Burrow has had one of the best seasons in the history of college football that came completely out of nowhere. I think it's important to look at the why...
As a graduate transfer, he's not going to class. All he's doing is taking a few online classes. He's not balancing a student athlete's workload with football like everybody else is doing. All he does is watch film 6 days a week and preparing like a professional, with the close tutelage of an NFL guy in Joe Brady. That is a tremendous advantage that can't be measured. The only person I've ever even heard touch on this was Kirk Herbstreit.
When you project him to the next level, that advantage is no longer going to apply. It gets a lot more even in terms of preparation. It just makes you a little unsure of the upside with Burrow.
I didn't even think about all that. It goes along with Burrow being so much older. Cheers.
