Burrow faced very good competition all year, although you're certainly onto something saying he had a competitive advantage over pretty much everyone they played. Usually I hate guys who play on great teams, but that's beginning to change. What does Burrow do well: - Good arm - Elite accuracy to all levels of the field - Throws with touch - Plus mobility His game translates to the NFL. I think you could plug him into most NFL offenses and he'll be relatively successful. Not saying he'll be a Hall of Famer, but he looks like a guy who could throw for 4,000 yards and 25 TD in the NFL so long as he's on a half decent team. (My two cents) I like Burrow, but I still think the QB position is as hard as it’s ever been to evaluate from an NFL standpoint. Part of it is the fact that these QBs are coming into the league incredibly young and fans expectations are outrageous and completely out of line. 2
sodbuster Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Who's taking advantage of the megacast offerings? I'm watching the coaches film room and it's great.

Jim Thorpe, Tony Dorsett, Sammy Baugh, Staubach, Hugh Green, etc likely have greater college legacies. Also, really look at the defensive players (Hugh Green, Charles Woodson, etc) that won Heisman’s.... There’s usually a reason. Also, these guys all played four years of college ball. No early exits for them... 2

Arm, accuracy, mobility, feel for the game, smarts. He's a plus in all of those areas.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 They introduced Jim Brown as the best player in college football history. Hell, he's the best football player of all time - a moving nightmare. 3

wppete Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 I think Joe Burrow is going to be a great pock for Cincinnati. That guy just gets it done and crazy accurate.

It’s about total college career. I devalued Desmond Howard because of that. Defenders winning though is a big deal to me as it’s almost always a QB or RB by default.
zow2 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Jeez the games started well over 2.5 hours ago. Still at halftime

Hell, he's the best football player of all time - a moving nightmare. He’d face a lot more scrutiny in today’s league. I’m not judging, but they’d be looking into his off-field behavior a lot more. Lots of smoke there.... not sure if there’s fire.

You know what's not becoming more and more like the ones in the NFL, the defenses they face when they get to the next level. Totally different world in the schemes they will see. Big answer by Clemson. 3
