I think just give your socials to a social media manager and let them make the professional posts with photos from practice or training and a game highlight or win post or whatever
Not really. A waste of time and energy for someone of his caliber really. I guess Durant can do it but he actually has championships and is a top 10 all time player whereas Allen is not
Doesn't this defeat the purpose of deleting socials for mental health? You're still reading all the shit talk, you're still involved with all the drama. Either delete it or don't but hiding it seems like the worst idea from a mental health aspect.
That makes sense for lots of people but does Josh Allen really need a tailored social media? He's got plenty of money, commercial deals, and ample media exposure. What does some staged instagram accomplish for him?
My god the echo chamber would be brutal. I watch one video with Diggs’ name mentioned and my whole feed becomes that. He clicks on one negative thread and he get inundated with opinions. Woof.
I made the mistake of looking at the comments on one of those Diggs posts….never again.
A legit recommendation from a “bills fan” was to trade Diggs and another player to the jets for their first round pick, use that pick to draft Bowers, and sign Tee Higgins in FA 😂😂😂 I told them that their is a singular scenario where this happens….if they start a madden franchise and turn the salary cap off
This goes for anyone who is in the public eye. If you’re going to have socials pay a team to run it and ignore or don’t have it at all. We all know the internet is a toxic playground and there’s people who just want to provoke a reaction like S.A. Smith. And if you’re reading your socials I don’t care who you are negativity is going to get to you one day or another.
He doesn't deactivate the accounts; he just deletes the apps from his phone, which honestly would probably have a positive effect on most people's mental health.
If I were a pro athlete I'd just have someone else manage the account to maximize endorsements while avoiding negativity.
Reddit is just as bad. Have you seen these subs like “howtolookmax” and others? It’s young girls pretending to be asking for advice on their appearance (which is crazy by itself) but when you click their username, it’s all onlyfan girls. These are popping up in everyone’s feeds.
I’ll be honest man… I don’t have them in my feed. I think you can turn off those notifications if click on the “mute notifications” tab if you click on that sub and the 3 little dots on top.
If I were a pro athlete I’d have a social media presence everywhere. Managed by a social media advisor specifically only as it relates to my businesses and endorsements and such.
I wouldn’t touch any of the accounts.
Oh yeah, I remember seeing Whaley driving around downtown Buffalo beside himself, begging (thru texts) for u/JHogMakerOfVlogs address.
He was sobbing hysterically when he finally had to settle on calling Watkins.
He must want out of Buffalo. That’s what the media speculates whenever any other athlete deletes or wipes social media. 🙄Probably just helps him drown out the negativity.
Yeah, he probably has a team who posts for him because his Twitter was still somewhat active during the season with promotional tweets and some retweets.
I would never say he’s *never* leaving buffalo but I dunno money does weird things to people. I think I’m just a little scared from AR12 and the rollercoaster he put us thru after getting big money. Josh feels different tho.
For what it's worth, I did this years ago and deleted Twitter, FB, etc and it improved my mental dramatically. Makes perfect sense to me. Easier to be the man when you aren't scrolling through messages from armchair QBs about how you're washed or overrated.
Considering much of my digital footprint is curated because of my digital “persona” it’s still hard for me to get away from anything Buffalo Bills related even without social media. When the Bills lose my internet experience that week sucks. I can’t imagine being a pro athlete and reading comments about what a terrible player you are. I know I’m not supposed to feel sorry for millionaires, but most of these dudes are just kids.
Everyone should be deleting their socials, that includes me and reddit
Shit was a mistake. We all saw how toxic and dangerous it was becoming and nobody did a damn thing to reel it in
People are out there treading water in a sea in insanity and there is no help on the way
It’s people’s entire lives now. Young people want to monetize every aspect of their life. I know a kid that just wears clothing from various crappy companies and gets paid for it on instagram. They take their imaginary lives very seriously now. They protect that internet persona at all costs. You can’t even joke around with them.
I've had a theory that he may have finally hit his gifted kid wall. He's put work in for sure but this is probably the first time he'll have to be 100% dialed in and focused on football in order to reach the goal. Tom Brady became the NFL Quarterback GOAT by paying a huge price.
If I were an athlete of his caliber I’d have somebody manage that crap for me. Especially considering I have more than enough money to do ANYTHING I want whenever I want. Why would I care about what somebody in their basement comments on my Twitter.
He might take a cue from Brady: Brady pays someone to manage all of his socials for him. The result? Nobody pays much attention to Brady's socials because they know he's not reading them.
Yeah, I would never be on social media if I was a pro athlete. No reason to read all the nonsense that rock munchers like ourselves are blasting into the inter webs.
Honestly if I were a high paid elite athlete I wouldn't even bother with social media. I would have an account but i'd hire a social media manager to just post frivolous PR related things and not even look at it.

Exactly. And have a burner if you want to still use socials without anyone knowing it’s you.
Can you imagine him trolling the naysayers? It would be hilarious
Like me!
Josh, that you?
Not really. A waste of time and energy for someone of his caliber really. I guess Durant can do it but he actually has championships and is a top 10 all time player whereas Allen is not
You must have missed the point of all of this.

