According to this article, Aaron Rodgers is not happy with them not keeping Van Pelt. He displayed it publicly and its obvious that he learned from him and is upset with the move.

Maybe he can turn Dalton into Aaron Rodgers!!  JK but hopefully he can help though

I like it when players are upset when their coaches leave, makes me feel like we made a good decision. Did anyone outcry like this for Alexander?

I was intrigued about this hiring when I thought he might have been there when the incredibly average Matt Flynn had a ridiculous 470+ yard game against Detroit the last week of the season (his only start) and parlayed it in to a contract at Seattle, but Van Pelt didn't start there until 2014.

Hard to judge the man's talent as a coach when he had the best QB and a lot of the stuff Rogers does seems to be off-script.  I am hopeful that he can work with Lazor on "scramble drills" as when you watch piggy or Rogers, you see WRs continue to specified spots when a play breaks down and those often end up as huge plays.  I believe the catch-phrase now is "chunk plays"  .  The Bengals receivers just stop running and watch Dalton look for help only to end up throwing it away or getting sacked.  

Van Pelt strikes me as a guy that was racing Civics with a Ferrari.  That won't be the case in Cincy.  I gave Zampese a shot and it backfired.  As QB coach, I hope more than anything he can help Dalton with one of his biggest weaknesses:  zeroing in on his primary target.  I hope he can help him learn to look off safeties and start working with his secondary and tertiary options.
