I know it's depressing, but lets talk about draft eligible QBs

Heck man the only reason I tuned in was because u had been absolutely sh*tting on the guy all night long and then when you said:

"Down 14 after his INT leads to an ASU TD, he's getting the ball back with about 12:30 remaining. Let's see what he truly has..."

...I thought "let's do see what he has".....

.....and then they went down another 3 to be in a 24-7 hole.....

..... then they put up 21 points in the last 9 minutes of the 4th quarter and if not for a completely blown call/coverage by the D-coordinator on 3rd down thereby giving up a 75yd bomb for a TD the Ducks and Hester win the damn game!

In all seriousness, relax man.....it's a college game. 

Clearly you don't like the QB and he didn't have his greatest game ever from start to finish and at the 12.43 mark in Q4 you called him out, and then he threw an INT that lead to another 3pts --- and they still had a chance to win the game!

Sh*t on him all you like but the guy is clearly a gamer and there's no quit in that dog.

PS....I'm in no way invested in this guy and could care less about what happens with him, but if you think this one game is going to decide his fate in the NFL draft you are kidding yourself.

That said, am kinda curious why you dislike him so much?

Every post you make in this thread shows you didn't actually watch the game so why are you posting about it?

I don't dislike the kid, I just don't think he's a franchise NFL QB.

Absolutely watched it.  Didn't watch every single play searching for the tiniest reasons to sh*t on some kid who has no chance of being drafted by our team, but I did watch it.

Are you worried someone is going to trick Tepper into drafting the kid?

The only question I have about Burrow is that he's a one year wonder. The guy looks DAMN GOOD this year though.

He's not really a one year wonder though.  He had a decent year last year after transferring a bit late (didn't get the full off-season development).  They didn't have Joe Brady last year either.  Burrow was schemed to be a game manager, which he did well.

Schemed game managers aren't Heisman candidates and generally aren't NFL prospects. Burrow exploded this year. That's what I mean by "one year wonder".

Is that a sign that he's a bad quarterback or is it just a bad game?

I was questioning Herbert long before this game. On my first post in this thread, I asked why it seemed like Oregon made an effort to take the ball out of his hands in crunch time in competitive games. Well, now we know. Even last night, the majority of his 4th quarter yardage came via screen passes.

    • Meh I get the intent but signing the OGs at the highest price and coming out with a historically bad D isn't something other teams should do. The Bears took a better route. Older guys but cheaper. Only negative I got there is that they still need to take an OG this year but that 4th is 2026 so it really should be hard for them to make a solid swing before it's a gapping hole again.
    • The coach of the Chicago Bears just referenced the turnaround of the Panthers once they invested in guards.  He then has just signed 2 high profile guards.  How is that not copying the Panthers?  I agree that there is not a lot to copy here, but step back.  We lost Darnold before investing in the OL.  We lost Baker before investing in the OL.  We drafted Bryce before successfully investing in the OL.  We invest in 2 guards.  After a slow start, Bryce ends the season 4-5 and is very close to both Philly and New England.  Later, the new coach of the Bears references the Panthers and how they turned it around after signing high profile guards.  A week or two later, they announce they signed 2 high profile guards.  I think all GMs paid attention to what has happened here.  It may not be the sole basis for their decision, but the defense cost us 2024, not the offense.  In addition, we did it without our #1 WR, a top TE, and the cupboards were pretty bare at WR.  I think they noticed.  As you say, Frank, we shall see.
    • I was about to say he put up a damn near 40 inch vertical and a 10'3 broad jump, even if he only runs in the 4.6 range the guy belongs in the NFL, not sure he will ever be an elite back but he definitely can contribute
