Great video but i think skipping over the Texas A&M game was wrong. His last collegiate loss to a team and the revenge he got plus the interviews before the game showed how much of a dog he was. If you look at media day before his senior season started he told a reporter that lsu was gonna to score 35+ a game and they all laughed at him
Nice video man.. I played high school baseball for 4 years, and only played football in my freshman year when everyone made the team. I like football better, I just wasn't as good because I played baseball since tee-ball and never played pee-wee football so my only experience was 3rd string freshman and that was it. Anyhow, I played 12 seasons of flag football... The first 6 seasons I played for a team which only won a single game in 6 seasons. We were 0-7/0-7/0-7/0-7/0-7/1-6 .. We had beer when we won and it was a big deal. My team had dropped me because I had neglected to show up for games twice without calling and letting them know in our 1-6 season (was there for win though). The best team picked me up in the final 6 seasons. We had 3 seasons a year and then had to stop during pandemic. There were 6 teams so 6 games then a final game for final rankings. We were last place every year. I played for the best team for my last 6 seasons when ended in March 2020. We were 7-0/7-0/7-0/7-0/7-0/7-0/7-0 even after losing our ringer WR for the last 3 seasons because of torn ACL. My worst injury was a dislocated finger on a hard pass (our QB was pretty good). The way we played was the opposing team had one rusher, but some teams would throw two rushers. No blockers so I could hike the ball then run a short "bailout" route if the other receivers weren't open. We also had a running back who would run a short route or take a lateral. It was a 7 on 7 game and we usually had about 12-14 players on a team. The point to all of this is that EVERY season I looked forward to playing. I would count the days until we played again and actually worked on getting better. The teams were all through my job. I worked for VSP, and we had a LOT of employees. We also had teams made from eyeconic (eyeconic.com) who was a company under us and vision works. We have plenty of people wanting to play and had a wait list. We were about to add another two teams before the pandemic hit. The point though is that I think Burrow is like me. I see people in the NFL who don't like playing. Who get pissed off at the game when they lose. Who retire or ask for trades. Who pretty much hate the GAME they play where they make millions. If every NFL player were like me the league would be much more fun to watch because you would have people playing who love the game. I think Joe Burrow sits on his couch with training camp circled on his calendar every year. Football is more of a game to myself and Burrow.... It's a way of life. Sadly I got laid off so I cannot play in the league anymore and I think they haven't been able to start a new one up because a lot of people left the company and were laid off during pandemic :(
And you're going to root for that team getting done to them what votto did to the reds for years. Taking the majority of the payroll. 😉 They better get a SB soon or it was all wasted. He needs a defense to win a Superbowl and that other run was as best of a defense he'll probably get. Don't believe me I'll assume but how naive bungles fans are. They single handedly led the to the SB that year. Just go look. 😉 FYI I'm. A bungles fan also just a fucking realist. And just wait what'll happen to the reds also with Cruz. 😂 They better trade him while they got a chance.
The greatest single season QB performance of all-time Smoken Joe. I think the greatest 4 year QB would go to Flordia QB Danny Wuerffel. This is just my opinion.
Joe Burrow’s 2019 season was the single greatest season by a QB in CFB history. He way not be the all time greatest QB in CFB, but he had the single greatest season
@@postverifiedlifestyle I would LOVE to see you back up that statement. "Not even close..." seriously? You have it the wrong way around. Joe Burrow had the absolute best season for a QB EVER and I have yet to see one member of the media, or anyone else in the industry dispute that. The only argument is whether or not 2019 LSU was the best TEAM ever, which is certainly up for debate.
Preach. 2019 LSU played 7 of their 15 games against ranked opponents…and ALL 7 were ranked in the top 10 when they played. No other undefeated national champion of any era has played that % of their schedule against top 10 teams.
EXACTLY. When I see people being up the best college football team and say LSU isn’t #1. Their argument is always “well look at how many HOFer’s 2001 Miami had”. But no one mentions what actually matters, how dominant the team was and their stats. If you were an LSU fan in 2019, you already knew you were going to win. It didn’t matter who they were playing, you knew LSU was going to somehow pull it off. LSU might not have had a team full of all time greats but they had chemistry like no other team in history and made it work
I say LSU 2019 is number 1 but a strong contender who had the greatest scoring offense of all time prior to Burrow was 2013 FSU. That team is extremely underrated and destroyed everyone just like LSU, but the difference was that their defense was just as good. Going into Death Valley and annihilating them like they did was… insane. Think they won by like 40
Greatest of All time sir. No disrespect to your dawgs the last 2 years of even the bammers before you. I think the 2019 team destroys Nebraska and Miami teams as well
@@Meauxfeaux4972 I think Ohio State could’ve beaten LSU that year if they weren’t robbed against Clemson in the semifinal. They were on course to absolutely clap Clemson’s cheeks until that bs targeting call. If the refs didn’t interfere, I think they end up winning that game by 40-50+ points. I don’t know if we’d have definitely beat LSU.. but I think we would’ve given them the best run for their money. We’d have definitely made a more dream matchup with them than Clemson did.. Burrow and LSU against his old school Ohio State and the new kid Fields.. idk if you could intentionally script a better championship game matchup than that when it comes to drama.
@@brendonbuffaloe8830 Idk, we had a damn good defense that year and our offense was really good too. Probably the best or top 2-3 most rounded teams Ohio State has ever fielded.
He was a coach's dream. Prototype at 6'4" and 220. A gun for an arm. Already a graduate and just took one course online so he could study football all day. 23 years old. Tough as nails. His dad was a coach and Joe had football intelligence. He had the desire which some talented people just don't have. It was all there. Geaux Tigers!
