Lame comparison.

Burrow could knock down a brick wall if he chose to. Burrrow throws with touch because he WANTS to. Not because he can't throw smoke,

Judge a QB by his ability to complete passes (at a high completion percentage) to every area of the field. NOT by his choice to throw hard when an underhand toss would be 5 times more effective.

Burrow throws bullets when he NEEDS to. Which is not all that often. BTW, it takes MUCH more skill to throw with touch than to throw all fastballs.

I hope you don't grow a weird obsession for Brennan, like you have for Burrow.

There is no need to exaggerate Joe's arm strength. It's not a knock on him. It's really his only weakness. There have been quite a few times he has underthrown deep balls.

As you state, he has learned how to use touch and timing to make the right throw and play to his strengths.

Let me start by saying that Burrow will go down as the best quarterback to ever play at LSU.

That being said, there have been a couple of throws where he had to give it everything he had. You can see what kind of of arm strength he has. It’s not a strength of his.

Peyton Manning (despite the commercial claiming he had a “laser, rocket arm”) didn’t have a strong arm either (the latter half of his career at least). He was able to make quick decisions and get rid of the ball before the receivers could outrun his arm.

I agree BJ. The biggest arm in the NFL was the biggest flop.

somebody's offended.

btw, JRUSS->Mett->Brennan->Burrow if speaking only in "live arm" talent.

Joe can make all the throws, though.

And accuracy, ACCURACY, is critical. Hopefully, Brennan can bring that along with pre- and post-snap identification.

frick you are unbearable, Joe is receiving UNIVERSAL praise, and you still cant support, or be positive regarding LSU players. God damn I cant wait until January 15th.
