That being said I've never been a CA so I really should probably keep it shut until I upgrade

I don't think a proactive FO is a bad thing at all. I think he was referring to a FO that might overstep the captain's authority. Probably not an intentional thing, especially if they were regional captains for quite sometime. Takes awhile to get used to being back in the right seat.
Just an example and its not a great one but when is the last time you reached up and turned on the seat belt sign in light chop without talking with the captain?
