Joe Burrow is a scary dude! I hate that he is going to be playing for the fucking Bengals! But leave it to them to destroy this dude's chances at greatness. Thank God a team like NE doesn't get him.

Maybe they will be stupid enough to pass on him lol.

i mean he's clearly doing great - and mechanically he's pretty excellent - will be interested to see how he holds up on tape - especially the 2018 tape and how he's changed - dealing with poor protection or difficult situations - what can he do to defenders - how he reads the field etc.

but it would be wild as it stands for him not to be the #1 pick

Today's game also showcased why the CFP shouldn't be expanded to 6 or 8 teams.

Jerry Jones ready to offer Ed Orgeron a 10 year contract and Riley is hoping Jerry doesn't pull his offer.

Clemson made me do that long time ago.

that targeting call has legitimately flipped the momentum of this game on its head - it turned a stop into 7 points (the ejected player's replacement got thrown at for the DPI that set up the td) and then with that momentum a 3 and out has now turned into another 7 on a long play

ridiculous that a ref's call can change a whole game like that

even if you're going to throw a 15 yard penalty on a play like that - why is that kid now being ejected because the qb braced for impact - you can penalise that stuff all you like in terms of teaching better tackle technique etc. but there is a difference between hitting a defenceless receiver in the head with a shoulder or helmet etc. and incidental contact to the head when wrapping in a tackle on a qb in the pocket when the qb braces for the hit...

the 2 situations are not equal yet both result in ejections and 15 yards and a 1st down...

The most absurd thing about it is that they watch the replay and still make a horrible call.
