... Whether QB or WR... he was great for Allen’s development 

which begs the question, why did we let him leave? did we even have an opportunity to retain him? did he believe he would be better suited to work with Jackson? was working with Roman too enticing to pass up?

 

something sure seems odd here.

Football coaches are football coaches. You go with the money. He was a QB coach who turned WR coach

 

Culley is an offensive football coach. He knows plenty about the QB position ... it’s not like he was a DB specialist 

 

Andy Reid is a “QB guru” who never played QB... was an oline coach by trade and then QB coach for a few seasons ... he knows how to coach offense

 

Every single person around Culley vouches that he’s an amazing coach. Whether QB or WR... he was great for Allen’s development 

 

Was he?

 

How do you know?

 

Maybe you're right, but he was our QB coach for the last 2 years and it didn't seem like Culley was responsible for much production from the position.

 

I don't think it was coincidental that Allen's improvements coincided with our acquisition of Anderson off the street and Allen getting the opportunity to be on the bench for a while.

 

You might be right, but I just don't know why you assume he was great for Allen's development or why he isn't relatively easily up-gradable as a QB coach.

Maybe our qbs just weren’t good.  It strikes me as people blaming TR for our crappy receivers.  

 

Know who a good qb coach is?  Whoever the Saints, Chiefs, and Pats have!

Buffalo Bills in need of new quarterbacks coach as Ravens poach David Culley

McDermott’s hiring of Culley in 2017 for his original Bills’ staff was always met with a bit of curiosity because he had never coached quarterbacks in the NFL.

Culley spent the first 23 years of his NFL coaching career teaching wide receivers with the Steelers, Eagles and Chiefs. He and McDermott spent several years together on the Philadelphia staff of Andy Reid, so familiarity was one of the reasons he was brought to Buffalo, but putting him in charge of quarterbacks seemed odd.

 

Allen often spoke highly of Culley, but Allen was a rookie who spoke highly of everyone. Perhaps Culley helped Allen, but this seems like a great opportunity for McDermott to hire a true quarterbacks coach to take a deeper dive with the first-round pick.

 

One candidate could be Jordan Palmer, who helped Allen in the lead-up to the 2018 draft and will be working with him over the next couple months in Southern California. However, Palmer has his own quarterback-training business, Summit QB, and he may not be interested in working with a specific team.

 

Another name worth considering is Jim Bob Cooter, the former offensive coordinator in Detroit who worked on the same Kansas City Chiefs staff as Brian Daboll in 2012. That year when Daboll was the offensive coordinator, Cooter was a quality control coordinator.

 

And one more possibility would be former University of Miami quarterback Ken Dorsey. He is the offensive coordinator at Appalachian State, but was on the Carolina Panthers staff with McDermott as quarterbacks coach from 2013-17.

Haha, they are using Peterman!!! Maybe the 5th round qb just sucks! We also forced TT into a west coast offense which many posters here knew was a disaster.  And Allen was a 56% passer in the MEC.  Kinda reaching for reasons to hate on DC. I mean if he struggled with Rodgers, that’s something different.

Josh McDaniels didn't develop Brady and Joe Lombardi didn't develop Brees.

I say back up the brinks truck and get Tony Romo. The guy proves Everytime he is calling a game he understands the game on a entirely different level. I know it's a pipe dream but hey it's the internet a guy can dream.

 

...and I would say you're nuts...CBS currently pays him $4 mil and the competition is hot on his tail...CBS is preparing a massive raise package that will meet or exceed the $6.5 mil Gruden was getting paid.....so you think a QB Coach at OBD would get paid MORE than your GM and HC combined?...seriously?............
