***Official Joe Burrow / NCG Thread***

[Bengalholic]

Joe Burrow will be on center stage tonight, with the eyes of Bengals nation watching intently.

If you're already on board with him being drafted by the Bengals. what are you hoping to see from him tonight?

If you don't like the idea of Burrow as the Bengals 1OA, what could you see in this game that might change your mind?

To get this kicked off, here a a few videos that I thought were good watches...

Good thread, Holic. I’m looking forward to this game more than any the Bengals have played in 4 years...

Just feels good to be excited for a change.

Same way man, ive watched every Bengals game for the last 15 years but the last couple years I feel like I have been mentally checked out.

New coaches last year and the top QB prospect this year have me hopeful, an active free agency would really top it all off but I know thats not likely.

Lets hope for a great game without an injury for Burrow.

Friend sent me that this morning lol.

[*ochocincos*]

I'm already sold on him.

What I want to see to remove the doubt in others' minds:
- NO INJURY!!!!
- 65% completion percentage
- 300+ passing yards
- More TDs than turnovers
- Ideally winning but especially not losing because of him

[CJD]

I am so stoked for this game.

What I'm looking for from this game:
Joe Burrow throwing 4 TDs to break the NCAA single season TD record.
Joe Burrow throwing for 625 yards to break the NCAA single season yards record (won't happen. Still want it to though.)
Throw for better than 25/39 (64.1%) to break the NCAA single season accuracy record

If he makes more crazy plays while doing those three (but really, just the 1st and 3rd ones), then that's just gravy.

I'm just looking for a good game that justifies the notion that he should be drafted.

Even if he shits the bed, I'm not worried, but not expecting him to; just expecting that whatever happens, happens.

I'm already 100% sold on Burrow so just more doing what he's been doing.

He doesn't like skyline chili. Hopefully he likes Montgomery ribs or Graeter's.

He's an Ohio boy. I'm sure he will be just fine with Cincinnati food.

He better his head straight real quick now.  And goetta too.  

[Big Boss]

Just get in and get out without an injury. Couldn't care less about the win.

[Yojimbo]

I want to see that he stayed focused on the game and is prepared, not overweight and lost on the field because he spent too much time at the buffet on the awards circuit.

[XenoMorph]

from a fans perspective... . Will proformance in this game have any affect on your decision that JB is #1?

[Bengalholic]

In another Swinney interview I saw, he said Burrow was "like a more athletic Tom Brady."

Legit; what is so special about Graeters and what makes it different from other ice creams?

I've never had it, so I'm genuinely curious.
