Outsider Question about JP

[AFJoe]

i was just curious if JP is really a jerk or does he just comes off that way to people who don't follow the Bills?

My first (and really only impression) of JP was when he was in the draft out of college. ESPN was doing a special where they followed him around and interviewed him. He got permission to workout for scouts at Eli Manning's private workout after he was done. He made a comment after meeting Eli that he (JP) was the best QB in the building. Then the interviewer asked him if he still was after pointing out that Peyton was now in the building watching his younger brother. JP just smirked at the camera as if to say he still was the best. That came off to me a little arrogant for someone who had never played a NFL game and left a bad impression for me. Is he like that still?

Pro sports are about ego's. Myself, I'd want guys on my team who believed they were the best...that's one less issue I would have to worry about.

I have not one time... I mena not one time.... EVER seen or heard JP say or do anything that would make me think he is conceited or cocky. He speaks respectfully to and about the media and his team and community.

The freaking media OUTSIDE western NY are the ONLY ones calling him cocky.

I think he's a cocky punk kid myself and that is what turned off some members of the team. That doesn't go well with seasoned veterans in a lot of fields. He doesn't talk that way to the media any more because he's been humbled.

I mean there's no problem with thinking your the best, as long as you keep it to yourself.

Re: Outsider Question about JP

He was really cocky straight out of college.. Honestly, I would like to see more of that, but in a more mature way.

Re: Outsider Question about JP

I've watched a few of his press conferences, and he's always seemed very humble, respectful, and accountable. If he was cocky, he's been humbled, but he by no means lacks fire..

INO, The vets last year put him in his place.

Re: Outsider Question about JP

Yes he was cocky. I think that the drama the vets had with him over his attitude kind of set him back because he seemed like he played his best ball when he thought he was the best, but now he has to be humble and modest just for the sake of some nfl vets who don't realize you need some form of swagger to play the position. Jim Kelly is lucky he had nobody to come and rain on his parade when he came to b-lo. Sure he thought he was hot stuff, but he started to back it up and became a leader since apparently the vets figured to let him be. People here are spoiled with a qb's like kelly, and want another qb with the same attitude. When one comes along, the media and others have a problem with it. Makes no sense.

He just stinks. You guys are going to eat him up on Sunday! Could be 7 sacks.

Re: Outsider Question about JP

He might be cocky off the field, but come game day, he's anything but. I think a bit of cockyness might help his game on Sundays.

Re: Outsider Question about JP