Joe Burrow had never taken a snap under center until he came to Lsu in 2018 and didnt complain about it once. 2018 Joe Burrow was "full back" Joe Burrow and stood tall in that pocket and never slid. We switched it up for him in 2019 and won the natty, then he tore his acl in 2020 on the bengals and changed his mindset, but he never whined about it. true leader
@@darthsilversith667 no im talking about under center vs shotgun. he came up in pure shotgun offenses til he got to lsu. I never played QB but its hard to play in a system with dropbacks, you gotta get the ball out quick cuz the pass rush is on you quicker. It's major learning curve but it prolly helped him in the NFL cuz almost every team makes you do 3 step drop quick slant a few times a game. Lsu stopped running those plays in 2019 though and Joe Burrow flourished cuz we had crazy receivers and a good playcaller in Ensminger and Joe Brady. I respect Ed Orgeron for how he basically overhauled the offense every year his first 3 years. In 2017 they ran that Jet Sweep Matt Canada offense.
@@darthsilversith667 big up yaself go watch brett favre or young peyton and see how many throws he makes off a dropback. its a different type of football
@@voiceofreason2674Funny thing about it, it was Steve Ensminger who recruited Joe Burrow to come to LSU. After the Peach Bowl, Ensminger talked to Burrow about bringing in Brady, and asked got Burrow’s input into how he thinks the offense should be ran. Another person that doesn’t get enough credit as well is Jorge Munoz who also worked alongside Joe Brady and Steve Ensminger as an offensive analyst for LSU that season. That offense was tailored specifically to embrace every person’s strong-suit on the field, and it worked out for everybody.
Got to meet him (grew up in the same part of Ohio as him) before he was famous. Pretty normal and chill guy. Won the Gatorade Player of the year award or somethin. Now I work at the Bengals stadium and I bumped into him one time with the rest of my crew while he was warming up last year and he remembered me.
I’m an Alabama fan and I remember in 2018 we dominated him and shut LSU out and he looked lost but I remember seeing him later in the year and in the bowl game and it was like a light had gone on in his head, by 2019 he was a different quarterback. Absolutely unstoppable and have a ton respect for him.
Burrow was taking snaps under center in 2018 when the Tide played him something he had never done his entire football career. Probably why he seemed lost but he never complained...
I think the light came on because he finally got comfortable running the offense. Hell it was his first time starting since high school so that also had something to do with it. Hard task to try and carve up a team that’s one of, if not the, most talented in CFB with those working against him.
@@clark2501 Yeah, if I remember correctly Quinnen Williams just wrecked LSU’s offense almost singlehanded that night. He’s now an all pro d-lineman with the Jets so it’s not like Burrow was facing weaklings.
Even more wild is that stacked LSU roster played against an Alabama team who had a 1st round QB, 4 first round WRs, 2 first round RBs and between the 2 teams countless other future NFL guys. That game was probably the most talent filled college football game of all time
How about this. Ole Miss in 2018 had Dawson Knox (future pro bowl tight end) and AJ Brown and DK Metcalf (both future All-Pro wideouts) and managed to only go 5-7 (1-7 in the SEC).
Mad respect for Burrow from a Bama alum. Love him in Cincinatti as well. Just an all around good guy and hard working teammate. Love to see it. Superbowl soon 🤞
I am 77, an LSU fan since I was a little kid. My Dad and hooped and hollered for Billy Cannon's great Halloween run, but the year Burrow and the team had in 2019 was magical. It will long be a legend and deservedly so. Thank you coach "O" for putting those pieces together. I know things went south the next year but I will always be grateful to coach "O" for putting that team together. Go Tigers! Go Joe Burrow, a cool cat who knew how to get it done.
I’m a Tiger fan from way back. I grew up down the street from Tiger Stadium. I’ve never seen a season like 2019 and I am honored to have been able to watch that season with my family. It was some of the best times we’ve ever had with all of us still here. As a way to show our appreciation, I made a custom wooden name plaque for Joe that says Burreaux and wrote him a letter from all us fans just what the season meant to us. I know it’s just a game but sometimes it’s more than just a game. I was told through my connection that he got it. He is a wonderful person and I’ll forever be a Burrow fan.
I live in Looziana and it was an honor and a pleasure to watch that 2019 LSU team play. And after just the first few games, I had the presence of mind to realize that I was watching history in the making. We in Looziana are forever grateful for each and every factor that played a part in leading Joe Burrow to LSU. I still love watching him play for the Bengals in the NFL. It seems that so many folks don't truly understand him. When people try to compare him to other QBs, they are trying to compare apples and oranges...and it never turns out showing Joe in all his graciousness, guts, grit, and glory.
This video was just instance after instance of "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE" and I love it. Phenomenally presented. I love how you contextualize everything, not just looking at the stats, but how difficult it should have been to put up stats like that in a stacked SEC division.
I remember the absolute celebration my family and I had when LSU beat Alabama in 2019, and that’s not even counting the national championship, and being before Covid 19, 2019 was definitely a year to remember because of how much of an LSU fan I am
The UCF vs LSU game is the first game I ever watched Burrows and despite being a huge Tide fan I was instantly a fan and cheered for LSU that whole miracle 2019 season
Colt Brennan wasn’t just in the WAC. He was in the run-and-shoot offense, which if there is one offense more sling it around than the Air Raid, it’s this one.
I remember taking a band trip to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl my senior year and not knowing who Joe Burrow was. But after watching him play catch with Jefferson for three quarters, I never forgot his name
Only 2010 Cam Newton was even more incredible by doing the same thing with less total offensive talent at skill positions. That cones from Alabama fan. At a distant 3rd with most impressive seasons would be Bryce Young last season which includes a couple of losses and on paper more talent but in reality at receiver especially not. Back to the point, Joe and Cam could have been switched with qbs on any team playing them close and the results would be different. Those 2 both were so important to their teams' success that it baffles me as to how they were transfers from schools with whom they had signed. Leads me to believe that WRs and DBs get to help paint the picture toward their preferred teammate.
Amazing season to watch for sure. Memories that will last a lifetime!!!! Thank you Joe Burreaux for showing us what hard work and dedication can do if one believes in himself and their teammates and thank you Joe Brady for giving him the offense to put on a show each week. It really was amazing to watch!!!
