How Good is Joe Burrow

[LostInDaJungle]

I love it when a thread ages well.

 

It cannot be overestimated how good the Baltimore secondary is. And they had their best guy on Burrow's favorite target. 200+ yards.

The biggest thing holding Joe Burrow back right now is Zac Taylor's play calling. When they start giving him more freedom to change the play in the second half... You saw it. Hell, I even said I didn't expect a 40 year old Elway, and ol' Johnny would have killed to have that game on his stat line.

With Chase making guys look silly, Burrow seeing, throwing, and keeping it going... Let's face it Burrow might be the league MVP if he keeps this up. This offense is starting to hit their stride. But they're also not going to sneak up on anyone anymore. To paraphrase Cher, "I believe in a guy called Joe. I feel something inside me say I think that kid is good to go. Ooooo-oh-oh-oh."

Burrow is like a prime Montana who will mature into a Brady with much quicker feet and greater accuracy.

Joe Burrow is a perfect example of why you don't judge a QB by his skill tests at the combine. What's most important about a QB is what's between the ears and his leadership. Then there's accuracy. Arm strength and 40 time are far down on the list. This is why Joe has football people drooling and Cam Newton is out of the league

And this is what I keep trying to tell my hubby when he starts spouting off how great Herbert is and telling me that "I can admit I was wrong" about wanting Burrow instead of Herbert. I keep telling him I'm perfectly happy with Burrow.  He just has IT.

Absolutely. I'm happy for the Chargers that they got a good QB and all but I have no second thoughts. Burrow was perfect for our SW Ohio team. Perfect fit. 

 

Sports folks on national shows are also debating this and they generally are siding with Burrow in a close call due to his moxy.

 

It's the Lions who should be kicking themselves for not drafting Herbert.

 

As for the hubby, tell him to watch Josh Allen in the post season this yr and tell me how the Browns made the right choice

Oh, he knows Josh Allen is better and wishes he had him. He wasn’t enamored of the Baker Mayfield pick.

It is not about his arm or his mobility. It is about his brain and heart. His greatest assets are not visible to the naked eye. Only the results are. He is constantly testing his limits and at time exceeds them. I am fine with that as he doesn't often repeat mistakes.
