re: Remember all the OSU fans that trash talked Burrow after he transfered? Oh wait

Joe left before his eligibility ran out to play and lead a team, but only after a tough competition with an extremely talented QB who was a first round pick.
I only read the last couple of responses in this thread and this has already been said, but Burrow fulfilled his commitment to Ohio State by graduating. He competed for 3 full seasons. It's not like he just up and quit after one season like KJ did. IMO there's zero comparison here.

LSU fans have always been known to trash players, this is nothing new. Embarrassing yes, but nothing new
Yessir.
Some of our fans don't like to look in the mirror.
It was hilarious how KJ entered the transfer portal the first time, fans turned on him quickly of course. Then we got word his father talked him out of it, then he's a good kid again. Now he's back to trash.
Why don't people just say they don't really like these kids, but just like what they can do for the football team? Nothing wrong with sayiing that. At least it's honest.

Favorite person on campus is the back up QB

So hes trashed because he would play this year, and that is what makes that okay?
Justin McMillan transferred from LSU to Tulane because he would never see the field here, and most fans wished him well and hoped he'd have a good career there.
Burrow at Ohio State is the same situation- once he was NOT the starter as a redshirt Jr, it was clear he'd never be the QB at OSU. If the starter went down, they'd have looked at the younger guys instead. So Burrow moved on, looking for a chance to play.
Joseph, as an experienced 3rd corner, very likely plays nickel, and plays a ton, possibly more snaps than some starting D line guys and LBs. We absolutely could use him against Bama, A&M and other passing teams. He'd get tons of exposure and every chance to move up the depth chart during the year. And quite a few LSU DBs have been drafted and played in the NFL, despite not locking down a starting job here.
The TL, DR version: Burrow moved to get a chance, Joseph was going to get a chance and decided to move anyway.

While I agree that folks shouldn’t trash 19 and 20 year olds, it’s not the same Burrow.
An actual comparison would be Justin McMillan who I and many others are cheering for at Tulane. The kid competed for a position for 3.5 years before losing out to burrow and transferring.
There’s a difference from giving it your all and leaving cuz you won’t get an opportunity here and leaving after a freshman year where you played a lot because a true freshman beat you out.
But I don’t know Kelvin’s story so I don’t know the truth of why he is transferring.

It was clear to everyone but you. If Burrow had a chance to be the starting QB, he wouldn't have left the Ohio State program. But you won't admit that because you're biased and have some sort of connection to the young man or you wouldn't have created an account on Tigerdroppings when he transferred here.

Haskins was not named the starter out of spring ball. Burrow looked better in the spring game. Fortunately for LSU Burrow decide he couldn’t risk staying to compete through fall camp. It was still very much an open competition. That was how Urban handled the last Qb competition. They were almost equal in every way moving out of spring ball. It’s absolutely untrue that anyone knew he wasn’t going to start. Transfer was the only option Burrow had because if he stayed and got beat he could potentially sit the rest of his career behind Haskins. We know Haskins was great last year and Burrow struggled in a terrible offensive system. So I can see how you all think you got a 2nd rate quarterback. Let see how he looks this year in a modern offense. I bet it will become clear just how close those two were in terms of talent.

Why in the frick did Joe Burrow choose to leave Ohio State, if he thought he had a real chance to start there? He'd been there 3 years, he's from Ohio, and the program is big enough to make the playoffs (as they have been in, and have won). He'd be an idiot to leave.
It's like Alabama or Clemson. Guys left there, too. Not because they wanted to go to a better program, but because they wanted a chance to be the man, and they weren't going to get it at the school they were at. Hurts wasn't beating out Tua, and Bryant wasn't beating out Lawrence.
Burrow wasn't beating out Haskins.

quote:In reality, Burrow was expected to be behind both Haskins & Martell because of the package Urban wanted to use. Haskins wasn't named the starter, but everyone & their brother projected Haskins to have already sealed it because of what he did the season before.

So with Haskins proving his worth the season before & Martell likely getting the call in running packages because he's quicker than Burrow, Burrow saw himself waiting on an injury to get his time. OSU's knew that in April & Joe transferred in early May.

I didn't say Burrow was/is a 2nd rate quarterback in my post. And I don't believe anyone else has said that either.
All I'm saying is (and I have for quite a while) that it makes no sense to me for someone who has a chance to be named the starter at a program that you've been a part of for 3 years to leave that program.
If Burrow knew for a fact (which is what I believe) that he wasn't going to beat out Haskins for the starting job, then it makes sense to leave. In my opinion.

I've said the exact say thing to that idiot on more than one occasion. He never listens.

Its childish and sad for grown men to bash a young adult
I’m not much older than Kelvin Joseph, and frick the way he bahaves. A lot of the people bashing him and posting on this board are in college or not far removed from it. No class or professionalism whatsoever.
The “grown men bashing a college KID” crowd is so annoying, Kelvin Joseph is a grown arse man and can handle himself like an adult if he wants respect. I did it at his age, I still do it, and there’s no reason for him not to, whether he’s 18 or 20 or 25 or 30.
A 20 year old can act like shite on the national stage and “everyone needs to stop bashing him”, but if a 20 year old harmed one of your loved ones would you be suggesting that they’re tried as a juvenile? Probably not.

Well, is he running around acting like a jackass or is hurting people? That's two completely different things you're talking about here.

Please go away, resident board dipshit. I know, you disagree with anything that’s halfway rational. Go blow spit bubbles somewhere else. Again, I’m in the ballpark of Kelvin Joseph’s age and would never in a million years handle myself the way he has, and is fully expect criticism if I did. That’s my opinion, don’t really care if someone as stupid as you agrees with it or not

No, I’m talking about the perception of his adulthood. That’s one thing, and I have no clue why football players are babied while every single other person on earth is expected to act like a normal human being at 20.
