re: Three NFL analysts believe Bengals should not draft Joe Burrow

quote:

---

it’s about LSU fans not accepting who and what Burrow is.

---

He's a legend, a Heisman winner, National Champion, producer of the greatest QB season in SEC and CFB history and soon to be #1 overall pick. That's all LSU fans care about.

quote:

---

What I am curious about is how badly you will take it when Tua is a success and Burrow is not

---

The real question is how you will take it if it's the opposite If Joe Burrow is the next JaMarcus Russell or the next Peytpn Manning will not change or in any way diminish what he did at LSU in 2019, so if he doesn't pan out, no one at LSU will care.

which always seems to be the case when comparing LSU and Alabama.

What is this supposed to mean is a poor lil Gamecock having to live vicariously thru Bama since Clemson has done what USCe could never come close to?

As far as the NFL, LSU players have done at worst as well, if not better than Bama players.

If Burrow turns into Alex Smith and Tua becomes Marcus Mariota, does that mean you win or lose? Because I kinda think that means you lose.

the brilliance of his position is that anything short of Pat Mahomes or at least a SB win, he can claim victory. If you look at the QB's drafted #1 since Peyton Manning in 98, most have been busts. The only one that could make the Hall is Eli, who i don;t think should, but may because RINGS!!!! Newton won an MVP and got to a SB, Luck derailed by injuries, Palmer may been as well. Goff, looked promising in 2018 regressed last year, too early to tell on Murray, Mayfield trending in the wrong direction, the rest, pretty much crap.

So odds are in his favor especially with Burrow going to a shaky franchise like the Bengals. What's funny if he thinks this will be some crushing blow to LSU fans, what. sad pathetic existence that he has if he lives for being able to "rub it in the face" of strangers on a message board, if our legendary QB doesn't become an NFL super star

For bad teams, I’m almost always a fan of trading back. Teams “pay” huge amounts to move up in the draft so the benefits to drop back drive long-term value. There is too much randomness and “misses” even in the early rounds for bad teams to not actively look to trade back. The addition of multiple first and second round picks dramatically improves the hit rate odds and sometimes marginally impacts the “quality” of player.

For example, the Bengals trading back to anywhere in the 5-10 range does very little to impact the quality of player they are getting. They could still likely get the #1 player at his position for every spot on the field except QB with less variance in production than the QB spot offers.

False. Every lsu fan would cry because they've realized their "legend" was nothing more than a system QB

Did Florida fans cry about their multiple national championships because Tebow was milky dogshit in the NFL?

Gonna lean towards no.

Well if that’s the case then LSU will keep churning out seasons like LSU just had

Joe Brady ain't walking back through those doors

Any other QBs you re-evaluate their college careers based on NFL success?

Yes, all of the ones who suck as an NFL QB

It’s game cock alum so it’s both

You sure are dick riding Bana. Worry about your own team. Or change your team logo

2 of them make the "QB is the least of your worries, You have so many holes you are this QB will jsut get killed like your last QB> Focus on More picks" arguement

Hall reminds people that being fast is often more important than being smart.
