mse326 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I agree why waste a 1st on Burrow when you can trade a 5th round pick for Josh Dobbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 He's a first rounder because I looked into his eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieMonstah Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Yeah Burrows isn’t a great pro prospect I feel like. He floats everything over 15 yards, very little zip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trubisky did only have one great year, Burrows is not like that. He was very solid last year and would have been a mid to late round pick if he did not improve at all this season. But this year he is clearly awesome completing almost 80% of his passes and will win the Heisman and has beaten multiple top 10 ranked teams this year. So Burrows has had more that one great year unlike Trubisky. Burrows has at least two seasons of being a full time starting, Trubisky only had one obviously. What about Kyler Murray? He only had one great year in college, is nothing amazing on Arizona but is not awful either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Kyler Murray has been extremely impressive this year behind a horrific OL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Saw some tweets yesterday that underscored how special Burrow has been this year. His completion on throws 10+ yards downfield is over 70% to lead the NCAA. He's not just dinking and dunking balls, he's pushing it downfield and still completing passes at an elite rate. Tua this year before the injury was at 57% 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I think the end of the world is upon us...I actually agree with Vans on this one. I get players can always improve, but to show up out of nowhere like this to me is a red flag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was certainly more well known than Cam Newton who wasn't even in the game program for Auburn at the start of his Heisman year. I'm not saying it isn't a red flag...but if you don't like Burrow...you must have hated Cam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyBacall Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 What pro do we compare Burrow to? From what I've seen he most closely resembles Tony Romo. Smart, crafty, maneuverability in the pocket, good enough arm, can operate off script, phenomenal ball placement and great accuracy. Oddly enough, they could of both played basketball at a high level. It's interesting how that translates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last part is what is so rare. This isn't the ACC cream puff schedule. Auburn, Florida & 'Bama were all touted pre-game as legit D's. To top it off, he's going to face Georgia, and one of Clemson / OSU in the playoffs. I mean, that's a gauntlet of epic proportions. And again - he's doing it in a pro-style system. So this isn't Jalen Hurts in OKL being projected to then have to go to a NFL system, in a bad pass D conference. This is Burrow in a cream-of-the-crop D schedule, succeeding with the reads / throws you need to make in the NFL to succeed. P.S. As someone who wasn't sure if he could avoid big hits with NFL speed catching up to him on D, Kyler's been fantastic as a rookie. Ppl have unrealistic expectations on how 1st & 2nd year QB's on bad teams should be playing performance-wise. If I was a Cards fan, I'd be ecstatic at what I'm seeing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
