Joe Namath on Joe Burrow.

SI: When did you first become aware of Joe Burrow? What did you see when you watched him? Namath: The first time I saw him was when he was playing at LSU. And the whole team was impressive. And he wasn't doing as much as he’s called upon to do in the pros. He wasn’t moving about on his feet. I didn’t see him be that elusive. But watching him in college was an introduction for me to see how well he threw the ball. And I’ve watched him grow. He’s smart. He’s got every attribute that the guys in the past have had, the guys that have won championships. If he can get the Cincinnati team to improve some, they’ll win more than one.

Namath [unprompted]: I’d like to see them win. But I don’t pull against the Rams, because I like [Matthew] Stafford. But it’s the old AFL thing for me. [With Burrow,] I also watch the head movement. Man, he’s not hesitating. It’s nice to watch him move around to his options. Tom Brady is a special animal. But Burrow has a nice way about changing speeds on his passes, and he can throw everything, not unlike Tom. He’s stronger, and he’s from Ohio, and you know Pennsylvania [where Namath grew up] and Ohio. We always thought we could play football. He can.
quote:
SI: You played with as much style as anybody. What do you make of Burrow’s vibe? Namath: Well, with the cigars, my daughter, Jessica, asked me about it when it first occurred. I said, ‘Well, honey, that’s not new.’ It was a tradition, when we beat Tennessee, that coaches and managers would pass out cigars. LSU probably had the same tradition. I can’t believe they let him smoke now, but God bless him. He’s smiling. Takes me back.

Must not have watched him torch Bama on the ground either.

Remember BWJoe hasn’t seen a lot of anything in the past couple years. Exceptin the sauce bottle.

Yeah…..either he is full of shite and never watched him at LSU or he is back on the sauce and was hammered when he did. Either way Namath’s opinion on a QB’s game means zero to me. Namath being in the Hall of Fame is a insult to most QB’s that are in there.

Joe N was on his 5th Old Fashion by 7pm eastern, he was passed out.

Being elusive in the pocket and avoiding pressure to make the play is literally what won him the Heisman.

Joe should focus on his medicare commercials, which he’s really bad at.

Or the game against his alma mater

He didn't watch him play much if he didn't see how elusive burrow was. Pretty wild running around the pocket making move just to stay behind the line of scrimmage to give his wr a bit of time to get open so he can throw...
He has some wheels also so not a one trick pony.

Joe was like a bullfighter against the horns, bama and Georgia. when i see replays of those games I would yell “Toro” out loud to the kids.

Haha, wanna know how I know Joe Namath saw Burrow play approximately 1 game in his LSU career?
Posted on 2/9/22 at 5:53 pm to LeClerc
Pretty decent assessment, by Namath, considering most of the time he’s not sober.
