Josh’s off seasons

[Riverboat Ritchie]

I know Josh loves golf and that is fine but it sure seems like he has not focused on training with WRs or development the last couple of seasons  as he has become more Hollywood. I don’t want to believe it and these guys definitely need an off season to reboot but I hope he gets back to training with Palmer and maybe throwing some with WRs.

Allen doesn't do ***** in the offseason, he admitted it.  He will progressively regress each year he gets older.   He's not mentally there right now

Agree with the bolded. I don't think that is to do with his offseason practice schedule though.

[TheFunPolice]

He worked like a crazy person in the off-season to improve early in his career.

 

I was surprised to hear him say that and assumed he was just exaggerating 

[Nextmanup]

In fairness to Josh, this is the type of thing that only becomes an issue, or even a thought, when we are losing and things aren't going well.

 

If we are undefeated right now and Josh looks like the MVP, no one is talking about his summer time golf.

 

It does seem like he isn't as committed as he could be.  Most guys at this level are not.

Lucky for Josh he still go 12-5 if he can find it in himself to play better. 

[Buffalo Barbarian]

He needs to be like Mahomes who constantly works on his game. 

 

Careers are short you can have fun after you retire

What do you think it is? I’m really confused as he’s regressed pretty hard this year.

He did up to the pre-season just gone IIRC. I thought he perhaps decided he needed to get completely away from football after the psychological mess of last season (Araiza, supermarket shooting, trapped in Chicago, Damar) and could understand it at the time. In hindsight, it can be seen as a mistake. The upcoming post season is key - let’s see what he does with it.

I hope this doesn't become another Eichel situation due to an incompetent organization.

I am not going to speculate on exactly what might be going on in a public forum. I don't think that is fair to anyone. None of us know. But his pressers and his body language are really concerning. And I don't mean "he might not be playing at his maximum as a Quarterback" concerning I mean on a human level I am concerned for him. He has said some weird ***** in pressers and he looks so vacant on the field. I think it probably isn't football related. 

[US Egg]

He can probably say goodbye to doing commercials next offseason.

 

Except for West Herr…..maybe.

Disagree with this take. The other two top AFC qb’s that he’s often compared to are highly committed to being the best even in the offseason. Allen’s lack of offseason training is evidence in his play this year. He looks ill prepared and seems to be regressing.

The upcoming postseason? Golf in January probably.

Is there a post season for this team?

You know Mahomes golfed all off season right?  He went on multiple family vacations too.

Yup all that and he still found time to have a camp for his receivers to attend. See one can have fun in the offseason AND train too!

Josh has trained every offseason.  Then after playing through a hurt elbow and a tragic and emotional season he takes some time to recover and you all lose your minds.  It’s utterly ridiculous

I don’t think you can blame the org entirely but there’s no doubt probably 1000s of fans tweeting the most insane things imaginable at him as we speak, and his “same s*** different day” comment going back to week 1 was and still is odd. Could definitely get weird, as we should all now expect as Buffalo sports fans.
