A guy with proven success. And it is definitely a guy who would take the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I threw Rob Chudzinski's name out there in the Palmer thread as a guy with McDermott connections who was good for Cam Newton. I really like the idea of Dorsey. I think he'd be a great fit with Josh Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Allen is still viewed as raw and Lawrence is considered a lock to be the top pick in the draft. How much is anyone really going to attribute that to Streeter? If he comes in and Allen has a great season, he's on the fast track. If you believe in Allen, you strongly consider the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think that they even have to ask for that but the other team can't reasonably withhold permission if it's for HC.

Admittedly, I’m hesitate on Allen because of the way this franchise has handled young QBs in the past. They gave EJ the Cuse first time OC as both his OC and QB coach his rookie year. Allen needs good coaching around him. I think they screwed up last year when they kept only Peterman. I’m also not sold on Daboll and think we could easily upgrade that. But the QB coach should be a huge priority for such a raw guy. Agree with a lot but I think youre wrong on Daboll. The Pats had him tabbed as McDaniels replacement. He also demonstrated the ability to adapt both at Bama and last season in Buf. As we know all to well a lot of coordinators cant do that.

There is not much downside in either... developing Allen would be a positive for any coach but Lawrence wasn’t a top choice lock coming into his true Freshmen season... even if he was the best recruit in the country his college career could not have panned out... it happens... I didn’t think that would happen but it does.... Instead Streeter was his primary recruiter and locked at his hip all year and now Lawrence is the top choice lock and Streeter is looking like a future HC he definitively deserves credit for keeping Lawrence so calm and collected all year and he also helped Deshaun Watson whatever he does his track record is very good rn Edited January 30, 2019 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what I'm saying career wise is that it would be a higher risk/higher reward thing taking the Buffalo job. He may very well prefer college for all I know.

This kind of makes me think this was an agreed upon thing by the Bills! Or Culley read the tea leaves and figure Palmer is the guy Allen is getting his direction from not him.

Just because the league considers it “lateral” in terms of what the current team is able to block, doesn’t it make it any less of an opportunity for growth for Culley Edited January 30, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 2 positions available - WR coach and QB coach, both of which he’s already done. They certainly could have blocked it, but no reason to block a guy from a promotion. McD knew he had aspirations beyond QB coach when he hired him, and Culley gave him 2 years. Edited January 30, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folz Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 For those who say the move doesn't help Culley's chances of becoming a head coach, think about this... Josh made big improvements as the season went on this year, so Culley can take (at least partial) credit for that. And if Josh keeps getting better, well he helped lay the foundation. If Josh doesn't improve, well, it's because he left. And now he moves on to a team with another young, raw QB. Jackson may or may not become a franchise QB, but if he improves his passing under Culley (which he should at least to some extent for the simple fact that he is young and raw), then Culley has "groomed" or done well with two, young, raw QBs. And he might get that "QB whisperer" tag. That type of tag can definitely lead to a head coaching gig for a team with a young QB or one planning to draft a young QB. Plus he is basically a co-coordinator, which is less of a jump to HC than from QB coach. And the Asst Head Coaching title may seem almost honorary to us, like he just got it so its not a lateral move or to satisfy someone's stature in the league, etc. But it also says, another head coach in the league really wants this guy on his staff, enough to give him that extra title and it says, I'm going to lean on this guy. He will be in the upper level of planning. So, I would think it is not really a meaningless title in NFL or owner's circles. Plus as others said, Baltimore is a much more high profile team than Buffalo. More press, more nationally televised games, etc. After a year or two in Baltimore, especially if Jackson and the offense improves (the Ravens have traditionally not been a great offensive team), his standing in the league and possibly for a head coaching position will be much improved over deciding to stay in Buffalo as just the QB coach. Seems pretty obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
