Shaw66 Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 I didn't see a thread about this. Interesting praise from Shady about his rookie qb. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/bills-rb-lesean-mccoy-compliemnts-josh-allen-not-big-fan-rookies-draft-pick/c73t872vib9t1xkvftdo6wvs3 “It’s still early,” McCoy said. “I don’t want to make him Jim Kelly already. He just has to learn different things, he’s a rookie, and quarterback is such an important role, he’s like a coach on the field as far as making the right reads, being confident, he has so much he has to learn, from his position to the wide receivers, to the linemen, protections, he has a lot on his plate. But other than that, just talent wise and intelligence, he has it to be a starting quarterback, and also a franchise quarterback." 3
RoyBatty is alive Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Well Shady's exposure to him has been incredibly limited but nice to hear his comments. I think this one is very telling, "I want to be part of that when he takes over eventually", I bolded that, i am of the belief it is highly unlikely J Allen will be the starter to begin the season, he is going to need a lot of time to overtake AJ.

TigerJ Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 I seen a couple of the quotes, but not all in one place. Thanks.

I've generally thought they are not going to rush Allen. BUT from what I have read and heard he seems ahead of schedule in his limited work and I could absolutely see him pushing hard for the starter spot. Thing is Peterman looks to be also progressing soo it'll be interesting. 1 1

I wouldn't read too much into that. Shady knows the plan is to keep Allen mainly with the threes to start training camp. There is no time frame associated with "eventually." Personally, I'm not expecting Allen to be the starter in game one either, but after that, who knows? game 2 in 2018 or game 1 in 2019, or somewhere in between - or later than 2019. I haven't got a clue.
Kwai San Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Just where the heck is Savior Peterman when you need him most????????......must be a high level meeting day today........ 4
Fadingpain Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Were we expecting Shady to say something like this? "Looking at all the statistical indicators used to predict QB success in the NFL, I just don't see how the Bills view Allen as a future franchise QB. The analytics and college video just don't support it." Didn't think so. Let's see how training camp unfolds.

He could have ducked the question very easily. Instead, he talked, about how talented is and how much he has to learn. Didn't have to say any of that. I'm guessing it's a pretty fair assessment. 5 1
Ennjay Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 I worry about the progress of the O line. If these guys can't pass block, there's no reason for Allen to be the QB who gets sacrificed. Look at what happened to David Carr. 1

When you're in early June, August is "eventually." 1
blacklabel Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 I've heard Shady mentioned more than a few times by media guys as one of the more interesting players to talk to. He's not one to give the typical stock answers. He generally has pretty good stuff to say. Based on the quotes I read posted here, seems he's keeping a close eye on the QB competition.

Don't disagree in the least. I have zero hard data on this but I swear QB's drafted high who wait a bit tend to do better then those thrown to the wolves. Carson Palmer, Jared Goff, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Eli etc.. all spent some amount of time on the bench. Obviously not a guarantee as shown by JP but especially with his talent and areas needed for improvement I have to think it would do wonders. 1

I am cool with that. Let the Coaching take hold of Allen. this is kinda fun 4 hours ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Hope you are right and I am one of the few that still has hope for Peterman, granted not much but hope. Why not, let's hope for all 3 to progress under new Coaching ? And for different reasons perhaps. Even Peterman : ) What the heck Roy. Tis the season of Hope. enjoy it.
