re: Burrow has had a great advantage. He is not bothered by being a student.

I'm sorry you are too stupid to get into any college.

Bu then there will always be a need for someone to "super size the order, sir?"

"Maybe" my observation is. You have removed all doubt as to whether your take is goofy or even what it is. I am merely pointing out what SI as an editorial staff thinks is topical. To wit: Dedicated kid from exceptionally driven family, rejected by favorite school, TWICE and by multiple coaches. Graduated in 3 years during which time he made little progress athletically then becomes the best player in CFB when he is not distracted by class and student responsibilities. Which NO DOUBT in my and the eyes of SI is a least partially responsible for the biggest one year improvement of maybe any CFB player in my memory. And the inference is shared by SI since they went there. Obviously the kid had some untapped ability as well.

So is the best way to gain close to if not an NFL QB for that one huge year the LSU/Joe Burrow way. Find a guy with a foundation for some success who has spent 3 years learning and living off another school and is driven enough to graduate. Bring him in on basically a dedicate your life to football (JB admits he knows little about LSU campus) for 2 years like you would in an NFL setting and see where it takes you. Exceptional young man who has found his sweet spot and supercharged a traditional 3 lose program. His one year improvement is the story obviously in CFB 2019. And there are, as always, reason(s) for it. Those reasons are not magic or Louisiana voodoo.

Edit to add: This in no way "cheapens" what the kid has accomplished. My SIL played ball with and knows his brother and is sick NU didn't take him even when given a second chance. A path to the big time can vary. Same SI mag has a story on this NBA starter and scorer who couldn't make his HS team til 12th grade. And now hitting 45% on 3's.

You do realize that today's Heisman winner will have two degrees. Herschel Walker has none.

He’s taking the required amount of graduate classes to be eligible abandons earning his masters this month.

He’s a smart young man.

He’s not an ignorant goober like you.
