgement had been used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Daboll = No history of developing young quarterback although does have history of failures which may or may not have been any of his fault. Culley = No history of developing young quarterback. Peterman = No history of helping young quarterback or really playing quarterback in this league, outside of briefly at its worst level. McCarron = No history of helping young quarterback, although has some knowledge of playing in the league and being directly around a smart veteran QB, but then they got rid of him before he could help Josh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this by a group who knew from day 1 they were gonna gather up draft picks so to trade up to get a franchise QB to be the key to everyones future - and you surround the kid with this staff?

It's a natural progression for a position coach to become a coordinator to become a head coach. It happens once in a while but it is not a natural progression to go from WR coach to QB coach, especially after a 30-year career. The 30 year part is unheard of.
