This is the same guy that tweeted at a young age "If it ain't white, it ain't right." To his credit he owned up to the offensive tweets. He has done nothing in Buffalo but be a model citizen and near perfect face of the franchise. People change, I am living proof of that, but I do agree that we should not hero worship. God alone shall we worship. I will say this though. Allen has been here for five years now, if he was pond scum, we would know by now. Nobody can keep a mask on for that long, but I will also say this to my Bills brothers and sisters, Buffalo has a very good team now, a team that is good enough to win many championships, let us carry ourselves with the humility we had in the past years, our 7-9 years. Let us not boast in prideful arrogance, let us forever think of us as the underdog and the number one antagonists to some of the more obnoxious, boastful, big market teams out there! 3 2 1 Quote
machine gun kelly Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 We’ll Ethan, no football player can break my heart as I’m not that attached to anyone in sports to have me get emotional about their behavior. Jimbo was a scoundrel on women, and I’ve had this discussion with friends I just have no respect for a man or woman who cheats on their spouse. Leave them before you cheat. I also don’t have any respect for a man who assaults a woman, but stupid comments as a 15 yr old, I can forgive especially if we don’t know the reference like some have suggested the rapping thing. It’s still a dumbass move, but I have some compassion for a teenager who doesn’t fully understand their actions since our minds aren’t fully formed and developed until around 25. Josh seems to be a good guy, tries to help kids out, and overall seems to be a good role model for our youth who are Bills fans. Why look for any reason not to like him. Not saying you or I have to love him, but he’s a great QB, and tries to lead a role we should like in our Bills. Im done so have a good night. 1 1 Quote

And to his credit, Josh never used youth excuse. He simply said I'm sorry and has done nothing but be a stand up guy ever since. 1 1 2 Quote

machine gun kelly Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 GT, people place an S on my last name all the time as it reminds them of an old actor who is long since gone. It’s annoying, but I gave up years and years ago correcting people. Quote

And although he knew and somehow(not sure if it was Josh or someone else) it got made clear to public it was quoted from a t.v show and was in no way at all meant to offend, He still apologized and think he also spoke with each Bills player on the team one by one if I recall right. 1 Quote

Burrow plays his arrogance pretty well though (so far. I think the cigar stuff is fun personally.) And he’s said some pretty eloquent things on social issues that I respect a lot. https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/14/bengals-joe-burrow-gun-reform-comments/ But I’d still take Allen 10/10 times. 1 2 Quote

JerseyBills Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 He's a big kid himself.. He's just keeping it real with the kids, media and teammates. That's why he's so beloved. His personality was built for this role .. He's a genuinely real ass dude and you gotta respect that Quote

He has done nothing in Buffalo but be a model citizen and near perfect face of the franchise. He was a young teenager quoting a tv show but unfortunately that story will stick with him the rest of his life no matter what he does. Dominique Foxworthy (an ESPN analyst) reminded us of that in his December 2020 quote saying there's a part of him that gets happy when Josh does something dumb because of those tweets. I haven't heard Josh do or say anything controversial since we drafted him which is pretty amazing given his media exposure. 1 Quote

Burrow has done a ton for Ohio, from the food bank to getting families with kids all they need for school and internet access. He is genuine. 1 Quote
