Good write up on SDS in general, but this made me laugh:

“ I’ve never seen a guy with this killer instinct. Not just to beat you but steal your soul. He wants to ruin everything about you and the defensive coordinator. He takes it so personally, that week’s battle against whomever it is. All guys are competitive. All guys want to win. But this guy is borderline arrogant, borderline, ‘Were you OK as a kid?’ A mean dude, in a good way. If he’s your quarterback, it’s great.”

Absolutely, Joe Burrow's mission was to dissect the defense of the opponent every week. He studied football like no other we have seen, while quarterbacking the perfect season. A pure scholar of the game.



And that was only part of Joe's game.

Simply the greatest qb in the history of college football. He was only hurt in that because of his transfer.
If he plays at 1 school (OSU or LSU), he hands down would have untouchable stats.

He not only did the film work, but the ball was where it needed to be in tight spots every time.

Best ever and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.

He's definitely the guy you don't want to see lining up against your team.

Dear Herbie-
He was left Home Alone as a kid. Traumatizing. That’s what made him the monster he is today.

I debated on going to a lot of games.. so glad I ended up going to most of them.. especially the natty.

I’d be kicking myself if I missed seeing him play

We are living the best decades Tiger football has ever seen because of warriors like Joe and lovable clowns like Les

I said it during last season the dude is a stone cold assassin. I am thinking back through my history of watching football and I can't think of any QB at any level with so much swagger.

studying film against a team is one thing but to have the pocket presence to be able to get out of trouble is Another. I have never seen a QB in college and only a select few in the pros be able to get out of trouble when the line collapsed and make positive plays whether it be with his arm or his legs. Go back and watch all the games from last season this guy is unreal in the pocket. We may never see another guy navigate a pocket like joe did last year

Speaking of Herbstreit, one of the best broadcast moments of the entire season was 3rd and 17 at Texas.

Herby nearly imploring LSU to run the ball to force Texas to at least use one of their timeouts.

Legit made me laugh out loud. Can’t believe how good we just had it baws. I’ve definitely got a 1b favorite team now. If they can surround him with a stout O-line, sheeeeit. That Baw’s gonna get a ring within three years. Just you wait.

One thing Joe did was to elevate the play of the entire offense. The other players knew before anyone else how good they could be with him at the helm, and they worked their asses off so they could play at his level. The result was the best college offense in the history of the game, bar none.

Spot on...... let’s hope Myles can become some of that...... Burrow was THE MAN when he stepped on the field..... the offense trusted him and so did the coaches...... he made plays that were smart when he needed them to get that crucial 1st down our take time off the clock..... every game matters and he treated it that way, however when the stakes were higher he got even better.......

The thing I love about Joe Burrow is that he was a FOOTBALL PLAYER - not "just a QB".

The greatest example was against Bama when he turned the ball over in the pocket (either a fumble or a batted ball). In less the one second, he was completely in defense mode and he made a scoop-and-score-saving tackle on the guy who recovered the ball. Completely sacrificed his body against a much bigger player.
