D521646 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Just heard on the radio, sorry no link, but in the Giants presser Shurmur said when asked about Allen, that when they looked at him in 2018 they thought that one day he "might" be a starter? When pressed later on in the press conference, he repeated the statement? What does that even mean? Meanwhile McD had high praise for Eli. I find it odd that usually we hear from coaches nothing but good things to say about the team they're about to face, but Shurmur's comments caught reporters off guard? Tim-
Bangarang Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Pat Shurmur just made the list 14 21 3 2

Tim- It's odd but kind of sounds like he saying what he thought about him when scouting him and hasn't really thought about him since. I guess if you can't say anything nice.... don't do what Gase does. 1 4
freddyjj Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Personally I’d take Josh “jugular” Allen over Danny “dimes” Jones anyday. 1 1
x-BillzeBubba Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 he was right about what he thought in 2018...Josh IS a starter. wheres the controversy 1 1

It's clear what he was saying is, at draft time he thought Allen could be a starting NFL QB someday, not sure why that is so hard to understand. 2
VW82 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Makes perfect sense he'd say that. Giants passed on Allen to take Barkley and now Eli looks like he's done. I expect Shurmer has heard a lot of noise about how they screwed up not going with Allen or Darnold. 1
x-BillzeBubba Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 exactly...he didn't say anything doubtful about JA..it was pre-draft and he remembered Josh as a potential starter . he was right
wppete Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 someone send the quote to josh and the bills on social media.....
HOUSE Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I am officially naming Allen the starter. 3 4 1
Buffalo716 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Funny I thought Daniel Jones "might" become a starter one day In the xfl 3
White Linen Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Need to give Shurmur a little bit of a reprieve. They just got throttled and I'm sure his head is pretty messed up.
billspro Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 He is trying to justify them not picking Josh last year. I am not surprised by the response.

I find it odd that usually we hear from coaches nothing but good things to say about the team they're about to face, but Shurmur's comments caught reporters off guard? Tim- It means what he said. Coming out of the draft it looked like he could be a starting QB someday. Technically he IS a starting QB but none of us know his staying power yet. Which is fair. He could still go the direction of Favre or Bortles. If he keeps getting better he’ll start. If he doesn’t he’ll get another look or two from teams then be gone. It is a pretty honest and fair assessment of Josh Allen in early September of 2019. Shurmer is the (terrible) head coach of another franchise. He isn’t going to go into detail on where he thinks another teams QB is going to be in 5 years.
