re: Jason Whitlock's take on Joe Burrow

You realize the liberals are using these talking points as well. Neither actually accomplished anything though, just pushed money around to say they did.

Nah liberals gave blacks govt housing and govt resources because they think that’s the only way blacks survive. Republicans just think if you get white liberals and politicians out of the way they’ll be much more successful. All those things I listed last post was done under Trump, nobody else

Anyone with half a brain knows offensive play calling, along with piss poor O line play have been main factors on the rough start for Burrow.

---

Baloney! You don’t know that. Burrow often faced explosive pass rushes at LSU, but he almost always seemed to know just where to go to beat it. He doesn’t seem as sharp now. Is that because he’s not working as hard as he used to in the film room? I don’t know, and neither do you.

Did you know he’s in the NFL now?

Also this thread is chock full of the usual contrarians going at each other. Been an enjoyable read

What's wrong here is using his platform as a conservative to blame liberalism as the reason Burrow is struggling.

---

Exactly. Whitlock is just like any other outspoken liberal or conservative sports guy. Looking for attention and clicks and pointing to someone else’s perceived ideology as a point of discussion. However you feel about what Burrow has said publicly on sociopolitical issues, to blame that for his start to this year is beyond asinine.

If Burrow was out here saying he wasn't vaxxed and railed on the government for high gas prices, this thread would be a Texas A&M sized circle jerk about how awesome Burrow is. There would be nobody questioning if his mind is on football and everyone would be blaming the Bengals offensive issues on the O-line (which is the problem, not Burrow).

Weird, I'm a Trump voter and don't hold anything Burrow says against him. I also root for Mike Thomas and Cam Jordan.

Burrow seemed to be 100% football at all times in college to make his dream come true. And his dream was winning a college football national championship (he said that numerous times). He was hyper-focused.



Then why did he talk about the Athens, OH water issues during his Heisman speech?

---

You mean the 3 sentences he mentioned about poor kids in Ohio AFTER he thanked his entire O-line and some backups by name, his starting WRs and his head coach after winning college football's most prestigious award in the biggest landslide vote ever? Come on, dude.

And I don't remember him talking about Ohio's water in his speech. He just said he came from an area with a lot of poor kids and that those kids could end up on that stage like him (and Athens, where he grew up, is the poorest city in Ohio and one of the poorest in America, so it ain't like he was lying or being dramatic).

Also, his Heisman speech came after he already had the best regular season for a QB in college football history and had secured a spot in the national championship game.

Wrong as usual. You have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re basically a living bot

Promise you this is Joe wore a Maga hat and mentioned how we need to secure the border, the idiots on this board would cream in their jeans over him

Of course they would. Trump broke this country politically.

It's not like he straight up "blamed liberalism" after that either. He started to wonder if the fur coats, gold chains, and politically charged opinions were a part of the problem. I personally disagree with Whitlock about that, but his argument was actually rather tame, particularly for him.

---

The idea that someones social opinions is a reason for their bad play in sports is ludicris. Burrow had these same opinions at lsu and the year he dragged that sorry excuse for a franchise to the super bowl.
