Joe Burrow Says Alabama Offered Him To Be Their Third-String QB, Here Was His Response

by Staff Reporter

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

During a recent interview on The Lefkoe Show, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow talked about the offers he was getting from schools when he hit the transfer market back in 2018.

One of those offers came from Alabama to be their third-string quarterback, according to Burrow.

As you can imagine, Burrow wanted no part in that...

Nick has a hard time evaluating QB injuries it would seem. No thank you, we dont want Brees, give me Duante Culpepper lolololololol. Thanks Nick, you gave my saints a superbowl. And you also just gave my Tigers the greatest season in NCAA history.

To be fair Nick really wanted Brees...Heizinga (sp) shut it down.

TRUST ME! THEY KNOW ABOUT YOU NOW!!!

Jizzy08•50 months

They learnt quick!!

That was just to keep Joe from going to LSU. He doesn't just recruit to strengthen Alabama. He also recruits Louisiana prospects to weaken LSU. He is definitely aware of his greatest potential threat.

otowntiger•50 months

I was just thinking the same exact thing. Saban was doing some defensive recruiting. Trying to stockpile unneeded talent just to keep it away from their rivals.

Mouche337•50 months

Absolutely agree! Saban has done that since he got to Bama! He does that with staff too! Remember when word got out that LSU was interested in Sarkisian for the OC under Miles? Saban signed him as a consultant just to keep him away from LSU. That actually worked out well for LSU. It also cost Bama a title. Sarkisian was the OC when Clemson blew out Bama in the title game. Then he left after that and took the OC in Atlanta (Which also helped the Saints).

LusciousBaller11•50 months

Nick Saban sounds like Vince McMahon and WWE in terms of stockpiling talent just so their rivals wouldn't get them.

GeauxsomeMeaux•50 months

Bama would have Won the last 2 Championships if they would have signed AND STARTED Big Dik Jeaux!!!

atltiger6487•50 months

well Bama had Hurts and Tua, so I really can't blame them, based on what they knew at the time.

beauchristopher•50 months

He was transferring for an opportunity to play. Why would anyone waste time offering him as a third string?

TigerMak•50 months

Simple, buddy. Same ol bammer strategy. They knew we were interested in Joe as the starter and they were just taking a shot at keeping him away from us.

KyrieElaison•50 months

They know about him now!

GOAT!

Now his response can be RTWFU.

DoubleDown•50 months

For 1 season, yep. Just remember, you might be getting the WFU part back from Bama this season.

Gaspergou202•50 months

Might. Might not. But 100% certain TRW?FU!

Gaspergou202•50 months

Might. Might not. But 100% certain it is RTW?FU! Forever.

eddieray•50 months

To be fair, they did already have a few QBs in the fold at the time.

Gotta love BDJ! What he lacks in confidence, he makes up for it in sincerity! Hoping for nothing but best for his future!

KCT•50 months

I just wish you could come back next year for the sequel, Joe.

saint tiger225•50 months

Da GOAT. All hail ye king Burrow!

blueboxer1119•50 months

They do now Joe.

idlewatcher•50 months

lol

SS21•50 months

It's amazing the Bama ducks here showing up to....idk what they're doing, I don't think like a backwoods cuck, dudes being asked questions and is answering.... By the way, he's a straight boss and stomped you'll out in your house

5Wide•50 months

And he got stomped out in his house by 29 points LOL

GeauxsomeMeaux•50 months

Why do these Bama fricks care so much out our boards and websites and we don’t give a frick about theirs?

vjp819•50 months

Gotta love him.

yeauxkneauxit•50 months

HA! In your face bama. ??

DoubleDown•50 months

What did you expect from Bama in 2018? Quite honestly, he would've been Bama's 3rd string QB based on how he played in 2018.

Big EZ Tiger•50 months

But why would Bama think he would want to go there to be 3rd string when he was transferring from Ohio State for being 2nd string and not playing? Pretty dumb thought from Bama's coaches.

10MTNTiger•50 months

It’s okay to just admit every team (except LSU) completely missed the mark evaluating Burrow. Your comparison doesn’t work either as Tua and Hurts are not remotely comparable to this season’s Joe...sorry.

DoubleDown•50 months

Sigh, some of you and reading comprehension. Bama evaluated him from what they saw at the time (in 2018). @10MTNTiger, your point is moot on how he played in 2019, no one could see the future.
