I've watched Burrow quite a bit over the last 3 weeks or so and I'm very impressed. His overall "football awareness" for lack of a better way to put it just seems outstanding. Like they used to say about P. Manning, he sees the game in color while everyone else is in B&W.
Perhaps his arm strength is not Elway or Favre level ? But isn't anticipation, timing more important ?
I want him.
Yea, kind of. That can have a couple meaning one being against Man you are throwing the ball where the break is going to be basically anticipating the break. The other idea is in Zone coverage there are throwing windows and in those cases he is throwing through the window expecting the WR to be there on the other side.
I think he has just had better coaching then a lot of QB's at college get. He is breaking down coverages with his eyes and I think it has made the game look really easy to this point. There will still be some adjusting to the NFL because the athletes on the other side can make more plays and NFL DC's are better at scheming you into bad positions.
His arm strength is fine, I'm not sure it's not that he can't throw the fastball now I more so think he chooses touch over power.
