JerseyBills Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Says Josh is more competitive than Brady and Mahomes .. Helluva compliment by a great player Edited March 5, 2021 by JerseyBills 8 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeTime101 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Respect.. McCoy has never one to be afraid to back down on anything. We all knew the answer but hearing it from McCoy knowing he's never afraid to answer these type of questions just means that much more. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I remember Beane saying something like Josh would try to kick your ass in tiddlywinks. Need someone like that at the most important position 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Josh has improved so much from his rookie year its been to fun to watch. I think he is going to have a similar type of career with the Bills that Ben has had with the Steelers. That is a couple of Super Bowl championships and a team that is usually in the mix for the division and playoffs almost every year. Especially with Beane and McDermott leading the way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Listen to Shady. Every time I hear something like this, it takes my appreciation of Josh to another level. Listen to him. Shady's essentially saying Josh is the most all-round dominant athlete he's ever seen. Amazing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I had a feeling that was why Mahomes keeps deferring on the "throw-off" idea. With how competitive Josh is, I get the feeling he'd do it in an instant. For Mahomes, meanwhile, he really has nothing to gain. I also get the feeling that Mahomes is irritated/threatened by the emergence of Josh. I think He liked being the only "freak arm, improvisational wunderkind QB" on the block. As for Josh being called "more competitive" than Tom Brady by someone who has played with both men? That's just awesome. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Few realize just what a workout and study freak Allen really is, and how disciplined he is. He has said he studies Brady and wants to follow his system. Josh is going to win a Super Bowl here if he keeps this career arc going, which there is no reason to think he won't. As far as Mahomes and Allen and comparisons go... The AFC is going to be a lot of fun for quite a while. Guys like Allen and Mahomes have the potential to be around and playing at a high level in their late 30's or even early 40's. That's a lot of years of games and potential playoff meetings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 40 minutes ago, MJS said: It seems like he has matured over the years, though. People change. I think this is true. He seems to have learned from several of his bad decisions, which is not to say that he won't make more in the future. But he's smarter, and he's become more thoughtful, over the years. And Buffalo had something to with that. He left his roots when he came to Buffalo, and he learned that people would love him just for being Shady. He didn't need to bring along all of his old life to have us love him. Buffalo gave him the opportunity to get some distance from the world he grew up in, the opportunity to leave some of it behind. He saw the opportunity, and he took it. As for the comment about being the best Bills running back since Thurman, well, yeah, probably. Freddie might have something to say about that. Bills fans have been blessed to have the running backs we've had. I've started threads from time to time about the Bills maybe having the best all-time stable of running backs in the league. Cookie, OJ, Cribbs, Thurman, Freddie, and Shady. Rank them any way you want, but one of Shady, Cribbs, or Freddie is the 6th best running back in the history of the franchise. What other team has a #6 that good? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder that since Shady has played with the older more "mellow" Brady if he opinion would have been different if he played with a younger Brady. All in all pretty interesting in that you don't see Josh throwing no temper tantrums on the sideline but yet he is more competitive! THAT is awesome!

The fact Mahomes even asked Shady about Allen arm and talking about its a lose/lose situation if he has a throw off shows Allen is on his mind even if Allen doesn't have all the accolades that he has which is crazy.

Utah John Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Ethan in Portland said: Cutting McCoy for Gore was a bad decision. Stupid move to even sign Gore in the first place. The Bills did McCoy a favor by cutting him. They could have tried to trade him but that would have brought Shady's big contract along, and no team was going to pay that unless they could get him for a seventh or a box of tape. And any team that got him might not have been a winning team. So Shady was able to go to KC for a lot of money (less than his Bills contract called for), keep playing, get a ring, and then move on and get ANOTHER ring. The Bills showed McCoy respect and consideration by the way they handled it. That's a message the rest of the league got loud and clear. Good for the Bills they did that. As for keeping McCoy on board, he clearly wasn't able to be the workhorse they had relied on for years. Singletary was coming in and they didn't know if he'd be very good. Keeping Gore around was a good move. Edited March 4, 2021 by Utah John forgot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 That's what everyone says about Josh Allen, that he's an elite competitor and no matter what it is, he will compete to the end. I noticed that about him winning some non related to football off-season tournaments in various things and he simply wins. That is a phenomenal trait to have for an athlete, especially so for it to be your franchise QB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a Josh supporter but I remember reading articles about him after his rookie year and I knew by hearing Palmer and other guys speak on his desire to get better, that we had our franchise QB for a long time! This is a helluva compliment though, from a great player in his own right. Possible HOFer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Mahomes and Brady wouldn't even attempt to run over an pro MLB in the open field so yes I believe he's ultra competitive. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jackson was a good if not great Bill. Loved his play with us and he gave his all. His story is all about perseverance, one that many football fans and football players should take notice of. LeSean McCoy had more talent than Freddie. By that I mean that Shady was an instant impact type of player who could do it all. Freddie took time to develop. During his first year with the Bills, Jackson was behind Anthony Thomas and with good reason. Thomas was far more experienced than Jackson and it showed. Jackson was terrible at picking up blitzes and did not look that good as a receiver. As time went on Freddie got better at his game and he became a very good player for the Bills. I still stand by my original comment about Shady being our best RB since Thurman, but I have plenty of love for Fred Jackson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t go as far as to say McCoy was more talented than Fred, he just got more opportunities it seems. Bills kept drafting RBs and Fred outperformed them all even Lynch.

There's a reason why McCoy was a 2nd round draft pick and Jackson was undrafted, and that is talent. Fred outperformed Lynch, because Lynch was a dunderhead and didn't want to be in Buffalo. I've done the eye test and I stand by what I've said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