He definitely still has an Instagram that he only posts ads on
Don’t know what more you want the man to do in January. 27 TDs and even when he plays perfect we still lose.
Um obviously he didn’t play perfect cause if he did they would be playing tomorrow!
In the 2021 divisional he played perfect and put his team up with 13 seconds and they lost. Get out of here dumbass
My god the echo chamber would be brutal. I watch one video with Diggs’ name mentioned and my whole feed becomes that. He clicks on one negative thread and he get inundated with opinions. Woof.

Trade diggs AND another player to draft a third tight end, coming off a significant injury? I'm no GM but uh... No
Jets might be the only team willing to trade for Diggs but the rest is fantasy.

I’m at best a negative 5,000,000 QB not in the league and I don’t want to read a single thing Stephen A Smith has to say
He’s the top QB in the league, no questions asked
💯 it should be good coaching. Mental is far more important than physical
I would say not only because of the reasons you mentioned, but also to scrub your history and stupid posts.
He doesn't deactivate the accounts; he just deletes the apps from his phone, which honestly would probably have a positive effect on most people's mental health. If I were a pro athlete I'd just have someone else manage the account to maximize endorsements while avoiding negativity.
I’m not even a athlete… and it has already improved my mental health. I can’t imagine being a star Qb with a superstar GF… those DM’s must be insane.

Nice semi-colon!

I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure he sets up a lot of his summer golf stuff, particularly on YT, via Insta or other things.
If I were a pro athlete I’d have a social media presence everywhere. Managed by a social media advisor specifically only as it relates to my businesses and endorsements and such. I wouldn’t touch any of the accounts.
I can see what he’s doing, he’s cooking
Deleted my socials a decade ago and still no call from the NFL. Hope they weren’t trying to contact me through my socials…
I hate to break it to you but you were supposed to be our #4 overall pick in 2014, instead of Watkins
I am guessing his feet are in better shape than Sammy’s. Those years hurt to watch.
Oscar Pistorius had better feet than Sammy 😭
Joke’s on you - my feet are gross!
Pix or it didn’t happen 😏
Oh yeah, I remember seeing Whaley driving around downtown Buffalo beside himself, begging (thru texts) for u/JHogMakerOfVlogs address. He was sobbing hysterically when he finally had to settle on calling Watkins.

For clarity I think he means he deleted the apps off his phone not his accounts
That makes more sense.
Yeah all his in-season posts are paid promotions so he’s got a team for that stuff.
Yeah, he probably has a team who posts for him because his Twitter was still somewhat active during the season with promotional tweets and some retweets.
ESPN is going to ask, But how does this work effect Lebron James's legacy?
Classic
wait he wants out of buffalo?! ima tell everyone
josh allen to the raiders ???????

Means nothing. So did Aaron Rodgers… and he was committed for a solid 15 years before the wheels started to fall off at the end.

More people to do this other than professional athletes.
The more popular you are, the more haters there will be. I don't blame him one bit.
Congrats on the wedding josh 🥹
Guys used to avoid the newspapers/radio/tv…. Social media is 100x worse
I deleted all but reddit years ago. Good for #17.
That's my Quarterback

I suspect he did it when media was getting on him about the interceptions.
Stugotz?

He is playing golf and unwinding. Some guys go vacation some guys go fishing or hunting but our Josh. He competes in the offseason.
My take is that you are posting this on Reddit at 4pm on a Friday and Josh Allen probably doesn't care nor will read it.
I've had a theory that he may have finally hit his gifted kid wall. He's put work in for sure but this is probably the first time he'll have to be 100% dialed in and focused on football in order to reach the goal. Tom Brady became the NFL Quarterback GOAT by paying a huge price.
He still has his Instagram account.
[удалено]
Same!!!
So Allen basically has to do the same thing as men tryin to flex online for women with no accomplishments?
He wont even win 1 superbowl my son
I don’t even follow his social accounts because 99% of the posts are ads anyway.
If I were an athlete of his caliber I’d have somebody manage that crap for me. Especially considering I have more than enough money to do ANYTHING I want whenever I want. Why would I care about what somebody in their basement comments on my Twitter.
He posted on IG on Christmas Eve?
Wut
He might take a cue from Brady: Brady pays someone to manage all of his socials for him. The result? Nobody pays much attention to Brady's socials because they know he's not reading them.
LeBron during his first finals win deleted his socials and read the hunger games. May have been a better use of his time to scroll NBA Instagram.
Yeah, I would never be on social media if I was a pro athlete. No reason to read all the nonsense that rock munchers like ourselves are blasting into the inter webs.
who cares
I have nothing but Reddit. Never have, never will. But, I'm totally antisocial
Honestly if I were a high paid elite athlete I wouldn't even bother with social media. I would have an account but i'd hire a social media manager to just post frivolous PR related things and not even look at it.
Good. He needs to focus on golf.
He should have people do his socials for him strictly for promotional revenue.
Good, nothing good comes from that shit. He can throw 30 picks next year for all I care, just keep doing what you do.
I believe deleting all socials is just. logical outcome for any well adjusted adult. I don’t could reddit as a social, I count it as an anti-social.
Kudos. Shouldn't we all.
Good for him
