YoloinOhio Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 The common theme of any athlete in any sport that has beyond the skills needed for that position — point guard, center, quarterback, kicker — it’s kind of a blessing and a curse,” Favre said from his Chevy pickup truck in Hattiesburg, Miss. “The blessing is that you’re gifted with a tremendous amount of talent, more so than the guy next to you. The curse is you almost don’t know your limitations or don’t feel like you have any. You can throw it through anything. … It’s a humbling experience.” From a coach’s standpoint, they’re going to have to demand that he not play as reckless as he has,” Favre said. “What I would tell him, from a physical standpoint is, ‘Hey, Josh. I get it. I see you diving and running over people. I was that guy, too. But listen, man. Take it from a guy who’s played a long time and learned maybe later than I should’ve, there’s a time and place when you try for extra yards. That wasn’t it. You’ve got to be smarter.’ “Now, he’ll say, ‘You’re right, Brett. I know.’ But it may take a few more hits before he goes, ‘You know, Brett really is right.’ ” 11 6 11
BillsFanSD Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 He's obviously right. Although I have to be honest that it's a little disturbing to realize that Favre is watching Bills games and thinking to himself "Man, that guy is just too reckless with the football." 4 1 20 1
Buffalo716 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Brett should personally call Allen That would be such a blessing for our young gunslinger to know that another legend is in his corner 4 1

Or is he thinking this looks like me at 23 6
One Buffalo Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 What a great read, hopefully Josh gets this in front of him somehow.
billsfan1959 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Wise advice and Josh needs to learn - sooner rather than later. I don't want him to lose that competitiveness and desire, just be smarter about it. 3
Dablitzkrieg Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Hopefully Brett doesn't include any pics of his junk when they exchange texts? 1 12 1
Andrew Son Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 "Oh, and Josh, stay away from texting dic picks." 1 4 1 1
jletha Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 This play looks so Allen-like its scary....and maybe a bit encouraging lol? 4
Alphadawg7 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 This was spot on by Brett Farve. I think he sees a lot of himself in Allen, I mean Allen has all the same arm talent as Brett and is more athletic. I have no doubt Josh will have seen this, I am sure someone will have shared it with him. 1

In years 3-6 of his career (not including his rookie season, in which he didn't play), he threw 145 TDs (36 per season on average) to 56 INTs (14 on averge).
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Yes the game has changed, but mindsets have not. Allen displays a ton of the same attributes as a Farve or Rodgers. I want Josh to protect himself so he can enjoy his life and playing career.

CEN-CAL17 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 In Josh’s mind it was the biggest game he’s ever been in. Not getting the first down there is fine. Early in the 4th, punt pin them deep. D will get the ball back. That needs to be his mindset. Taking a sack on 1st down is fine, you don’t have to run around. No ints. He’ll get it.... 1
QCity Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 "The change happened once Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren sat Favre down and dispensed a threat to fine him $5,000 every time Favre failed to slide, unless a crucial first down was necessary to win." Send this snippet to McD. 2 1
CuddyDark Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 I personally don't believe their anything alike. 2
