re: How big of a problem do you think Burrow's underthrows will be in the NFL?

So you found a handful of short throws? Do I need to post the perfect ones he threw against Clemson where he was hitting his receivers in stride?

I still can’t believe Chase lost that last one in the lights. It was a perfect throw.

I mean, I think part of this is just the fact that Burrow took a lot of deep shots as it was an important aspect of the LSU offense and they had the confidence that he could make these throws. If you are taking more deep shots, you are going to have more underthrows and probably also several overthrows as well. That's just how it is. I'm not sure what exact percentage of his longer passes were under-thrown or over thrown, but from watching him a good bit this year, idk if I would classify this as a chronic problem for Burrow. He seemed, more often than not, to put the ball in places where his admittedly talented receivers had a higher percentage play on the ball than the DB who was in coverage.

I mean, look at some of the throws he had on Monday night. He had 3-4 absolute strikes that were right on the money from 20+ yards out. These were the sort of throws that you see and say 'yeah this guy is a legitimate NFL talent'. He even had another one that was dropped early in the 4q -- the pass was not perfect but it could and maybe should have been caught. All this to say I don't think this will be a big problem for him. He won't be dropping dimes every play but I think he showed that he can make some hellacious throws of 20+ yards.

Part of the problem is that he is almost certainly going to Cincinatti, whose receiving corps is going to be less than stellar more than likely; like LSU's receiving corps this past season might actually be just as good or better than Cincy next year potentially. If they lose AJ Green (which they probably will) they are going to have Boyd as #1 and then John Ross -- a first rounder who has been pretty inconsistent. I mean hopefully they can add a big name if they lose Green but they don't like to spend $.

This guy is trolling. Just let this thread die.

What I am asking is if he continues to underthrow passes as often as he does will better

He doesn’t often under throw them though

No I posted two clips as an example. Im not gonna sit here and find ten clips of Burrow underthrowing passes. It is a known fact that Burrow does have a tendency to underthrow passes. Not saying he never puts passws on the money. This isnt a hard concept to understand

Well, here’s a breakdown by people who actually did go through all of his throws. 75% of them that were 20+ yards down field were on target.

Is that good, or should we just keep taking your opinion seriously?

But is it really? Because I've seen clips from multiple shows on ESPN/FOX in the last week specifically praising Burrow for throwing a pretty deep ball.

You aren’t allowed to criticize Burrow, mate

You aren’t allowed to make broad sweeping generalizations about QB tendencies based on 2 throws

It is like people on this board have never heard of an "example."
