I don’t get the burrow or Bust thing?

Burrow has also proven that he can just as easily be a practice squad at best player.... idk why so many people are so quick to forget his 2018 season when not everything was perfect for him.


Here is what your favorite site The Draft Network says about him. This is the player he developed into from 2018 to 2019.

Quote:Arm Accuracy - He feathers throws into tight spaces from the pocket and while on the move with regularity. Rarely misses his preferred window and excels in tight window spaces. No issues when his process speeds up, either — accurate on quick RPOs throwing slants into traffic or deeper patterns alike. One of his best skills.
Decision Making - Elite. Nine times out of ten he's got defenses diagnosed and knows where to quickly move to get the ball out to disperse to soft spaces. Cool as the other side of the pillow under pressure, natural play maker who shows extended play ability but also wins at a rare rate within structure thanks to play diagnosis.
Progressions - Full field is at his disposal and the pace of his reads is pretty startling, which makes it highly difficult to back door him or overwhelm him with pressure. Appreciate his eye movement to move pieces on the board and create vacancies and he'll work back to targets he knows could further uncover when forced to hold ball.
Anticipation - Off the charts feel for the game. Love how well he diagnoses and anticipates pressure reps and understands where to find his hot throws — makes so many simple plays by knowing when his protection is outgunned that other college QBs get trapped with. Spot throws and accuracy are money, high end spot thrower.
Poise - Joe Cool. Love his sense of extending plays within the pocket — he'll slide and set up rushers like a back does pressing the LOS on his pass drops or within the pocket. Makes some circus plays to backhand or shovel the ball out — any means necessary. Hardly ever puts the ball at risk with decision making or looking to create a play.
Arm Strength - Does he have a cannon? No. He meets requisite arm strength but if he's not able to stride and torque throws, his far sideline throws can take a while to hit home. He's got plenty of velocity when set up on his platform — issues mainly show up when he's off script and sees opportunity to gouge for big plays in tight space.
Pocket Awareness - Unbelievable feel of sliding within the pocket. He'll temper and adjust drops and landmarks based on feeling collapsing pocket. Has a pair of eyes in the back of his head to step up and climb ladder versus outside pressure. Doesn't often take sacks but is constantly in a state of protecting the football as a passer with 2 hands.
Mechanics - His rotational torque is strong, he's a lower half thrower that finds his juice through his delivery — hence the velocity issues when he's not set or on the move. Quick release compliments football IQ, allowing him to bait and pull defenders or blitzers out of his desired throwing windows.
Footwork - Strong. Balanced passer while upright on his platform. He's got free swinging trail leg to make sure hips come through his delivery/ follow-through. Does well to reset his feet working through progressions for accurate throws. Will work himself down hill once flushed from the pocket to ensure he's got momentum into throws.
Run Ability - Well deserving of the tag "sneaky athletic". Has hit QB draw and found the corner against free running blitzers after breaking contain with his late slide in the pocket. Isn't an elite athlete, but he's smooth in short spaces and has enough burst to surprise and claim a first down against man coverage.

Best Trait - Football IQ
Worst Trait - Arm Strength
Best Film - Oklahoma (2019)
Worst Film -UCF (2018)
Red Flags - None
Player Summary - With elite football intelligence, Joe Burrow solves nearly every riddle a defense can pose to him before the snap. A refined pocket passer with an innate sense of the pocket, Burrow will defeat pressure with his legs and arm alike — he projects best into a modern spread offense, where he can diagnose soft spaces in the defense and read the full field of play to disperse the ball. With intangibles through the roof, Burrow is a face of the franchise prospect and plug and play starter.
