Then after spotting the Orange paw prints a 10 point lead to make it more interesting he went on to torch them for over 4 bills like they were Broadmoor Junior High.

I think it’s funny when people say he has below average arm strength. It’s not elite but it’s well above average




The entire scouting report is based on NFL QBs. Joe's arm strength is not well above average in the NFL.

Saw nose of ball dive on some throws field-side


I noticed this as well, slight elbow raise and adjustment of the pointer finger will get rid of it

The comparison Ive seemingly seen the most is Romo, and Im not sure I agree (I still say Brady) but even Romo and Warner are MASSIVE compliments, they were legitimately great NFL QBs, I will be so god damn proud if Joe hits those heights

Are they seriously talking about 1 quarter of 1 game for his entire career as a “weakness”?

Whole article is clownish

Disagree. His first year as a starter expectedly started with a hum, but his last third of the season was fantastic. Very close to what he achieved as a Senior.

There’s some dumb stuff for sure but this is the dumbest.

“Polar opposite seasons in 2018 and 2019”

Polar opposite of the greatest quarterback season in the history of college football would be the worst season in the history of college football.

In reality, when he got comfortable with the offense and with his new teammates, he began to catch fire and led the team to a #6 final ranking.

Don’t really see how that’s a weakness, but I guess if you have to nit pick then whatever


A decent season and an amazing season are not “polar opposites.”

A level of scheme fit is necessary


Why would this be a weakness? Every QB has to fit the scheme if the offense is going to be successful

I think Some of his negatives are fair

But some are really nit picky

I dont Think he has a cannon but he can get the ball everywhere it needs to go.

The fact that he has some issues early ca the best defense in college football isn’t a weakness. If it is every QB has that weakness and most don’t gone back to throw 5 TDS

I read that and it didn’t even register. I’ll blame it on it being early.

This might be my favorite post ever. Mainly bc I will never get over that INT.

Burrow took some sacks to avoid incompletions in my opinion to keep his completion percentage up.

He had the confidence he could get the yardage back on the next play.

Seemed There were many times he could/should have thrown it away and took the sack.

Is that really worth listing when he threw for 463 yards, ran for 58 yards and accounted for 6 TDs against their #1 ranked defense??

Well somebody had 2 come up with PROS & CONS for every player. Looks like whoever got stuck with CONS for JB had to really STRETCH just to fill in the spots on the list, LOL!

Burrow's stats didnt look good after the 1st Qtr BUT that looked to be the O-Line getn handled & the RBs missed a couple blitz pick-ups as well. Def wasn't JB's best QTR but IMO only 25-30% of that was on JB