What's crazy to me is that I got to witness Joe Burrow's last College loss in the 7 OT game in College Station. Absolutely crazy the tear he went on after that game.
Watched many of the games showcased here live. Been watch football for over 40 years, each game he continued to impress, I still wasn’t sure if what I was witnessing was real. During the playoff games he was holding a scalpel disguised as a football. Brilliance I had never seen at that position in the college game, LSU could have worn 49ers uniforms(Walsh/Montana era)and I wouldn’t have questioned it.
I was the biggest lsu bandwagon fan during the National championship I’m a South Carolina fan so to see Clemson lose was very very sweet and see lsu win as they should have they were on a different level
Burrow is a hoss. Love the guy, and I'm a Mahomie to the core. I love the competition the AFC has right now with easily 3 of the top 4 QBs in the game.
As a South Carolina fan who’s happy with where we’re going now with Beamer I think this was by the best College Football season of all time (as a whole)
I've been pounding the drum that this pick 6 vs UCF literally ignited Joe Burrow's career. Especially his college career. It can't be debated because for the rest of that bowl game and then all of the next season he dominated the competition. I'm glad I finally found content out there that shares my views on the turning point in Burrow's football career. Special QB.
I wouldn't say Joe Burrow was the greatest throwing quarterback in college football history, he did very little before his senior year and to me totality of your career matters, but he did have the greatest passing year ever. Yes he had a ton of talent around him but he also was responsible for that talent shining. I cheered against him every game, except the Texas game, and he just came up big every game. For me it's not even the yards, though that's impressive as well, and not even his completion percentage, it was more of when you watched their games just how many times he hit his receivers perfectly in stride or just as importantly, threw to the correct spot that both prevented the defender from intercepting a pass and/or putting it where his receiver could catch it and not get killed. Just the consistency in placing the ball in good spots so his receivers could safely catch the ball or take off in stride is what was really impressive. He has a good arm but he doesn't have a cannon but because of how good his timing and placement is he could consistently hit big plays.
16:30 i legit never watch CFB, so i only found out about Joe Burrow watching a bengals game and falling in love with the passes this guy throws. So, i completely agree with that statement. I think hes the best thrower in the NFL rn and this is after his weak week 1 with 38 total yards
This was amazing! Didn’t realize how amazing burrow was I never got to really watch college football because I played college football at the same time
It made me very sad that Ohio State took a chance on this kid.. just to NOT take a chance on him to the point he transferred out to LSU. As a fellow Athens Ohio resident.. Joey B is the biggest thing thats ever happened to us and I would’ve loved to have seen him lead the buckeyes to the title. It wasn’t to be I guess but hopefully we can see him lead the Bengals to a SB championship!
To be fair ohio state would’ve never known he would’ve been a great QB and him being on LSU which was loaded with NFL talent and some future NFL HOF’s on offense he was set to succeed
@@ThatsNotTay Ohio State was loaded with NFL talent then as well (like usual), but also some future HOF’s on both sides of the ball. He would’ve equally been set up to succeed at Ohio State.. if not even more so than at LSU. He already knew Ohio State’s system inside and out wheres he had to learn LSU’s in a hurry and develop chemistry with new people. Remember where Ohio State was when Burrow lead LSU to the championship.. Ohio State was one missed communication away from getting a TD to beat Clemson in the semi final. And honestly.. that game should’ve never been that close to begin with. When we were up 16-0 and about to get the ball back with decent field position.. the refs decided to step in and turn that game around. We were on course to beat the brakes off of Clemson (like we did the year after that).. but after that BS targeting call, I knew the refs were going to do everything possible to keep us from winning.. and especially after they reversed the scoop 6. Every ref in college and the NFL later came out to say that was a BS call. Additionally, after the targeting call on us.. the refs let Clemson do whatever they wanted. There were several times their notoriously targeting LB at the time took several uncalled for and brutal shots to Dobbins when he was defenseless.. refs didn’t call any of them.. their OL line was holding our D line all night and their DB’s were literally wearing our WR’s jerseys they were holding them so much or they were flat put holding their arms down. We should’ve beaten Clemson that year by 40-50 points easy.. that’s considerably worse than LSU beat them in the final. However, if Burrow stays with Ohio State and they let him start like he should have in his last two years, then he doesn’t go to LSU and I doubt that LSU is as good as they were without Burrow. So, Burrow pretty much should’ve achieved the same thing regardless at Ohio State or LSU. But, it would’ve been great if we could’ve gotten that Ohio State/LSU final. I think Ohio State was the only team in the country that year that could’ve beat them.
I did the math although it may not be 100% realistic, but - if you take the average of the passing attempts by the QBs noted, it’s 685, that’s 158 more attempts than Joe had in 2019. Suppose Joe had 158 more throwing attempts with his 10.8 yards per attempt for the 2019 season, he would’ve had 7,377 yards on the season…
I wish I could find the interview Joe Burrow gave on the field immediately following that bowl game where he took that big hit. He said that they were going right back to work, all off-season and be unstoppable the next year. He called his shot, and delivered on it.
As a Jags fan, I really hope a healthy Burrow and a healthy Lawrence run it back in the AFC championship this coming season. That can really be the Manning/Brady of this generation.
@@DoNotPassGO Mahomes turns the ball over as much as Allen too😂 You fuckin casuals have no clue what an elite qb even is. Why should you anyway, your a Jags fan afterall🤣
Buckeye fan and I remember in the 2018 season being happy for Joe after he found some success at LSU after leaving us, then the next year espn was doing all these videos about the new LSU offense and I wrote it off like well ok they are good but ..how good?? then I proceed to watch possibly the best offense to ever lace up in CFB, def something special that should be considered with the top legends like the USC teams of the 00s, the miami and nebbraska teams etc , all time elite tier
Nobody talks about the NFL TALENT that was there at the time though! 1st ROUND PICK Running back in CE Helaire, 1st Round Pick Jamar Chase, 1st Round Pick Justin Jefferson, NFL Tight End Thaddeus Moss (son of Randy Moss). Burrow was good but just that WHOLE TEAM in general was simply REDICULOUSLY overpowered.
