Respectful Young is here to learn [4:10 AM]

"From Fitz, from Jax [Fred Jackson], it's a long list of guys. I definitely won't make that comment again because it was definitely blown out of proportion.

The only people you can make happy is your family members, your coaching staff and your teammates. The ones you do love. Those are the ones I focus on, everything else I just put too much focus on. I don't really watch it and I don't get to hear it until someone texts it to me or someone tells me. I kind of use that as fuel."'

Humbled QB Young happy to backup for Bills [4:04 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '"All you can do is come in and work," Young said when he spoke to the media on Tuesday afternoon. "This league is crazy injury-wise.

I think this Young thing can work [4:03 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'I’m not naïve, I know the Bills organization will be under siege if #14 struggles. Fans love the backup quarterback, they always do. There will be a QB controversy outside the doors of One Bills Drive. Nix and Gailey have already gotten testy the first time they talked about their new QB. If they’re going to keep this running smoothly and not let Young be a distraction, they must do better than that, but I don’t think the distraction will be Young himself. He’s come too far to let that happen.'

With the signing of Kelly, it turned everything around from a psychological standpoint.”'

Buddy (Nix), (David) Lee, and the coaching staff, and Andy Reid over there, everybody's getting the perception of who I really am as a person so that's all I care about."'

Expertise of Gailey, Lee sold Young [3:59 AM]

Coach (Mike) Heimerdinger, may he rest in peace, and coach Andy Reid and Marty Morhninweg, two guys that read their history, done some great things and coached some great quarterbacks. So I thought this was an opportunity for myself to come in and learn some more knowledge on being the best I can be as a quarterback. That’s the biggest thing I was thinking about to up my skill level some more working with these guys.”'

I had a chance to watch the guys play a lot last year on film because pretty much the guys who they were playing we were right behind when I was in Philly (Philadelphia). As well as with Coach Gailey and Coach D. Lee, I call him, Coach (David) Lee. I know he’s been trying to recruit me for a long time since I was coming out of high school to come to Arkansas. To get a chance to come here to study, work hard and listen to the knowledge that they have to bring to the game, my game, make my game even better I thought that was a great opportunity for myself.'

BuffaloBills.com reports: '“Day one it was all I could do to think about getting the ball to the quarterback and thinking about the plays and footwork and the defense and that stuff wasn’t really happening,” he said. “I had some narrow tunnel vision, but as the days went on I didn’t have to think about the snap, it became automatic, so I could start looking to see where the defensive tackles were and then I could see where the linebackers were. The last day I felt real comfortable to see what the whole defense was doing.”'

At LSU the fan base was amazing so hopefully I'll be able to come up here and the fans give me that same energy and I give the same energy back to our fans and hopefully get us a Super Bowl."'
