JaCrispy Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 This is what he said on One Bills Live...which kind of surprised me...I understand he’s trying to learn the offense and his team mates, but so are the other two guys...anyway, it looks like he’s not even expecting himself to start. Just curious what everyone thinks about this...I know Baker Mayfield said, after the draft, that he expected to earn the starting job- and we all know what Rosen thinks of himself...so what are your thoughts on JA not looking to beat anyone out?

bobblehead Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) He’s also said that it’s set up so everyone has a shot at it. Sounds like he was trying to be respectful. Guessing he came out of the gate high on adrenaline yesterday and faded at the end, hence the bad throws there. Has to learn how to be a pro.

Luxy312 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 He said this after Peterman responded to the media that all of the quarterbacks were working together to get better and not against each other. He, quite frankly, said what he should have said. I'm glad he was the #1 QB on the Bills board for the draft. I'll be the other clowns egos get in the way of their success in lieu of actually helping them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite Poster Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If he said he's here to earn a starting spot, this thread would be, "I love Josh's fire and competitive spirit!!!!", and since he said otherwise its, "Wow, so respectful!" None of this means anything. Let the boys play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that has struck me about Allen's press interactions since rookie minicamp: he reminds me of the scene in Bull Durham where Crash Davis is tutoring Nuke LaLoosh: "You're gonna have to learn your cliches....They're your friends" I don't think you're going to catch Allen on-microphone saying anything that isn't team-oriented, positive, and politically correct. Don't confuse that with lacking competitive fire. Taking it at face value, I think it makes a lot of sense as a training camp attitude. Don't try to beat anyone out. Just try to be your best self and continue to get better, and what happens will happen. World and Olympic Champion Simone Biles was struggling with nerves in competition. Reportedly her adoptive mom told her, "stop worrying about whether you're the best gymnast. Just focus on being the best Simone that you can be." See where that took her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think the focus is more on becoming acclimated. Getting to know the team, learn the system. I figured it might take some time for the guy to find his place. I wasn't big into thinking he was just going have it all figured out and be an instant starter as a rookie. I think Josh Allen knows the situation he is in. To say it bluntly, if you want to be a good QB for the Bills you are probably going to carry a team still in transition. That's why I'm not over reacting to anything. The situation is obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think we should pick apart every thing he says, syllable by syllable to see what profound and long term meaning we can divine from his every utterance.

One Buffalo Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I just listened to the interview, he said exactly what he should have said. Basically like what some have referenced above here, he is focusing on the big picture and being the best QB he can be. This attitude and the way he responds will serve him well.

ChasBB Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 This is not a sign of a lack of confidence. It's just a sign that he knows the starting job has to be earned. He's not going to say on opening day of training camp that he expects to start - that would just be disrespectful. In his own mind, he perhaps keeps the mentality that he expects to start, but all 3 of the QBs have this mindset. His low-key comments is just showing respect for the process of earning a starting spot and nothing more needs to be read into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think he is just trying to be the best he can, learn from the Vets, and I guarantee he wants to starts, but understands if he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time he needs to exhibit extreme confidence is when he is on the field, and he does that. I believe he has the confidence and attitude to be successful. Now, if we can fix his short passing game, he will be a long-time starter for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
