I say you're acting a way after this and it's "all your name calling"???? I will say, and did say you were the more mature of the 2, and perhaps I shouldnt lump you both together as I did but honestly it would have taken 8 moons to reply to both of you over and over. My apologies on that, but you both were indeed the ones saying I didn't know anything which started this whole aggressive bs.
Yeah he had a red shirt, the way you seemed to imply it was that he was a back up sitting get there for 3. Misunderstanding there.
The point about that is he had a whole year at lsu, and did nothing, then a stud oc from the saints came there and everything changed. He has 5 NFL people to throw to, the wr, the tight end (freaking randy moss' son of all people) and that ridiculously under rated hb. I'm not saying he isn't good, but he is a product of what was around him, aND around third of his stats came when most other teams would have been sitting starters. I'm not saying he is good, I'm saying he is getting too much credit. His arm is ok, his touch is good, his awareness is above average, his football iq is hard to determine due to the parts around him, and that killer oc trio setting him up for success. His athleticism is above average for a qb, but I'm not sure if he could be a dual threat in the nfl (I kind of see it like rodgers, which isn't bad). He is going to a team that does have offensive weapons, more so if everything is good with green, so if he is truly great we should be able to see it this year, but if he stumbles are you going to make excuses for it? He should go first given Bengals need a qb. Agreed. He is a great prospect. Agreed. Name me a 1 hot season college qb who has made it in the NFL the player who is considered by most to be the best college qb ever couldn't even make it in the nfl. There is a difference and people are overlooking that are lot of what made burrow so good to the eye is the scheme and ridiculous receiving talent from everyone on the field who is eligible to catch. No other team had that, no other team had a trio of oc's like that, and very few were aloud to be on the field that long in games they are up 4+ scores in. In tuas healthy year, he rarely saw more than a possession in second halves in games like that. He could have had 40 percent more stats put up, but that's not how Saban does things. What I'm saying is you can't go off the stats (tebow proves that), not purely. As I said above, Tua had a 200 in 18, while barely touching second halfs. Burrow had a 200 this year. While injured Tua had a 207 this year. In my opinion if Tua was in that same system, he would hwve put up more. Lsu would pass 20 times in a row at points, whIle being g up 30... Tua had perhaps the best touch ever in college. He has elite arm strength, his td to pick ratio shows he makes smart choices, he was athletic, but was smart about when to run. He was as good as you can get at throwing on the run. Had the best long ball maybe ever in college. Etc... he was better than burrow, and likely never will be again, but until the combine, we won't have a clue how any of these players can really be. You don't think Tua had any of those things on burrow level, which is strange to me, but cool. We disagree. I hope he is a great nfl qb.
