Good question why he became Mr. Irrelevant.

Scouting reports across the board were positive.

6'1"

Strengths:
Accurate passer
Pocket composure
Excellent decision maker
Good ball placement
Throws a very catchable ball
Good timing
Shows anticipation
Able to loft in touch passes
Natural feel; instinctive passer
Leads receivers for more yardage after the catch
Moves eyes through progressions
Mastered his offense
Good fit for a West Coast offense
Very experienced

Weaknesses:
Arm-strength limitations
Not a running threat
Will struggle to avoid pass rushers

There you go. Everyone fricking wants that now out of their QB.

Look at how good and accurate Burrow is but he can't avoid shite. Sack stat monster.

Easier to invest in an elusive QB, than a Berlin wall O-line.

That's why Caleb Williams will be so coveted. His O-line sucked at USC this year but he danced his way to completions.

Burrow is actually pretty elite at moving around and avoiding sacks brotha

He just isn’t Lamar, Allen or Mahomes

Which is interesting because he's been shockingly agile under pressure. He's extended way more plays than he had business extending

Arm strength probably needs to hit hard in the offseason but he doesn't throw noodles and miss windows due to lack of velocity. And his deep ball is catchable af, way more than Jimmy

What's funny is the last two listed weaknesses are flat arse wrong.

While not a runner or built for designed runs, but he's regularly bolting the pocket for 1st downs. And his ability to avoid pass rushers is second to none due to his incredible shiftiness. (His time in the 10 yard split is exactly .01 seconds less than Lamar Jackson.)

He got devalued based on height and perceived lack of arm strength.

Burrows problem was that he was holding the ball a bit too long at times AND had an awful OL. Both have improved this year. He is actually pretty shifty for a guy not really known as a runner.
