You keep making ridiculous false comparisons.

How does this thread have so many pages!? How much discussion could this topic possibly bring?


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.

All that "person" ever did in college,or the the NFL was suck.

 

it's not as personal as you imply.

Like comparing one of the most successful coaches of all time to someone who's never had a job in the NFL?   :w00t:

 

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.

And I don't see why a failed QB who's never held a 'coaching' job with any pro team should be molding my franchise QB.

 

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.

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.

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.

Josh doesn't need a teacher.  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.

It's funny. Allen seemed to improve greatly under Palmer between the Senior Bowl and training camp with the Bills.

But I'm sure you know better. Because, ya know, no former bad or mediocre NFL player has ever gone on to succeed as a coach or anything ?

One of the most myopic takes in TBD history. Congrats!

 

Oh, and Belichick got his start breaking down game film for his dad at the Naval Academy as a 10 year old. He was a football prodigy for crissakes.

Are you really this bad,  or do you enjoy making my points for me?

....almost there 

you almost got to the point of the article below. 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.

Rodgers was very unhappy about him not being renewed and felt he should be involved in decision.

Who's nonsense?  -Your nonsense?

 

All I wanted was a coach who's actually coached somewhere before.   -Someone with a point of reference besides their own terrible career.

Arguments against honest work? WTF are you referring to? I certainly didn’t imply Belichick didn’t work hard for everything he earned along the way, just that he “started” his career in football as a child breaking down game film for and assisting his dad in game plans, etc. I thought my intent was obvious. You just missed it. 

 

But back to the point; that is your take on Palmer’s ability as an instructor of QB fundamentals is absurd, lacks any factual insight, and contradicts what his own clients have stated. 

 

But perhaps the biggest laugher was your asinine suggestion that if Palmer were so good, he’d be a coach in the league. He’s making hundreds of thousands of dollars preparing QBs for the combine and the leadup to the draft as well as having several clients that continue to work with him after their careers have begun. Becoming a coach would mean an astronomical cut in pay. Why would he even entertain the idea?

Are you simple?  NFL coaches can't have coach players outside of minicamps, OTA's, and training camp.  So if you think Josh should be working with an NFL coach, he can't for another 4 months.

Bill Belichick started his coaching career as an assistant making 25 bucks a week.  It was a real coaching job in the NFL.  Something Palmer has yet to pull off.

No one has made that comparison. The only point people have made involving Belichick is that you don't have to of been a great NFL QB to be a good QB coach.

Omg. What a thread.  

 

May I offer my 2 cents 

 

1) if someone post something that is offensive and or insulting and false 

Use the report features 

 

2) If you don’t want to “snitch “Use the ignore user feature.  

 

3) if you still harbor bad feelings from BBMB 

Get over it and use #2

Belichick:

Coached 42 years, for 7 pro teams, won 2 superbowls as a coordinator, and 5 superbowls as head coach.

 

Jordan Palmer:

7-year NFL QB who started 0 games, and racked up 11 career completions.

 

Hint:  One's a real coach, the other's just a failed QB looking for work.

 

 

 

 

HINT: You helped make my point. You don't have to be a good player to be a good coach, ie: Belichek. I never argued PAlmer is a good coach. I myself, like everyone on this board, have no clue what type of coach he is. Just because he is not coaching on a team at any level doesn't prove a damn thing. Maybe he enjoys running his own company, not spending 20 hrs a day coaching/preparing, etc... Hell, he probably makes more money coaching players in the off-season than he would as a QB coach for an NFL team.

I have long been a proponent of putting Reich on the payroll... You see the effect he's had as a coach in places like PHI, SDG, and now IND.  -Taking a 1-5 team to the playoffs with a QB many thought was done.  -Classic Reich comeback.  OBD should have pursued him with more fervor.

 

Bottom line:   Jordan Palmer STILL does not have the coaching credentials I'd need to be happy about him working with my rookie.   His marginal pro career is the only credential in a resume devoid of verified NFL coaching experience.

 

To your assertion that he's helped Josh with mechanics, I can only say that Josh could have gone to any number of sources for that assistance. -Including YouTube!

There are literally guys on the street that could have helped Josh with his mechanics.  Until I see what we have in September, I'm not willing to credit Palmer with anything.

 

IMO, Allen is too valuable not to have consistent, in-season, coaching and development.

Maybe you should look at who posts what, because you only quoted me once, but then said, "you clearly picked up when you said:" Umm... that wasn't my post you attributed me to.

 

Anyways, ok whatever, don't use Belicheck then. Shall we begin naming the COUNTLESS NFL coaches that were not good players or perhaps that ones that never played a single down of football outside of college:

 

Jeff Garrett

Gary Kubiak

Doug Pederson

Sean Payton

Mike McCoy

Jay Gruden

Jim Caldwell

Pete Carroll

Mike Tomlin

Marvin Lewis

Bruce Arians

John Fox

Andy Reid

Mike McCarthy

Dan Quinn

John Harbaugh

Chip Kelly

 

 

These are just a list of people that made it to the head coach position. Some were good HC's some weren't, but were great positional coaches and got the chance. They all have the same thing in common, they were not good players at the NFL level, some didn't even play in the NFL.
