The Jokeman Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Just now, Hapless Bills Fan said: That may be the answer to your comment that you couldn't find a connection between him and Stefanski. Maybe everyone else he called said "Thanks but No Thanks, I'm good" Very well a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) That’s surprising. Then again, Stefanski only has a year of play calling experience himself 14 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: That may be the answer to your comment that you couldn't find a connection between him and Stefanski.

I hope it works out for them.........ohnoIdon't, I lie! I lie! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they want a former career backup to mentor a future career backup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a challenge that could be Making sure ‘little Baker Napoleon’s’ hat is on straight. Think of the characterization of Napoleon from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons.

GreggTX Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 AVP was the OC here before he was ready for the job. Hopefully it will be different this time around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think it is a good hire. Just feels like a fit personality wise on that staff and I think you need an OC who is going to be QB centric with Baker. Still not convinced Stefanski will work out long term but I do think he has started to piece a decent staff together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not convinced Stefanski will work out long term but I do think he has started to piece a decent staff together. I suspect job one for AVP is going to be putting his foot up Baker’s arse. It’ll be interesting to see how they work together. Baker had a QB coach he loved his rookie year and he looked like the real deal. Then in Year 2 he had one he clashed with and he fell to the bottom of the league. There is a ton riding on this hire. I don’t know much about AVP, but I did read where Aaron Rodgers was pissed off when the team didn’t retain him. That speaks well for him. On the other side, Baker knows he effed up last season and he may be ready for the hard coaching he’s going to get. I hope these two click. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I don't know Stefanski or Van Pelt or people who know them - do you? I can see us fans assessing someone's past experience or the type of offensive system they run and whether that's a "fit" for what's known about the QB's playing style But how do we assess their personalities? It's not like either of them are high profile and have been in front of the media all the time like Gase where yeah, you kind of start to get some feel about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I thought Alex Van Pelt was a joke as an OC for the Bills. Wasnt it his brilliant idea to do the hurry up with Trent Edwards, because after all it worked 20 years earlier for the Bills and Edwards was "smart" becuase he went to Standford and bill Walsh said nice things about him, so he could easily excute it. Unfortunately we had a huge offesnive line, overpaid for Derrick Dockery and monstrous 366 lb Langston Walker that was too big to do a hurry up and we cut him. Also during the season he was spotted at the Casino several times when other OCs are working 18 hour days and sleeping in their offices. By the way, Alex sure could get to the gym and lay off the bread. looks like the pillsbury dough boy about to pop.

Captain Hindsight Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I am a little surprised AVP would give up the opportunity to work with Joe Burrow or Tua as he was pretty much guaranteed to do in Cinci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that is only a snapshot but I can see the way that a Stefanski - Van Pelt dynamic at least on that superficial level works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
