I really do. But how many jobs do you not get a choice where you have to live for multiple years? I find it refreshing in this age of ‘helicopter parents’ (see the circus in D.C.) and first round draft picks belittling other franchises that father and son here show class.

I’m sure that’s not his first choice but since he has no control he will accept it. Burrow has “it.” He has all of the QB intangibles and incredible pocket awareness. I will be surprised if he isn’t a good NFL QB. for me, the only question is whether he will be a star right out of the box or will it take him a couple years to get there. i'm leaning towards him being a star right out of the box.

I expect I’d disagree with your take as I believe Jackson is quite intelligent, just as Harbaugh asserts. Tank is probably the wrong word. Let’s just say I think he didn’t see it as important thus didn’t bother to prepare for it, just like he didn’t bother with the 40 yd dash or agility events.

Jonah Williams will be back and he said he will only play LT in the nfl. So it looks like it’s his job to do so. Wonder if Glenn is even back in Cincy next year, things were pretty tenuous between those two parties this year. 1

Yep, starting with the o-line so the kid doesn't get killed. Any position on the line that is questionable should be upgraded. Also, I doubt Cincy lets AJ Green go, they have a vet WR1 who will be a friendly target for a rookie QB. 1

Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 He may be happy playing in his home state, but he may not be thrilled playing on that particular team, especially if Green is not Green anymore or is moved.

There was zero evidence this was in store. 2) he’s older 3) personally, I like qbs who put up huge college numbers who are carrying the team. He was playing on a nfl offense. that said, I really like him and that was as dominant of a season as I have ever seen. I think they should keep Dalton for one more year but they suddenly became really interesting. Their skill players are pretty good. They have the woman puncher at rbs and some good rbs. Their oline sucks. C.Biscuit97 a good friend of mine moved to New Orleans years ago and got me hooked on LSU football. They're my 3rd favorite team behind only The Ohio State Buckeyes & the University of Cincinnati. I saw most of last years LSU games and thought Burrow did pretty good with a very young team against a BRUTAL schedule. Considering how inexperienced he and the rest of the offense were his numbers were above average and he actually had a solid season. He showed flashes of brilliance in leading LSU to big wins over 3 top 10 teams last year. Check out hist last two games from last year - a mega SEVEN OT loss to Texas AM and LSU's New Years Day Bowl victory over an undefeated UCF. In both games Burrow was stellar and offered a nice preview of what he would do this year. BTW it was those games that Joe Brady watched in the off season after getting the job that convinced him that Burrow could run a wide open spread offense.

The only major knock on him is arm strength as he throws a rainbow arch on deep balls. Faster safeties and CB's in the NFL will take advantage of that. That's the only reason he's not an "Andrew Luck" can't miss type prospect.

As it turns out, if he has the arm to overthrow the WR by 10 yards, there’s very little risk of in interception. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself........ . Edited January 18, 2020 by Augie
