Matt Flynn, Tim Tebow, Greg McElroy, A.J. McCarron, Jameis Winston, J.T. Barrett, etc etc
Any coach that thinks he can win just by having a QB who will say "Losing is not an noption" is a total loser. I wonder why losing was an option for Burrow in 2018 but not 2019?
Are you mad because Zac wasnt giggling throughout his interview?

No. He's just trolling. That's his newest persona. Fred is not handling cabin fever well at all. He could use a really fat doobie. Or ten.

Did he say that the most important thing was to win a National Championship? Let me know the last stud QB in the NFL that had a losing record in college and didn't find a way to elevate the team to a winning record despite the talent around him.

Perhaps we can start a board fund raiser to get Fred a ticket out to Arizona St. or wherever ML is ? To see him and spend a few days, tell Marvin how he's the G.O.A.T. of HC's and if they'd only have given him more time.

The camera is going to be on Burrow during a loss and he's either going to be showing too much or too little emotion and people are going to get upset. That's just the way it is.
So does Brady....same types of personalities, holding everyone accountable. I can't wait for Burrow to go at it with one of his WR's for running the wrong route!!

Pratt improved immensely from the beginning of the year too. MJ as well.
Wren was middling, but had less than 15% of the snaps or whatever.
Too early to call on everyone, save for Finley.
I believe Jonah Williams will struggle against the big tough Ds in our division.I think he will be replaced at some time in the season.

Oy the media would have a field day with Burrow blowing a gasket at Ross.

Well... I'm sure they had a winning record, but Tom Brady kept getting benched for a baseball player at Michigan. In fairness that baseball player played in the NFL for a hot second too.
Also... I didn't look at the post you were responding to. I just wanted to take up that challenge. That was the best I could do.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

That’s just who Andy is. You can see it in his speeches. He’s the “let’s just go have fun” type of of player. Burrow wants to “steal the other team’s souls” lol
I dunno... I've seen a smile or a laugh at a funeral. I think that stuff can be forgiven. Maybe somebody cracked a mood lightening joke about how at least there isn't time left for him to throw a 4th interception.
Jim Valvano said that it's important to laugh, be moved to tears, and think each and every day. He said that as he was dying from cancer.

Just a word of warning, when you speak of things like this, things will get ugly as they did for me. Posters will come after you and tell you you know nothing of what you are talking about. These things don't happen in the NFL. There's a pecking order. Rookie QB's must come in with their eyes on the ground and not look upon veterans until told it's OK. Rookie QB's must carry vets helmets and win Superbowls before being allowed to speak in public. Only after winning for years and maybe a SB or 2 will the QB be allowed to show public distain for lazy linemen or wrong route running WR's.
Beware, they are lighting their torches and gathering their pitchforks. Close the curtains...

Gotcha.
And I get called a troll for pointing out that our head coach thinks Patrick Mahomes sucked as a QB because he had a losing record as a starter at Texas Tech.
But I am sure everything will be fine since Burrows decided (sometime after 2018) that losing was no longer an option. That is the most important thing about being a good QB.

No one will say silly things like this, but it is true that a rookie can't come in and start jumping vets until he proves he deserves respect.
Coaches should coach and players should play. When players start trying to coach all you have is a bunch of players constatly yelling at each other.
How well do any of you respond to a co-worker at your same level trying to boss you around?
How much did Baker Mayfield help the Browns by criticizing teammates?

Burrow didn’t have a losing season in 2018.
