In one of Burrow's post season interviews one comment sticks out the most to me.

I believe it was with Rich Eisen.
Burrow was asked, "what is your strength?" Paraphrasing....Burrow said his strength was his preparation. Starting on Monday and by Thursday he knew opposing defenses and where to attack them on Saturday.
God, I hope this is a QB tradition that stays with LSU forever.

Myles Brennan learned what it takes to be a championship QB.
Bet that.
Bet that.

Brady may have had something to do with that, but I think that it mostly speaks to Burrow's incredible work ethic. He put in the time to study film and gave 110% on every play. Burrow and Brennan seemed to have developed a close friendship, so hopefully some of that rubs off on Myles. Brennan seems like a good kid who takes the job seriously.

quote:He also said the entire team was doing off-season player-only practices on Saturdays and sometimes Sundays. THAT is what makes an offense run like a Swiss watch.

At the championship level, it is more about the "Want-To" and the elbow-grease than the raw talent.

His preparation and pre-snap reads are huge parts of his success as is his toughness and competitiveness. That said, the biggest part of his game that is overlooked is...
FOOTWORK.
I don’t think people realize how hard it is to chain your base (feet) to your eyes and your progressions. Go back through the season and try to find a time when Burrow threw off his back foot from the pocket. Just didn’t happen. On the throws where he went through 2, 3, 4+ progressions, he was having to make changes to his base on every look. It’s incredibly tough to do when your internal clock is also running due to pressure. The guy is a fundamental dynamo.

Next years team will be a lot different. We will have Chase and Marshall back but will need a 3rd and 4th WR to step up. We also will need to replace Sullivan’s great run blocking. However, the 2 most important things to replace are the brains in the middle, Joe Burrow and Loyd Cushenberry. The blending experience, knowledge and talent will be very hard to replace next year. I think the team will gain a lot of experience next year and make their run in 2021.

Well word on the street is Brennan is too worried about his girlfriend so his preparation will suffer.

"The game isn't won on Saturday, its won on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday" - Joe Burrow

Nobody I have ever seen can process on the college level like Burrow this season. When you look at guys like Jalen and Fields, even Tua, they are usually two target options max. Burrow could process the whole field like no one I've ever witnessed in college football.
Preparation and being able to process said preparation makes you the GEAUT.

Well at age 14, Myles Brennan can become the youngest NCAA champion ever.

Which is why in games he never looks flustered, confused, or frustrated.