The thing about Joe's placement on the top 25 list is that, with the exception of Cam, all of the QBs ahead of him had multiple big, successful seasons as starters. Joe made it to #5 on the back of just that single insane season.
I remember watching those last few games and I didn't know who Burrow was. It was absolutely remarkable. So glad the Cincinnati Bengals got him! Who Dey
I’m so happy somebody remembers the Fiesta Bowl in 2019. I remember watching that game thinking that Burrow would be a great late-first round QB for my Colts when he declared for the draft. Fuck, how wrong I was 😅
Here after seeing burrow get injured this kids gonna comeback better than ever I swear adversity makes him better the year after that acl injury he looked hungry
2019 was peak LSU. Chase and Jefferson were straight cheat code at WR. Games felt like an NFL team picking on college players. Burrow still feels unreal for a college QB.
Joe Burrow was the physicist of football. I liked to say he outscored what his defense gave up because his defense was certainly not too impressive. He played the portal right. I'm predicting that Coach Kelly will get his National Championship ring at LSU too. People take a chance at LSU for greatness because the school sells you greatness all you have to do is believe in yourself and believe in your team. Trouble with LSU is they either have an outstanding offense or they have an outstanding defense but almost never do they have both at the same time. But they somehow manage the impossible. I'm being a good boy so when I die I can go to heaven and tell my father who is already there that his team has won more than one National Championship. My father watched Billy Cannon make his famous run on Halloween. I saw my first LSU game in 1959. The atmosphere of Tiger Stadium thrilled me so much so that I've been an LSU fan all of my life and I've even taken all of my nephews to games there so they can know what it's like to be in Tiger Stadium.
I can understand the statement that Joe Burrow may not be the greatest college football quarterback ever. But he is absolutely, 100% the greatest passer in college football.
Good breakdown...UGA threw the good and the bad, but I remember watching Joe slice us up and my jaw drop. LSU still sucks, but i bacame Joey B fan after that game. You did mention it but the LSU team was stacked that year. Having 2 future hall of fame receivers definitely helps.
UCF alum here and everyone needs to give Joey Conners credit for snapping Joe Burrow into beast mode indefinitely. After that hit that night the man played like a machine and hasn’t quit.
A few years ago my brother was watching a Buckeyes practice/scrimmage (no idea how he got to attend that - dude winds up in all kinds of situations like when he sent me a pic of him and Archie Griffin in a loge seat area at an OSU home game). He said the Buckeyes made a big mistake naming Dwayne Haskins as the starter - said they needed to start a guy named Joe Burrow and commented how great he was. I was like "who?"
I'm convenience Joey Conners ended #9's career at the Fiesta Bowl, because the QB that got up after that hit was NOT the same QB that went down. Maybe he was covertly replace by an alien doppelganger, or maybe it was some sort of body-possession by the ghost of Johnny Unitas. I'm not sure quite how plausible those options are, but the only other explanation is that Joey Conners hit him so hard that it knocked the mediocre clear out of him. Even if I'm not sure about the catalyst, I am sure that, ever since that play, Joe Burrow has been elite. I've been an LSU fan since the mid-2000s (my college roommates were from Baton Rouge so I started following LSU during Saban's run there, and I've been fan ever since); 2019 was by far the most fun I've ever had watching college football thanks to Joey B. It seemed like he was making marked improvements every week he played; a trend that arguably continues to this day, but the improvements were more drastic during the 2019 season. While I agree Joe Burrow isn't a top 3 college QB of all time, it doesn't negate the fact that Joe Burrow's 2019 season is the single greatest season ever played by a college QB.
Yeah I don’t put him top 3 all time because before his 2019 season (which is the greatest imo by a QB) he had an above average to decent one and barely played before it. Hell it’s the same reason I don’t place Cam top 3, and I catch flak for it, because he was a one season wonder. Yeah it was impressive what he did with what he had on offense, but they had a stout defense to support him and again, it was a single season.
Don’t forget that all year long the media was talking about how our defense sucked and couldn’t hold teams but we played the gauntlet of ranked opponents and even the SEC teams were better than most in the top 25.

Nice video man.. I played high school baseball for 4 years, and only played football in my freshman year when everyone made the team. I like football better, I just wasn't as good because I played baseball since tee-ball and never played pee-wee football so my only experience was 3rd string freshman and that was it.
Anyhow, I played 12 seasons of flag football... The first 6 seasons I played for a team which only won a single game in 6 seasons. We were 0-7/0-7/0-7/0-7/0-7/1-6 .. We had beer when we won and it was a big deal. My team had dropped me because I had neglected to show up for games twice without calling and letting them know in our 1-6 season (was there for win though).

The way we played was the opposing team had one rusher, but some teams would throw two rushers. No blockers so I could hike the ball then run a short "bailout" route if the other receivers weren't open. We also had a running back who would run a short route or take a lateral. It was a 7 on 7 game and we usually had about 12-14 players on a team.
The point to all of this is that EVERY season I looked forward to playing. I would count the days until we played again and actually worked on getting better. The teams were all through my job. I worked for VSP, and we had a LOT of employees. We also had teams made from eyeconic (eyeconic.com) who was a company under us and vision works. We have plenty of people wanting to play and had a wait list. We were about to add another two teams before the pandemic hit. The point though is that I think Burrow is like me. I see people in the NFL who don't like playing. Who get pissed off at the game when they lose. Who retire or ask for trades. Who pretty much hate the GAME they play where they make millions.

