Shade? A compliment? What did Pat Shurmur’s remark about Josh Allen mean?

Did New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur throw a little shade at Buffalo Bills second-year quarterback Josh Allen on Wednesday? Here is what Shurmur said when asked what the organization thought of Allen as they studied for the 2018 NFL Draft:

“We thought he was a big, strong thrower. A guy that had a chance to be a starter in the NFL,” Shurmur said.

Is that shade? Is that a compliment? Is it nothing at all?

The Giants, of course, had a chance to draft Allen in 2018.
