As a HS senior, Curry was the top recruit in the country in both basketball and football, so there’s that…

 

 

I wonder if he and Peppers were the last two sport college athletes. They were fun to watch play basketball, especially Peppers, he was an animal in the paint.

brady was passing game coord at LSU, right?  if he's worked well in that kind of a structure, then it's likely a good thing to replicate what he is comfortable with on our team.

 

im not really sure why, but i feel like allen working closely with different people will make him better.  he's the goat in terms of talent, but he's not had the highest level of guys to learn from and work with, so exposure to more should be fruitful.

Loved watching Curry at UNC.  Never met the ridiculously high expectations he had coming in but was a solid contributor to both the basketball and football programs.

 

Won't hurt my feelings to see a fellow Tar Heel on the Bills staff -- and he brings a tremendous amount of experience.

I will never not stop saying this but as long as Josh Allen is here Coaches will line up to coach here.  If McDermott were to walk away next year The bills would have their pick of whatever coach they wanted.  

 

all the more reason to make sure the organization, the roster and the staff are fully behind him and he is given enough tools to do his job.

I am starting to feel really old now. 


 On the plus side don’t Asian people live to be 200 years old……or at least the one’s that eat yogurt and live in the mountains?

I remember this guy being an absolute beast coming out of high school. To be good enough to play basketball at North Carolina when that was basically the best program in the country plus play football there as the starting QB is nuts.

 

I just hope he is not buddy buddy with Josh and can hold him accountable

Jimmy Graham and Russel Wilson come to mind off the top of my head.

This is an interesting hire and definitely brings a different perspective to the QB room and offense.  Honeslty I'm not impressed with the passing game or even QB play in NO under him, but I'm willing to go on faith that this could be good for Josh's development by putting someone with a very different perspective in there.  

 

It's not like he hasn't been a QB coach, and he has played in and coached in several different Offensive schems, so I think he'll bring some great knowledge and hopefully some wrinkles for Joe Brady to incorporate.  

 

QB coach, especially on teams like Buffalo, LAR, KC, etc. Are the waiting spot for OC, and he got calls for that in 2021.  He was offered to be retained in NO but take a demotion to WR coach, so I get him taking this move instead.  For Buffalo, it's a diversification move of the staffing by way of skill set and knowledge base.  While his title is QB coach, I think this is going to be a role where he will work with Brady to develop a unique passing attack to maximize our assets (whatever they happen to be post FA and Draft.) 

 

Anyone who isn't happy needs to remember that estsblished QB coaches are already OCs in waiting and lateral moves are hard, so plucking a guy from a "lower position" or who is not under contract is the only move.  I'm sure there are "I wanted x,y,z" people out there, but I'm not sure if there is a sure fire better option out there. 

 

All in all, it's intriguing... Could go well, may be ineffective and we're looking for a QB coach in 2025.

@GunnerBill where do you see a fit for him on our staff and how does this impact areas of game planning responsibility with Brady if at all?


They overlapped in Nola - so fingers crossed they work together well and are aligned in strategy (and hopefully not the current saints passing strategy)

Maybe having one of the best pass catching RB's in the game (Alvin Kamara with 75 catches) had something to do with this...although Cook has a skill set that could flourish...Cook has to eliminate the drops.

ESPN may suck in other ways but they made great commercials.
