Okay. That's cool.

That's your opinion, and you've certainly got the right to voice your opinion. Nobody's holding that against you.

But in my opinion, he wasn't one of the 5 best QBs last season. And I have just as much of a right to voice my opinion as you do to voice yours. The problem I have with you is every time I've voiced my opinion on Burrow, instead of trying to state your claim in a mild rational manner, you've elected to call me an idiot or a hater or whatever the phrase of the day is where you come from.

I don't take kindly to that, and I'm sure that nobody else on the rant is fond of that kind of treatment either, yourself included.

Brady didn’t have mediocre stats you idiot. He was top 5 in every category in the conference.

There are 5 major conferences. And at least 5 more mid-majors. 5th in one conference is a mediocre stat.

Brady was 31st in passing efficiency in his senior year. Also a mediocre stat.

You're silly, Madking

Do you disagree with it?


He's hardly the worst poster on here. He was pointing out that no one likes to have their opinions questioned. An opinion is not a fact and you're acting like it is. Just stop and move on.

Interesting that you completely skipped over my question. I was actually asking.

Like I said, your mind is made up. It's pointless to try to have a rational discussion with you regarding Burrow.


Not even worth responding to.

Wrong again, being in the top 10% of all QBs when you’re not running a QB friendly offense isn’t mediocre. Next you’re gonna tell us him ranking 13th nationally in accuracy was mediocre too. Its also a double standard since Burrow didn’t rank as high in any stat yet you call him the best player in the country or even in your edited crawfish version a top 5 QB. Clear cut double standard as usual. Lol boy you’ve taken one of the worst beatings I’ve ever seen here it takes a real delusional masochist to keep begging for more.

So when Joe has a monster year because his offensive line is returning 4 starters and will improve, wrs are all returning basically and will improve, the run game absolutely improving, and the play calling improving w Joe brady, let me guess...

You'll say Joe burrow just improved a lot during the off season and it had next to nothing to do with all his limitations being removed or improved.

1. Was Tom Brady one of the best 5 QBs in the '99 draft? Of course he was.
2. Was he drafted as one of the first 5 QBs taken. No. The HCs and GMs were too inefficient to see past his mediocre stats.


This is a classic 20/20 hindsight analysis.

In typical Ree fashion you latch on to a point like a dog on a bone and will not let go. However, no matter how many times you say, it won’t be true, NFL people do draft SOLELY on stats. I could probably dig up multiple players with mediocre stats that were drafted high and definitely point to several that had amazing stats and were drafted late or not at all. NFL people do watch film, they also work players out. Sometimes they miss, sometimes a player develops late and becomes great after he gets to the pros

I didn’t even need to look up Brady’s stats to know that the dude was lying about them. I’ve never seen someone on here consistently run interference for a player/coach to the point where they blatantly lie about stuff that can easily be disproven. It’s so weird.

Kinda like when he kept denying he said Burrow would be a top 5 pick calling me a liar when it was literally one page away and easy for anyone to see? Lol seriously these people believe they can speak things into and out of existence.

It’s not so much that he’s lying but he takes it out of context. Compared today Brady’s numbers look very pedestrian but in 1999 they weren’t bad especially if they were running a Milesian type offense. But, that was 20 years ago, as Madking pointed out rules have changed, new schemes have been developed etc. Even worse was he brought up Montana’s stats In the 70s the wishbone was a dominant offense but the real kicker is the offense Montana ran in SF wasn’t really invented yet, ok sure Bill Walsh and Paul Brown had created what would become the WCO in Cincinnati but the NFL rule changes that really opened up the passing game came in 1978, at that point the NFL was 60/40 run/pass.

also, Brady didn't get all the snaps at Michigan, Drew Henson rotated in a bit in 99. I think Henson even started some games. also, I'm pretty sure Brady's season total doesn't include his bowl stats, CFB was kinda weird like that back then*

* am I gonna mention Ro's Sugar Bowl stats not appearing in his 01 totals? of course I am

I don't think its the pressure of big games that gets to him. Its when he gets put on the ground. If we could hit him more(not even necessarily sacks), we could have had a much better game against him.

Exactly, Pensa.

And the defenses will be peppered with 3 to 5 yard (high-percentage) passes when they attack the run, and bolled over by an RB when they cheat back off the line.

Burrow won't be a different QB, but his stats will jump up by leaps and bounds.

And, of course Tom Brady's 1998 college stats were mediocre. He was trapped in DeBord's gawd-awful scheme. That's why he went in the 6th round. Brady was the best QB in dacades in 1998. But he was trapped in a shite scheme.

And back to my central point[b]:

“QB stats are HEAVILY affected by team play and scheme.”
Take. It. To. The. Bank.
