Faust 5,014 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Quote LSU redshirt senior QB Joe Burrow completed 29-of-39 passes for 493 yards and seven touchdowns in Saturday's 63-28 obliteration of Oklahoma in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Burrow (6'4/216) played one of the most dazzling first halves in the history of the sport of football -- not hyperbole -- throwing for 403 yards and seven touchdowns before the game had even hit intermission. The 2019 Heisman winner connected for three scoring passes in the first quarter before ramping up for four more in Q2. Those seven touchdown passes set a Playoff record and were tied for the most in any bowl, ever. The Tigers led 49-14 at the half. Just absurd. Burrow capped off his beautiful performance with a short rushing touchdown to open the third quarter. He would spend most of the fourth quarter resting on the bench. With the victory, LSU is on to the title game, where they will face off with the winner of the Playoff semi matchup between Clemson and Ohio State (set to kick later on Saturday).

I think Burrow is mentally tough enough to not get ruined by a bad o line but this seems like a brutal situation for the short term. I know things change fast in the NFL, but the Bengals ownership being awful seems pretty fixed. I’m hoping they bring back Dalton for a year and work on the line. Hopkins Signs Extension To Center Bengals Into Offseason https://www.bengals.com/news/hopkins-signs-extension-to-center-bengals-into-offseason The Bengals have a weak o line, but the cupboard isn't totally bare. At least they have a decent center, and possibly two average to good tackles. Jonah Williams, last year's number 1 draft choice hasn't played yet due to injury. I also am hoping they bring Dalton back, gives the Bengals a chance to improve their o line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will depend on the landing spots and how tiers shake out. If I feel like the top tier RBs and WRs are gone by pick ten and Burrow looks great in the preseason, I'll have no problem reaching for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I posted earlier that I wish Cincy didn’t have the 1.1 but I do agree with others that in terms of skill position players it’s a pretty solid situation. If they can rebuild the line then I think he’ll do well. I think of Burrow more from a real life football perspective since I’m an LSU fan so Cincinnati primarily concerns me bc of ownership. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust 5,014 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 LSU redshirt senior QB Joe Burrow completed seven passes of at least 20 yards versus Oklahoma, tying for the second-most in any game over the past two seasons, according to Pro Football Focus. The explosive passing plays were flowing against the Sooners defense. Burrow, already known for being able to generate explosive plays from anywhere, completed a whopping seven throws that earned at least 20 yards. Though Oklahoma's defense isn't spectacular, that is a heck of a feat to complete against any defense. Expect Burrow (6'4/216) to carry over some of that spark into the National Championship against Clemson.

Faust 5,014 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Quote Pro Football Focus credited LSU QB Joe Burrow with 24 touchdown passes thrown into tight windows in 2019. Burrow's 24 tight-window touchdowns were the best mark in the country. The next-best mark? North Carolina's Sam Howell and Wake Forest's Jamie Newman both came in at 14, which is almost half of what Burrow managed to do. While there is some argument Burrow benefited from LSU's stud receivers, the fact that he could thread so many tough throws for touchdowns shows that he helped them as much as they helped him.

The WRs dominated on those throws.
