It's time to talk about... Joe Burrow

After our first few games I was already looking at the top rated QB's not named Herbert or Tua - early on I identified Joe Borrow as my sleeper candidate for our next QB...

Even then, before I really knew much about him, what stood out was his poise under pressure, his pocket presence, his ability to win games, his completion %, elusiveness, smarts and intelligence, desire and character, plays in the SEC, had to fight for a job, plays from under center in college, excellent in play action as a result, excellent timing on his throws... in other words - the most important traits our dink/dunk QB is missing...

And please don't go into how the west coast offense in dink/dunk by nature. Look no further than Patrick Mahomes and even better comp would be Joe Montana... a HOF QB never known for his arm strength but he was off the charts on everything else.

Lately - Derek Carr the game manager is fine, but it WILL catch up to us one day, Derek has problems playing on the big stage going back to college... and Joe is money in the scramble drill.

Check this stat for Joe Burrow, some of you older readers will remember the days we went for broke on first down.... this is Joe's passing stat's on first down - 85/102 1450 yards and 14 Of 25 of his TDs.

Personally, I'd do whatever it takes to get Joe Burrow and let him sit a year behind Carr, and I cant wait to see him in the natty vs Bama or OU. These are Burrow's junior highlights where he took LSU to 10-3, look like the embodiment of pride and poise to me...