I think Joe Burrow sits on his couch with training camp circled on his calendar every year. Football is more of a game to myself and Burrow.... It's a way of life. Sadly I got laid off so I cannot play in the league anymore and I think they haven't been able to start a new one up because a lot of people left the company and were laid off during pandemic :(

@@ChrisPtoes27 "If you were an LSU fan in 2019, you already knew you were going to win." Literally how we thought lmfao
I say LSU 2019 is number 1 but a strong contender who had the greatest scoring offense of all time prior to Burrow was 2013 FSU. That team is extremely underrated and destroyed everyone just like LSU, but the difference was that their defense was just as good. Going into Death Valley and annihilating them like they did was… insane. Think they won by like 40
SEC Teams are consistently overrated, and most finish below their preseason ranking~
As a Georgia fan, watching Burrow slice up my team like that still gives me PTSD flashbacks. That LSU team was terrifyingly good.
Greatest of All time sir. No disrespect to your dawgs the last 2 years of even the bammers before you. I think the 2019 team destroys Nebraska and Miami teams as well
Twice in a row of you think about. I know that 2018 Georgia squad wasn’t the best out of the recent teams but LSU still took them to town
@@Meauxfeaux4972 I think Ohio State could’ve beaten LSU that year if they weren’t robbed against Clemson in the semifinal. They were on course to absolutely clap Clemson’s cheeks until that bs targeting call. If the refs didn’t interfere, I think they end up winning that game by 40-50+ points. I don’t know if we’d have definitely beat LSU.. but I think we would’ve given them the best run for their money. We’d have definitely made a more dream matchup with them than Clemson did.. Burrow and LSU against his old school Ohio State and the new kid Fields.. idk if you could intentionally script a better championship game matchup than that when it comes to drama.
@@darthsilversith667 OSU would’ve lost. It may have been closer, but they would’ve still lost by double digits
@@brendonbuffaloe8830 Idk, we had a damn good defense that year and our offense was really good too. Probably the best or top 2-3 most rounded teams Ohio State has ever fielded.
He was a coach's dream. Prototype at 6'4" and 220. A gun for an arm. Already a graduate and just took one course online so he could study football all day. 23 years old. Tough as nails. His dad was a coach and Joe had football intelligence. He had the desire which some talented people just don't have. It was all there. Geaux Tigers!
why tf would u spell go like that

no point of spelling go that way but okk

Joe Burrow had never taken a snap under center until he came to Lsu in 2018 and didnt complain about it once. 2018 Joe Burrow was "full back" Joe Burrow and stood tall in that pocket and never slid. We switched it up for him in 2019 and won the natty, then he tore his acl in 2020 on the bengals and changed his mindset, but he never whined about it. true leader
Burrow took some snaps for OSU.. just not as the starter.
@@darthsilversith667 no im talking about under center vs shotgun. he came up in pure shotgun offenses til he got to lsu. I never played QB but its hard to play in a system with dropbacks, you gotta get the ball out quick cuz the pass rush is on you quicker. It's major learning curve but it prolly helped him in the NFL cuz almost every team makes you do 3 step drop quick slant a few times a game. Lsu stopped running those plays in 2019 though and Joe Burrow flourished cuz we had crazy receivers and a good playcaller in Ensminger and Joe Brady. I respect Ed Orgeron for how he basically overhauled the offense every year his first 3 years. In 2017 they ran that Jet Sweep Matt Canada offense.
@@voiceofreason2674 Ahhhhh, fair enough yo 👍🏻
@@darthsilversith667 big up yaself go watch brett favre or young peyton and see how many throws he makes off a dropback. its a different type of football
@@voiceofreason2674Funny thing about it, it was Steve Ensminger who recruited Joe Burrow to come to LSU. After the Peach Bowl, Ensminger talked to Burrow about bringing in Brady, and asked got Burrow’s input into how he thinks the offense should be ran. Another person that doesn’t get enough credit as well is Jorge Munoz who also worked alongside Joe Brady and Steve Ensminger as an offensive analyst for LSU that season. That offense was tailored specifically to embrace every person’s strong-suit on the field, and it worked out for everybody.
Got to meet him (grew up in the same part of Ohio as him) before he was famous. Pretty normal and chill guy. Won the Gatorade Player of the year award or somethin. Now I work at the Bengals stadium and I bumped into him one time with the rest of my crew while he was warming up last year and he remembered me.
that's cool he remembered you
That's so cool
I’m an Alabama fan and I remember in 2018 we dominated him and shut LSU out and he looked lost but I remember seeing him later in the year and in the bowl game and it was like a light had gone on in his head, by 2019 he was a different quarterback. Absolutely unstoppable and have a ton respect for him.
Burrow was taking snaps under center in 2018 when the Tide played him something he had never done his entire football career. Probably why he seemed lost but he never complained...
I think the light came on because he finally got comfortable running the offense. Hell it was his first time starting since high school so that also had something to do with it. Hard task to try and carve up a team that’s one of, if not the, most talented in CFB with those working against him.
@@clark2501 Yeah, if I remember correctly Quinnen Williams just wrecked LSU’s offense almost singlehanded that night. He’s now an all pro d-lineman with the Jets so it’s not like Burrow was facing weaklings.
F Bama Roll Tears
@@2500hdxglad to know bama still lives rent free in people’s head
Still wild that this team had a top 3 QB and two top 5 WR in the entire NFL on their roster at the same time, it just doesn't happen
They also had a 1st round running back selected. Dont sleep on Clyde
Shows the gap
Even more wild is that stacked LSU roster played against an Alabama team who had a 1st round QB, 4 first round WRs, 2 first round RBs and between the 2 teams countless other future NFL guys. That game was probably the most talent filled college football game of all time
Yeah it does it’s called bama
How about this. Ole Miss in 2018 had Dawson Knox (future pro bowl tight end) and AJ Brown and DK Metcalf (both future All-Pro wideouts) and managed to only go 5-7 (1-7 in the SEC).
Joe Burrow was the most NFL ready, college quarterback I've ever seen. Seemed like every pass was placed perfectly for his receivers.
He simply made playing quarterback in the SEC look so easy
dude always look so calm. makes it look easy.
