re: Here we go. First college football player dies from COVID
Posted by wigmon on 9/8/20 at 8:16 pm to deathvalleytiger10
Jordan McNair was a much better athlete and passed out and eventually died from "too much running". He came to camp out of shape and couldn't complete the first running drill of the day. Granted, their medical staff didn't handle it properly, but the point is that even top D1 football players aren't always in good health.
Not trying to disparage the young man since his death is a sad event, but from photos, he didnt look like he was in very good shape to begin with and I'm guessing sitting around not doing anything athletic probably was the worst thing for him. I don't know his overall health condition, but I am guessing his BMI was in the obese range, pushing extremely obese given in season photos.

Burrow will be as good as the offensive line allows him to be. It all starts with the OL.

Also, I really hope he has the awareness to recognize corner and safety blitzes. But damn, if he can quickly recognize blitzes in sync with our WRs, the offense should be fun to watch.
These are 2 points that obviously will play into how effective/efficient any QB will be. If the line is awful, a QB has no chance. IF a line is decent, but the QB is bad, then the offense has no chance. IF the line is decent and the QB is really good at reading what the defense is doing, then chances are good for success.
On the second point, this could be something that takes a little time. The QB has to trust that he and the receiver see the same thing and anticipate the same check down. IS the chemistry going to be there between a QB and receivers when the QB has had limited time with them?
Obviously there a lot more variables to a successful offense than just whether the QB has the tools/IQ to play the position. It takes a team effort.

AFter posting this and making the Breeze comparison, the one area he is not as good as Breeze at is throwing on the run. He has good mobility, but Breeze is a very good thrower on the run and I don't think Joe possesses that asset.
osu fan here and been a fan of joes since his junior year of hs. his 2 weakest assets are inexperience and arm strength. His arm strength isn't bad by any means and think he's probably in the top 25% for power 5 qb's. and, while he doesn't have much game experience, he has been going against a lot of osu's first team defense the past 3 years, so he's seen plenty of good defenses. just don't know exactly how long it may take to adjust to being under the spotlight.
he is very cerebral, makes quick and generally safe decisions. He is a very accurate passer and will throw guys open. I can't give any lsu qb comparisons as I haven't followed you guys that closely, but saw drew breeze a fair amount in college and really think he's comparable to him. I know that is a quite a lofty comparison, but he has that kind of ability. just need to see if he can do it on the big stage. really looking forward to the Miami matchup and wish you guys the best this year.
