Pretty crazy how excited I am to see this guy in stripes.
Really think this is the player that can take us to the promised land.
Went to LSU late and was beating players in condition drills in the heat of Louisiana.
Great point about how Russell Wilson went to Wisconsin late and was the only QB Feldman could think of that did
that and just reigned in a team. The difference with Burrow is like he said, the egos he had to deal with at LSU.
My ONLY concern is his arm strength. I think it's good enough, I hope it's good enough.
That being said, I stopped watching 2019 and started watching his 2018 games. It seems like he threw a little harder last year - which makes me think he can bring it up a notch when he needs to

Exactly. He had the greatest year ever, but he didn't "just do it for one year."
I'm excited that Zac has essentially already given Burrow his homework. Using the time on the phone and on Zoom to walk him through the playbook. You think he didn't give Joe permission or tell him to be sure to record those sessions? Child please.

That's the battle cry for the he can't possibly be this good narrative.

His arm strength is not a concern. As long as Burrow’s is average (it is) it’s not an issue.
Brady and Peyton Manning did just fine without having a cannon.