Yet always looks pissed
Turned him into a legend 💯
Mad respect for Burrow from a Bama alum. Love him in Cincinatti as well. Just an all around good guy and hard working teammate. Love to see it. Superbowl soon 🤞
Whoa.. *pinches myself..* a bama fan that’s not an insufferable twat waffle!?! How bout them apples lol 👍🏻
@@darthsilversith667Every fan base has‘insufferable twats’ as you put it. At least we have reasons to be
I am 77, an LSU fan since I was a little kid. My Dad and hooped and hollered for Billy Cannon's great Halloween run, but the year Burrow and the team had in 2019 was magical. It will long be a legend and deservedly so. Thank you coach "O" for putting those pieces together. I know things went south the next year but I will always be grateful to coach "O" for putting that team together. Go Tigers! Go Joe Burrow, a cool cat who knew how to get it done.
The Connors hit aligned his 7th chakra like Aang fighting Ozai lmaoo
God this 2019 run was LEGENDARY watching every game on TV and just seeing Burrow sling it with ease
I’m a Tiger fan from way back. I grew up down the street from Tiger Stadium. I’ve never seen a season like 2019 and I am honored to have been able to watch that season with my family. It was some of the best times we’ve ever had with all of us still here. As a way to show our appreciation, I made a custom wooden name plaque for Joe that says Burreaux and wrote him a letter from all us fans just what the season meant to us. I know it’s just a game but sometimes it’s more than just a game. I was told through my connection that he got it. He is a wonderful person and I’ll forever be a Burrow fan.
Super cool....
I live in Looziana and it was an honor and a pleasure to watch that 2019 LSU team play. And after just the first few games, I had the presence of mind to realize that I was watching history in the making. We in Looziana are forever grateful for each and every factor that played a part in leading Joe Burrow to LSU. I still love watching him play for the Bengals in the NFL. It seems that so many folks don't truly understand him. When people try to compare him to other QBs, they are trying to compare apples and oranges...and it never turns out showing Joe in all his graciousness, guts, grit, and glory.
I’m Bengals fan and Joe Burrow is the biggest blessing ever to Cincinnati. He turned our franchise around from the dust
As an lsu fan it feels good to relive this season. Truly the most special feeling every week after a certain point. It felt like a dream.
Fr.
This video was just instance after instance of "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE" and I love it. Phenomenally presented. I love how you contextualize everything, not just looking at the stats, but how difficult it should have been to put up stats like that in a stacked SEC division.
Yup it’s a banger your videos are better than actual productions by entire companies
You flatter me
I remember the absolute celebration my family and I had when LSU beat Alabama in 2019, and that’s not even counting the national championship, and being before Covid 19, 2019 was definitely a year to remember because of how much of an LSU fan I am
The UCF vs LSU game is the first game I ever watched Burrows and despite being a huge Tide fan I was instantly a fan and cheered for LSU that whole miracle 2019 season
Burrow’s season was like watching a movie unfold. That championship game was absolutely insane
Colt Brennan wasn’t just in the WAC. He was in the run-and-shoot offense, which if there is one offense more sling it around than the Air Raid, it’s this one.
I remember taking a band trip to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl my senior year and not knowing who Joe Burrow was. But after watching him play catch with Jefferson for three quarters, I never forgot his name
As a bama fan, he’s the best college QB I’ve seen.
Only 2010 Cam Newton was even more incredible by doing the same thing with less total offensive talent at skill positions. That cones from Alabama fan. At a distant 3rd with most impressive seasons would be Bryce Young last season which includes a couple of losses and on paper more talent but in reality at receiver especially not. Back to the point, Joe and Cam could have been switched with qbs on any team playing them close and the results would be different. Those 2 both were so important to their teams' success that it baffles me as to how they were transfers from schools with whom they had signed. Leads me to believe that WRs and DBs get to help paint the picture toward their preferred teammate.
Me too I’m a bama fan he’s a super human
Yeah, the only season that compares to Burrow's season in 2019 is Cam Newton's 2010 season. Boy was that amazing! 😃
Me to I agree
Amazing season to watch for sure. Memories that will last a lifetime!!!! Thank you Joe Burreaux for showing us what hard work and dedication can do if one believes in himself and their teammates and thank you Joe Brady for giving him the offense to put on a show each week. It really was amazing to watch!!!
What's crazy to me is that I got to witness Joe Burrow's last College loss in the 7 OT game in College Station. Absolutely crazy the tear he went on after that game.
Insane game. One you hated to see either team lose.
Watched many of the games showcased here live. Been watch football for over 40 years, each game he continued to impress, I still wasn’t sure if what I was witnessing was real. During the playoff games he was holding a scalpel disguised as a football. Brilliance I had never seen at that position in the college game, LSU could have worn 49ers uniforms(Walsh/Montana era)and I wouldn’t have questioned it.
I was the biggest lsu bandwagon fan during the National championship I’m a South Carolina fan so to see Clemson lose was very very sweet and see lsu win as they should have they were on a different level
This was an incredible video. Your narration is next level
Burrow is a hoss. Love the guy, and I'm a Mahomie to the core. I love the competition the AFC has right now with easily 3 of the top 4 QBs in the game.
Fantastic video
I really enjoyed it
Thanks for reminding everyone how special his time was at lsu
As a South Carolina fan who’s happy with where we’re going now with Beamer I think this was by the best College Football season of all time (as a whole)
I've been pounding the drum that this pick 6 vs UCF literally ignited Joe Burrow's career. Especially his college career. It can't be debated because for the rest of that bowl game and then all of the next season he dominated the competition. I'm glad I finally found content out there that shares my views on the turning point in Burrow's football career. Special QB.
Joe Shiesty’s 2019 season is the greatest season of college fb by a QB in history
I mean you could say that about the entire LSU team that year. They were more dominant than any team I’ve seen.
