SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 ^ My biggest issue of the list I posted is losing next year's 1st -- if EJ fails, we are really stuck without having a chance for a top QB in 2015 draft This is my line of thinking too. The success or failure of that trade rests both on Watkins and Manuel. If Watkins is a star, but EJ plays us to a 3-13 record, then it would remain that a Top-3 pick is more valuable to a struggling team than a star wideout.
3rdand12 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I'm sure he could give that "I'm so thrilled to be here" speech in his sleep at this point in his career. Don't you have to be on the field to be a "coach on the field"? Dont discount this guys broad and specific understanding of the QB position .Kid is no ones fool either. I will vote asset. for now.

T master Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Just got the Alert Looks like by the video on BB.com that he has a really nice tight spiral on the ball unlike others at one bills drive . I hope this isn't a "tell us what the Bears are doing on offense" hire … I'm just saying
The Frankish Reich Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 NFL network, Jordan Palmer on right now starting the second half for the Bears vs. Seahawks. Seahawks have their starters in on D -- will there be something worth seeing here? Well, they sure as hell didn't do anything on the first series. Maybe this is how you get beaten out by the likes of Jimmy Clausen ...

Maybe this is how you get beaten out by the likes of Jimmy Clausen ... He throws 1 good ball in that outing, and it was a dangerous throw across his body. Oh and here's Marrone's presser, he says he had no idea that Palmer ever taught a QB coaching camp or that he worked with EJ or Bortles. http://www.buffalobi...93-1301067af175 Edited August 27, 2014 by QCity

I mean, really ... I don't think I need to spend a half hour of my life to see that. But what is good to see is how awful the Bears defense is. EJ can move the ball on this team!
Mr. WEO Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Dont discount this guys broad and specific understanding of the QB position . Kid is no ones fool either. I will vote asset. for now. I've already discounted it. It's in your mind. 4 teams (and counting) say you just made that up. As for the bolded part....I don't know what that means.

I don't buy he was totally unaware of his coaching. But why would he lie? But how could he miss that completely?

But how could he miss that completely? Hah, I have no idea, but I predict he will lose it in one of these pressers before the season is over. I'm talking atom-bomb explosion full-on snap that gets him nominated for an ESPY or something.
Mister Defense Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 EJ may really benefit from having someone like Palmer around, someone who knows the game. Tuel will learn from him too. A good move.

But how could he miss that completely? I think the primary reason for the Palmer signing was to extract information for the Bears game. It is totally a Belicheck move and anything else we get out of him is a bonus.
reddogblitz Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Is Coach Marrone really not going to ask Jordon anything about what Chicago is dong offensively? I wonder how much he really knows though. I suspect that NFL teams don't start trotting out the real playbook and real plays and game plans until the roster is set just for this reason. And, I suspect Schwartz has pretty idea about what Chicago does. I think the primary reason for the Palmer signing was to extract information for the Bears game. It is totally a Belicheck move and anything else we get out of him is a bonus. It's not just a Bill Bellyache trick. It's as old as the NFL. Tom Landry used to do this.

BillsFan17 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Drew Brees Russell Wilson Colin Kaepernick Andy Dalton Nick Foles Tom Brady... Clearly you would much rather a first rounder in order to select your QB, however as a couple of examples above show you don't need one in order to find a QB.

How can you not feel good about what is happening over at OBD?
