Joe Burrow might end up being pretty legit, but he’s currently sitting with 2 wins and an inability to feel pass rush. He was virtually never under pressure at LSU and appears completely clueless as to how not to get consistently bodied by defenders. Honestly so far this year Burrow’s inability to protect himself in the pocket should be a factor in long term health and worries me as much or more than anything Lamar has shown in his career. The stats are pretty overwhelming that being hit in the pocket is more dangerous for a QB than being hit while running, and Burrow seems to take 1 hit a game bigger than any I’ve seen Lamar take in his entire career. QBs taking bad hits constantly, it’s just a numbers game of when they finally get injured. Not saying the particular hit that injured him was his fault, but Burrow has been a dead man walking for weeks just based on sheer probability for all the bad hits he is exposed to, sadly. I hate to see injuries and hope he can come back strong. Edited November 23, 2020 by ThatJaxxenGuy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This take is so objectively wrong it’s not even funny. Any respected draft analysis worth their salt praised Burrow’s pocket awareness, and ability to feel pressure and evade the rush. He has an intrinsic six-sense few pros have. It’s literally one of his best traits as a player. Out of all of Burrow’s criticisms, this ain’t it. You can really tell who actually watches Burrow play, and who goes by worthless narratives substantiated by absolutely nothing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he did I wouldn't trust him to be objective, the guy is infatuated with Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Allen played behind awful o-lines his first two seasons and was able to protect himself. I saw Aaron Rodgers dominate for years behind a bad o-line. Great QBs find ways to protect themselves and make plays even with bad o-lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't see it translate thus far in the NFL. I think that point was solid. Edited November 23, 2020 by VanS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been playing as if he is a good athlete, which he was in college, rather than the subpar athlete he is in the NFL. It's easy to have good pocket presence at LSU with a beast O-Line and dominant skill position players that discourage blitzing. His lack of awareness of his athleticism relative to NFL defenders athleticism has been obvious for a while now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