Just as good as the first time
2nd watch ur Goated
I wouldn't say Joe Burrow was the greatest throwing quarterback in college football history, he did very little before his senior year and to me totality of your career matters, but he did have the greatest passing year ever. Yes he had a ton of talent around him but he also was responsible for that talent shining. I cheered against him every game, except the Texas game, and he just came up big every game. For me it's not even the yards, though that's impressive as well, and not even his completion percentage, it was more of when you watched their games just how many times he hit his receivers perfectly in stride or just as importantly, threw to the correct spot that both prevented the defender from intercepting a pass and/or putting it where his receiver could catch it and not get killed. Just the consistency in placing the ball in good spots so his receivers could safely catch the ball or take off in stride is what was really impressive. He has a good arm but he doesn't have a cannon but because of how good his timing and placement is he could consistently hit big plays.
Joey B. was a BEAST. All you can do is just laugh. His numbers were insane.
16:30 i legit never watch CFB, so i only found out about Joe Burrow watching a bengals game and falling in love with the passes this guy throws. So, i completely agree with that statement. I think hes the best thrower in the NFL rn and this is after his weak week 1 with 38 total yards
I was at that 2019 CFP Semifinal, and as a Sooner's fan, I have mad respect for what Burrow did
This was amazing! Didn’t realize how amazing burrow was I never got to really watch college football because I played college football at the same time
great video. Burrow & that 2019 LSU offense best i ever seen
It made me very sad that Ohio State took a chance on this kid.. just to NOT take a chance on him to the point he transferred out to LSU. As a fellow Athens Ohio resident.. Joey B is the biggest thing thats ever happened to us and I would’ve loved to have seen him lead the buckeyes to the title. It wasn’t to be I guess but hopefully we can see him lead the Bengals to a SB championship!
To be fair ohio state would’ve never known he would’ve been a great QB and him being on LSU which was loaded with NFL talent and some future NFL HOF’s on offense he was set to succeed
@@ThatsNotTay Ohio State was loaded with NFL talent then as well (like usual), but also some future HOF’s on both sides of the ball. He would’ve equally been set up to succeed at Ohio State.. if not even more so than at LSU. He already knew Ohio State’s system inside and out wheres he had to learn LSU’s in a hurry and develop chemistry with new people. Remember where Ohio State was when Burrow lead LSU to the championship.. Ohio State was one missed communication away from getting a TD to beat Clemson in the semi final. And honestly.. that game should’ve never been that close to begin with. When we were up 16-0 and about to get the ball back with decent field position.. the refs decided to step in and turn that game around. We were on course to beat the brakes off of Clemson (like we did the year after that).. but after that BS targeting call, I knew the refs were going to do everything possible to keep us from winning.. and especially after they reversed the scoop 6. Every ref in college and the NFL later came out to say that was a BS call. Additionally, after the targeting call on us.. the refs let Clemson do whatever they wanted. There were several times their notoriously targeting LB at the time took several uncalled for and brutal shots to Dobbins when he was defenseless.. refs didn’t call any of them.. their OL line was holding our D line all night and their DB’s were literally wearing our WR’s jerseys they were holding them so much or they were flat put holding their arms down.
We should’ve beaten Clemson that year by 40-50 points easy.. that’s considerably worse than LSU beat them in the final. However, if Burrow stays with Ohio State and they let him start like he should have in his last two years, then he doesn’t go to LSU and I doubt that LSU is as good as they were without Burrow. So, Burrow pretty much should’ve achieved the same thing regardless at Ohio State or LSU. But, it would’ve been great if we could’ve gotten that Ohio State/LSU final. I think Ohio State was the only team in the country that year that could’ve beat them.
@@darthsilversith667bro wtf
Joe wouldn’t have been the same if he stayed he needed lsu and we sure as hell needed him
@@darthsilversith667 I ain’t reading all that, but we up! 🎉🎉🔥🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽‼️❗️
He was such must-see TV. I'll always be a Burrow fan.
I did the math although it may not be 100% realistic, but - if you take the average of the passing attempts by the QBs noted, it’s 685, that’s 158 more attempts than Joe had in 2019. Suppose Joe had 158 more throwing attempts with his 10.8 yards per attempt for the 2019 season, he would’ve had 7,377 yards on the season…
I’m a falcons fan and I can honestly say he his my favourite qb to watch
Listen, I'm a huge JB fan lol. I remember that exact hit and I'm so glad he went number 1 overall. Thanks so much for making this video.
I wish I could find the interview Joe Burrow gave on the field immediately following that bowl game where he took that big hit. He said that they were going right back to work, all off-season and be unstoppable the next year. He called his shot, and delivered on it.
who tf moaned in my ear at 2:24 ????
Ong
great video man
as a clemson and an OU fan (in that order)... 2019 hurt to watch when LSU popped up.
Listen, I’m a chiefs fan, but Joe Burrow is insane. I truly love both of them, even if they are enemies.
The quick/out of nowhere “nice” after the 69 absolutely sent me 😂
As a Jags fan, I really hope a healthy Burrow and a healthy Lawrence run it back in the AFC championship this coming season. That can really be the Manning/Brady of this generation.
Manning/Brady is Allen and Mahomes. They are the class of the nfl and no one is even close.
@@JoshAllen17Goated Once Allen stops turning the ball over nearly as much as Daniel Jones, I'll consider him the Manning to Mahomes' Brady.
@@DoNotPassGO Mahomes turns the ball over as much as Allen too😂 You fuckin casuals have no clue what an elite qb even is. Why should you anyway, your a Jags fan afterall🤣
Buckeye fan and I remember in the 2018 season being happy for Joe after he found some success at LSU after leaving us, then the next year espn was doing all these videos about the new LSU offense and I wrote it off like well ok they are good but ..how good??
then I proceed to watch possibly the best offense to ever lace up in CFB, def something special that should be considered with the top legends like the USC teams of the 00s, the miami and nebbraska teams etc , all time elite tier
He's incredible! He's also only half of the equation. The guys that catch those passes are equally incredible.
