Burrow has a motor and confidence that I haven't really seen before. He wrecked my Clemson Tigers in the Championship, and I respect him for that because not many people could.

[@doughebert4116]

Pocket awareness and his movement to avoid the bad guys is one of Joe's best attributes. I miss him already Tks JT

[@n3rds3y3vi3w]

i remember seeing this game and burrow for the first time and telling everyone he reminded me of a young peyton manning. one of my rare good calls lol but his pocket presence and accuracy blew me away immediately.

[@doughebert4116]

Tks for the Burrow breakdown JT I've been waiting for this. I love what Joe did this year for my LSU Tigers. I also noticed his footwork " The Shuffle" If it ain't broke don't fix it. Thanks, JT

Yup

[@vl8962]

Great stuff.... Have you considered evaluating yourself? Just going over some pros and cons, things you wish you could do different, any limitations and insights? Thx love the channel ✌

[@kalilg2242]

LSU's Oline wasnt near as good as people think. Joe got rid of the ball with A++ decision making weekly and he also had such unreal pocket presence and feel that he escaped 4+ pressures a week. Best prospect since Peyton Manning.

[@AlphaDwg]

his receivers also don't get enough credit. A lot of Mossing and people running open

[@kalilg2242]

@@AlphaDwg Truth be told he and Tua benefited from as good a supporting cast as you'll ever see while Herbert and Love had a much more difficult path to success as I would call it.

[@carlhenry3201]

@@kalilg2242 But Tua is throwing dimes. There is not a lot of reaching and jumping to catch his throws. Also Burrows shortest receiver is 6"1, he throws a lot of crossing route completion (not a lot of vertical routes) and he is at his best when there are 4 or 5 wideouts on the filed. His deep ball accuracy isn't close to Tua.

[@kalilg2242]

@@carlhenry3201 I actually agree. Shortly after this comment I went back and Looked again and Tua is QB1 all day. Burrow was great but his limitations are real and he has to win the same way a Matt Ryan does or Rich Gannon did as a pro.

[@MrJosh066717]

Gordon’s arm strength is his biggest limitation, otherwise he’s a good project prospect

Kid can play...great insight and quick decision making in the face of pressure. Great break downs.

[@jakesmith1372]

11:00 he could have been anticipating the Rusher to stick his hands up to jump for the ball that’s why he kind of put a little to much air on it

[@patrickreuber5422]

nice one, JT. thank you for these breakdowns.

[@TheQBSchool]

[@tommack352]

Would you consider Joe Burrow's heel-clicking in the same class as how Walter Peyton used to carry the football... If your running backs did it, you would have a "fit," but Walter gets away with it...

[@KindredBrujah]

Really nice! This guy looks phenomenal. Not spinning the ball either, you'll notice.

I'm an LSU fan. And that doesn't affect the fact that your videos are awesome. BTW, Elway is the best QB. It's not even close. Montana? Close, but no cigar.

[@stevefowler2112]

I was not the greatest athlete or physical specimen in H.S. but I had a decent arm (played shortstop thru Pony Ball) my Dad played QB for Army in the late 50's when he was at West Point and taught me a lot about footwork and then he was our H.S. OC when I was there and I started at QB for three years and watched a LOT of 22 tape and learned to read defenses pretty good...and to my eye, Tua has by far the best foot work and best field of vision and is the most adept at moving defensive players with his eyes compared to the other top QB prospects. If I was a GM, and assuming Tua's medicals checkout, he would be my target.

[@FandangoHoward]

Hey JT, love the content! As a Pats fan I'm obviously monitoring the Brady situation closely and as a result I've been watching a lot of film on Jarred Stidham. I personally see more than a few similarities in their game based on Stidham's last season at Auburn and his preseason performance in 2019. Do you think this is a valid comparison? Or am I just being a little too hopeful?

[@12jswilson]

I'm obviously not JT. I evaluated Stidham when he was coming out and I didn't like what I saw as some people were hyping him up as potential first rounder. His accuracy was marginal and he was way too slow to get through his reads with questionable decision making and bad pocket presence. Patriots took him where I thought he should go as I had a 4th-5th round grade on him and he went at the end of round 4. He's more of a Ryan Mallett than a Hoyer or Garappolo amongst the million developmental QBs the Patriots have drafted over the years. Ryan Mallett was just dumb though. If Stidham has the smarts to learn he can definitely be better than Mallett as Mallett can't read a menu much less a defense.

[@jacobball8422]

Hey JT, I'm a Giants fan and like most Giants fans right now we want to believe that Daniel Jones' fumbling problem can be coached away. In you're experience, is that really possible? Or are fumblers just destined to stay that way? I want to see DJ succeed but he lost us a lot of games last year. (Not the only reason we lost) keep up the great work. Love you're videos

when scouting a player wouldn't it be better for them to have crappy mechanics and still do good cause then when you fix those mistakes they'll be even better? Opposed to having some kid who has had a bunch of legit training and is about equal in talent at the college level like tua vs burrow.

He was running a Pro Style offense “saints offense”at LSU no way Burrow will be a bust unless injury or unless Cincy doesn’t give him an OLine..They already have some solid weapons with Mixon Green and Ross so OLine and defense and maybe quit being cheap and get a indoor practice facility and they’ll be 👌

[@michaelemery4586]

KruciaL • I’m just concerned that he was never that impressive before Brady got there, and he doesn’t have overly impressive arm strength

[@krucial8718]

Michael Emery yea the previous year LSU did ok but Joe had to adapt to learn that offense.. The spread LSU went to is what Burrow was more familiar with and that showed drastically but Brady calling the shots definitely deserves credit but even without the strongest arm joe has great poise in the pocket and awareness and is pretty damn accurate so I think he will be solid at the next level my concern is more so the Bengals and it’s crazy that in 2020 a NFL team doesn’t have an indoor practice facility.. they just need to give Joe the pieces and they’ll be a contender in a few years..imo

[@daltonskinner8919]

Michael Emery he threw 63 touchdowns in high school and was the state player of the year, he just needed a chance and his junior year at LSU, the playbook was a ground and pound and he basically doubled his throws and he was in his decision making let it rip system this year

Just wait til his average attributes drop back behind that Cinci O line and face NFL pass rushers and defensive backs. Then we will see how great his footwork looks and how accurate those throws are. The talent around him at LSU was top notch. I believe its foolish to grasp at him #1 overall. To expect him to be the savior for that franchise is wishful thinking at best.

I don't know tho we have to wait and see... I expect him to win rookie of the Year or at least be in that conversation You right tho tua does seem more talented physically in face value I think he can be a good quarter back in the NFL if he doesn't get any major injuries I also really like Justin Herbert and Jordan love because if we're talking about just true talent level Herbert and love destroy tua and burrow imo and if I had to say who'll be a better QB at the pro level I'd put my money on those two rather than tua and burrow... just an opinion🤷‍♂️
