Who are our QB gurus on the coaching staff to coach up rookie?

[Fin-Loco]

As I watched the combine and have done some reading about each of the potential QB draft picks, I keep hearing that many (Herbert, Love, Eason) could be very capable QBs eventually. As an example Herbert seems to not have had a lot of positional coaching. So the comment about him is if he has a great QB coach who can bring him along the right way he has ample upside.

I don't know our coaches short of Flores very well as in this crazy NFL world, it all moves around so much. So, knowing that we're getting a QB in the first round and probably with our top pick, who on the team would help them grow and prep and push them to greatness? Is it Dan? I know he watches film with them and is often at practice. Is it someone else and Dan?

Trying by posting this to get a handle on our QB coaching capabilities and see if someone like a Herbert, Love or Eason would be able to grow rapidly by virtue of the talent we have on our QB coaching staff.

Chan the man Gailey

He's not the QB coach.

Sure, he'll be part of it. Who is the pro bowler that Chan Gailey brought along from a rookie? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Gailey

He was a QB coach for one year '88. Elway's stats seemed to stay the same that year.

Good question. That's why I was always in favor of hiring an offensive minded head coach.

I want our Head Coach to be a head coach not a QB coach.

Yeah, Gase worked out so well

And Belicheat's done okay as a defensive minded guy.

Robby Brown. Doesn't have much of a resume but hopefully he knows what he's doing.

Okay, that's freaking terrifying.

If you age Robby Brown 30 years and sandblast him, he'll look exactly like Chan Gailey.

Gailey seems a good fit for a journeyman QB like Fitzpatrick who is at the end of his career.

But as much as the possibility of drafting Tua excites me, I can't pretend the idea of someone who has been out of the league for years (and who wasn't that successful in the years before retirement) being responsible for grooming him doesn't concern me. Especially under a defensive Head Coach

Bizzaro choice of OC.

I would love a head coach that has a offensive background so when you lose assistants, the offensive system and driving force remains in place with the head coach.

How about Fitzpatrick? He’s the guru for our young QB.

I agree. He's an odd choice. He also never sticks with one team. So I would love to know what is the reason he's coming out of retirement for the Dolphins?

I don't know. Ask 15 musicians how to play an instrument and it just came natural to 10 of them. Sure they all have tips but some people are natural teachers and others aren't. That's why I posed the question so we could evaluate the situation.
