Athlete Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Burrow = fool’s gold!!!! LSU’s offensive line is unbelievably great. His receivers are the top two receivers in the country. Even his defense is tops in the nation. It is extremely hard for Burrow to fail in his position. He will not have any of the above mentioned luxuries in the NFL with the Bengals. Tough to really grade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I suppose Burrow was surrounded by elite protection from the Athens HS line while he smashed record after record in HS too, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but this hype train has NO BRAKES Anyway we have good DE's, our only starting caliber QB was tragically run over by the team bus around midseason.

PatternMaster Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 This is the worst idea, Jameis is a turn over machine and Chase Young can't affect a team like a QB. Burrow is the pick, no debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HavePityPlease Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Yeah I was one of the ones who voted "trade down" originally, having barely seen any of the players other than highlights. I watched all of Burrow's performance yesterday and yeah... no debate, you take the guy. Yes he has a good o-line but he escapes pressure fantastically when it does come, he reads the field really well and he's obviously stupid accurate. The thing I was most surprised by, considering his season completion percentage, is that he/the team are constantly calling/throwing long pass plays... no dink-and-dunk here, he's legit tearing that shit up.

Name me one QB who is playing at the top of the NCAA and doesn't have a good Oline and WRs. Posts like this simply do not understand the college game. Yes we will have to protect him, but all teams need to protect their QB. There isnt a team in the NFL that has a bad Oline that is going to make let alone win in the playoffs. That said there isnt a team in the NFL that has a mediocre QB that is going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 I'll give you Dilfer, but Foles was playing like a very good QB in that run, he just hasnt been able to recreate that. Also the Dilfers doing that are not as common, and we certainly arent getting anywhere with Andy Dalton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whodey? Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 I was totally in the Chase Young camp, but after more thought and seeing Burrow light it up yesterday, I believe we make that guy our new franchise quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind going into this season they lost their LT before the season started and their backup LT who was the starter last year who was going to play guard after they lost their starting guard to forced early retirement that happened after the draft and FA. I agree that the line has much to be desired and needs upgrading in a few spots, but some of the problems were things they could not anticipate. Having to play a 3rd string LT that should not even be in the league which is your most important position on the line is going to hurt every single team that it happens to I dont care who it is. I expect some improvement next year and hope they address at least one guard spot in FA, but well see. That said you have to take Burrow, it's not every year that you get the #1 pick and are in a position to take a Heisman winning QB. 2 hours ago, SF2 said: Dilfer had the #1 defense and a good o-line.

All I'm saying is, Burrow isn't going to come in here and single handedly fix the blocking,. the shitty tackling, bad playcalling, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And OU came in with the 25th ranked defense nationally. It’s okay to admit that Burrow is REALLY good.. Empty set. LSU played several great teams.

Le Tigre Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Yeah..a few more blocking TE's. And don't forget at least two RB's for good measure. And that's in free agency. Double that in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
