Seems like you get it for the most part.

Plus their fans rave about him and think he should have been their starter last year and this year.

My only slight worry is him learning the offense and meshing with everyone in such a short period of time.

But I'd put a lot of money on the line betting that he will learn and mesh just fine, if not better than our other QB's.

He's a grown man who's already been developed/coached by a great QB coach.

If you have to ask you either aren't paying attention or wouldn't understand it anyway. Ensminger has discussed it at length.

I’m not sold in him. I hope he comes in and is everything we hope for in a QB. But I’ll remain skeptical until I see it on the field.


Very fair take.

I think it’s a good thing we haven’t seen anything “bad” from JB, but like the OP said we haven’t seen anything meaningful either.
From the limited things I’ve seen he looks a lot more polished than the other 3 on our roster.
Although the latest QB ‘competition’ at OSU could’ve been fabricated by CUM just to keep JB around as a backup, if it was indeed as close as the Buckeyes made it seem I find it encouraging that he was in a tight race with Dwayne Haskins (who will be damn good at OSU).

1- The unknown can be imagined as fantastic or horrible. People project whatever they want to believe and then strongly believe it.

2- Wishful thinking. No QB broke away from the pack through spring. Odds are that none are ready to play SEC football, and not that all are ready. Or to put another way, the odds of having three mediocre QBs are vastly higher than having three All American QBs. So the faithful HOPE that he is an SEC caliber QB because the former stable are probably not.

3- Hope+projection=absolute certainty of his talent.

I HOPE they are right!

He's also a good fit for the system.


What system would that be???? You people are absolutely ignorant to the simplest of facts.

Because there’s a severe mental disorder for those who believe he’s the unequivocal answer & the CheeriO’s. What’s worse, they think they’re right.

An RPO-based singleback system utilizing 11 personnel, 12 personnel, and the occasional 4-5 wide sets. As has been stated numerous times.

Which people? And which facts would those be?

He seems to be more promising than the guys we currently have on staff besides him.

this is the correct answer.

Our other 3 QBs aren't the answer, so anybody we got was going to be hailed as the savior. That, and Burrow's highlights (although limited) look good.

My coworker went to Ohio State and loves Joe Burrow - very high on the guy.

Per him, “Joe is a legend in the State of Ohio..he still has a locker at Ohio State”

People fail to mention that Orgeron's the reason why none of our guys are ready.

It's O's fault Narcisse tore his knee twice in high school and Brennan is 180 lbs soaking wet?

Oh. Didn't realize.

Guess he should have sat on his hands and played McMillan, instead of doing something to address the issue.
