Beat out Dwayne Haskins for a QB job.
Break the SEC record for most passing yards in a season.
Stop all the ridiculous Joe Burrow threads on Saints Talk.

I'll name one: claim to have accomplished anything in the NFL. Yet you want to trade a Hall of Fame caliber wide receiver in his prime for him. Stick to fake wrestling. Your opinions on actual sports are laughable.

This is freaking stupid.

Burrow is a great college Qb but there’s a few things in his game that you can point to him not being a great nfl Qb. You’ll have to take off the purple glasses though.
He has Elite talent around, so that has to be taken into account.
First, he doesn’t have elite arm strength. He’s got great touch and accuracy, but not elite arm strength.
Second, he has been strictly a shotgun Qb this year. No different then the previous ten years of big 12 QBs.
Third, this relates to the previous, he hasn’t shown the ability to turn his back to a defense and then read the coverage quickly. This is shown from his struggles last season when playing under center to this year being all shotgun. Last year he was a 50% completion guy. Coaches realized it and adjusted this year. It seems he has to be facing the defense.

Also the notion that he plays in a “saints style offense” is extremely inaccurate and over used.

Burrow my be a good nfl Qb, but you don’t trade a future hall of fame WR for him.