2019 LSU was just supernatural
I love this guy's commentary
I will never forget hearing that hit.
Nobody talks about the NFL TALENT that was there at the time though! 1st ROUND PICK Running back in CE Helaire, 1st Round Pick Jamar Chase, 1st Round Pick Justin Jefferson, NFL Tight End Thaddeus Moss (son of Randy Moss). Burrow was good but just that WHOLE TEAM in general was simply REDICULOUSLY overpowered.
I probably remember? I was there, I’ll never forget. And I’ll never forget what he did to us afterwards.
Great video Dawg ✌🤘
I don't know that we'll never see something like that again, but if we do, it'll be special.
The thing about Joe's placement on the top 25 list is that, with the exception of Cam, all of the QBs ahead of him had multiple big, successful seasons as starters. Joe made it to #5 on the back of just that single insane season.
I would love to see Joe Burrow win a Chip soon :) as a Vikings Fan, too bad he’s 0-3, hopefully he’ll get a win against the panthers.
I remember watching those last few games and I didn't know who Burrow was. It was absolutely remarkable. So glad the Cincinnati Bengals got him! Who Dey
Damn! That TD Pass against GA Southern was like threading the needle 🏈
i love your storytelling ability bro!
I’m so happy somebody remembers the Fiesta Bowl in 2019. I remember watching that game thinking that Burrow would be a great late-first round QB for my Colts when he declared for the draft. Fuck, how wrong I was 😅
As a Clemson fan this man still gives me nightmares...
This video is a cinematic masterpiece
Here after seeing burrow get injured this kids gonna comeback better than ever I swear adversity makes him better the year after that acl injury he looked hungry
As a massive Lamar glazer, captain baby face is a pretty impressive athlete
2019 was peak LSU. Chase and Jefferson were straight cheat code at WR. Games felt like an NFL team picking on college players. Burrow still feels unreal for a college QB.
So lucky to be alive for this.
You know whats funny, my buddy is a UCF fan he literally points to this play that completely changed him. Never seen anyone else point that out
im from lousaina, had a smile on my face the whole time.
greatest college team of all time great video
Nice work on this video dude!
Joe Burrow was the physicist of football. I liked to say he outscored what his defense gave up because his defense was certainly not too impressive. He played the portal right. I'm predicting that Coach Kelly will get his National Championship ring at LSU too. People take a chance at LSU for greatness because the school sells you greatness all you have to do is believe in yourself and believe in your team. Trouble with LSU is they either have an outstanding offense or they have an outstanding defense but almost never do they have both at the same time. But they somehow manage the impossible. I'm being a good boy so when I die I can go to heaven and tell my father who is already there that his team has won more than one National Championship. My father watched Billy Cannon make his famous run on Halloween. I saw my first LSU game in 1959. The atmosphere of Tiger Stadium thrilled me so much so that I've been an LSU fan all of my life and I've even taken all of my nephews to games there so they can know what it's like to be in Tiger Stadium.
as a lsu fan that was the most fun i have ever had watching football
I can understand the statement that Joe Burrow may not be the greatest college football quarterback ever. But he is absolutely, 100% the greatest passer in college football.
This vid aged well
Awesome video 👍🏽
Good breakdown...UGA threw the good and the bad, but I remember watching Joe slice us up and my jaw drop. LSU still sucks, but i bacame Joey B fan after that game. You did mention it but the LSU team was stacked that year. Having 2 future hall of fame receivers definitely helps.
As an LSU fan, I want to see 2019 every year lol.
Burrow is him.
UCF alum here and everyone needs to give Joey Conners credit for snapping Joe Burrow into beast mode indefinitely. After that hit that night the man played like a machine and hasn’t quit.
That´s a great edit, good video
As a utah state fan, i am so happy we got one of byrrow-s only ints
Great video, Joey B is a beast. Geaux Tigers
Greatest single season qb preformance ever
A few years ago my brother was watching a Buckeyes practice/scrimmage (no idea how he got to attend that - dude winds up in all kinds of situations like when he sent me a pic of him and Archie Griffin in a loge seat area at an OSU home game). He said the Buckeyes made a big mistake naming Dwayne Haskins as the starter - said they needed to start a guy named Joe Burrow and commented how great he was. I was like "who?"
a lot of OSU fans were convinced burrow shouldve been the starter after that spring game.
I'm convenience Joey Conners ended #9's career at the Fiesta Bowl, because the QB that got up after that hit was NOT the same QB that went down. Maybe he was covertly replace by an alien doppelganger, or maybe it was some sort of body-possession by the ghost of Johnny Unitas. I'm not sure quite how plausible those options are, but the only other explanation is that Joey Conners hit him so hard that it knocked the mediocre clear out of him.
Even if I'm not sure about the catalyst, I am sure that, ever since that play, Joe Burrow has been elite. I've been an LSU fan since the mid-2000s (my college roommates were from Baton Rouge so I started following LSU during Saban's run there, and I've been fan ever since); 2019 was by far the most fun I've ever had watching college football thanks to Joey B. It seemed like he was making marked improvements every week he played; a trend that arguably continues to this day, but the improvements were more drastic during the 2019 season.
While I agree Joe Burrow isn't a top 3 college QB of all time, it doesn't negate the fact that Joe Burrow's 2019 season is the single greatest season ever played by a college QB.
Yeah I don’t put him top 3 all time because before his 2019 season (which is the greatest imo by a QB) he had an above average to decent one and barely played before it. Hell it’s the same reason I don’t place Cam top 3, and I catch flak for it, because he was a one season wonder. Yeah it was impressive what he did with what he had on offense, but they had a stout defense to support him and again, it was a single season.
Some would say LSU was a defense away from another with Jayden Daniels(both being transfers and all) lol Very cool Vid
Absolute banger of a video
Don’t forget that all year long the media was talking about how our defense sucked and couldn’t hold teams but we played the gauntlet of ranked opponents and even the SEC teams were better than most in the top 25.
