enough with the mentoring crap. Give Allen a few more lineman, 4 or 5 WR... that will help more than a 'mentor'.

 

Well, you know, no one disagrees with giving Allen OL and WR help, but that's not really going to happen in any meaningful way until this season is in the books. So there is that.

As for whether Allen would benefit from the advice a guy like Anderson could give him about playing the position in the NFL as he tries to adjust IMO he would most definitely would. It's not like the Bills have surrounded the kid with coaches well known for developing young QBs. In fact the Bills have quite the opposite reputation. Darnold has been very outspoken about helpful McCown has been to him. I don't think he was just being politically correct. It makes perfect sense.

I won't say Anderson wouldn't help some, but I'm not sure he has a background of developing QB's either. He worked with Cam, and as much as I like Cam, he still has too many flaws in his passing skills. Not a fault of Anderson, but not a ringing endorsement either. Darnold has more talent around him than Allen and Darnold is probably a higher rated prospect than Allen too.

This actually isn't a terrible idea and an awesome way for Peterman to troll their defense 

Double moves would certainly be viable IF the pass protection can hold up long enough for them to happen. Something tells me the Bears aren’t going to allow that.
