Joe Burrow has nothing to do with all the failed QB’s since Bert Jones at LSU.  Mac Jones is several levels above A.J. McCarron.  He will be a fine starting QB in the NFL.

Based on?

He had 1 year of success, in a weird Covid like environment that makes it really difficult to evaluate anything, and all the while he was surrounded by the most talented team from top to bottom in college footballl.


Najee Harris averaged nearly 6 yards a carry.

Devonta Smith was uncoverable.

Jaylen Waddle - yes he missed some games due to injury but what other college QB can you think of that had the luxury of two 1st round picks at WR to toss to? Burrow had 2 guys like that that were spread across two drafts, not two guys who may both be top 10 picks in the same draft.

 John Metchie III - All he did was fill in for Smith and end up with over 900 yards....

There is what, 3 or 4 Alabama linemen expected to be taken in the top 3 rounds of the draft?

Meanwhile... Jones shows up for one season, he has one actual season of QB play and people think he is worth a first rounder??

Burrow atleast had two full seasons of play, but Jones with one season is worthy of a 1st? That is the take you should actually hate.

He has a better chance of being McCarron then being successful.

1 season, with perfect protection, and weapon after weapon that was wide open and this makes a good NFL QB??

I hope the steelers believe the hype and draft him. Be nice to see them struggle at QB for awhile.

If he was really so amazing and impressive, he would have unseated Tua who has shown that he isn't exactly all he was supposed to be at the NFL level.
