Yah. -And I'm pretty sure that comparing the two is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking this exact thing. WTF How could anyone view the Bills quarterback putting in extra work in the offseason as a bad thing? Just because they don't like the person with whom said QB has chosen to train?! Some people could kvetch about a free lunch. Sheesh.

The point people were making was that he didn't need to of been a great NFL player to be a good coach. Which seems to be important to you even though we can probably find a lot of other examples of bad players good coaches. 6 minutes ago, #34fan said: All that "person" ever did in college,or the the NFL was suck. it's not as personal as you imply.

Yah... Possibly even getting worse. I sense trolling in our future..... So your take is that our 1st year QB should be working out with Belichick? Where do we even begin to address this line of solid reasoning? 1. If you are not just trolling for the kicks,(there is waay to much negative in your posts). You realize that many NFL players participate in private training camps in the off-season - this us nothing new. If they feel it helps their game they stay with it. Darnold, Allen, and Watson feels his program helps their game. There you go. 2. It does not take successful QBs to make good coaches. In fact, being good decision makers and judges of talent may have nothing to do with an individual's career success. AKA John Elway running the Broncos org and every QB they have into the artificial turf. 3. Even a cursory search on the subject disproves your passionately misguided thoughts on the subject. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2019/1/14/18180443/bengals-head-coach-nfl-head-coaches-quarterbacks-la-rams-zac-taylor 4. Alex VanPelt - warmly regarded in his time with the Bills as the Pill as he was shaped like the Pillsbury Doughboy. He could read defenses, knew exactly where to go with the ball, and would throw some of the ugliest wounded duck passes you ever saw. Been a successful QB coach for years, part of the Green Bay coaching exit in 2018, picked up by the Bengals new staff.

A 100% straw-man point considering no one said you needed to be. What I'd prefer, (for my 1st round QB) is someone with a track record of success coaching in the league. -However small. Get a job. -Assisting... Coaching... Something... Palmer's crap career is only relevant because it's his only professional credential... A fact that should worry those interested in Allen's development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer's crap career is only relevant because it's his only professional credential... A fact that should worry those interested in Allen's development. He's had this job for several years now and has been hired repeatedly by some of the top QB prospects of each draft. I mean I've also brought up that after working with him Allen's mechanics actually seemed to improve but you just seem to like to ignore that point.

He needs a coach. I mean I suppose you didn't specifically say you had to of been a good NFL QB but I'd say you at least heavily implied it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was that there are plenty of successful coaches that were no great shakes as former QB's, or career backups: "Other former quarterbacks or quarterbacks coaches who are active head coaches are Freddie Kitchens, Matt Nagy, Frank Reich, Kyle Shanahan, Bruce Arians, Jay Gruden, Adam Gase and Kliff Kingsbury." so I am kind of done with your nonsense. 13 minutes ago, #34fan said: Edited January 26, 2019 by WideNine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
