Im curious from around the SEC, how do you all actually feel about Joe Burrow? Is he fun to watch? Entertaining etc..?

I've listed a few quarterbacks from other SEC teams that I have actually pulled for and enjoyed watching:

- Nick Marshall
- Ryan Mallett
- Matt Jones
- Jay Cutler
- Matt Stafford
- Aaron Murray
- Brodie Croyle
- Brandon Cox
- Johnny Manziel
- Tim Tebow
- Connor Shaw
- Chase Daniel
- Blaine Gabbert
- Rex Grossman
- Cam Newton
- Dak Prescott
- Tyler Russell
- Jared Lorenzen
- Chad Kelly
- Jevan Snead

I guess it depends. He is a very good QB running what looks like an innovative and fun system.

I haven't watched his interviews so I don't have any opinion on stuff like that.

He carries himself well. Shows maturity but also has a confidence and swagger, but it’s not like Baker Mayfield, more subtle and professional.

I mean he's not exciting or flashy but he's tough and he's getting the job done at, frankly, an unbelievable level right now. I was a big Burrow doubter and I'm still curious to see how he does this weekend and at Bama but he's definitely earned my respect.

Hes having a great season. I dont think many really expected how well he and LSU has performed. All I have to say is that LSU fans should be very ecstatic and proud of their team this year. Most fan bases would love to be experiencing the success they are having.

The moxie and confidence is awesome and he clearly commands an offense well.

The NFL draft stock rise he’s had is crazy but not necessarily unwarranted. He doesn’t wow you throwing the ball or with athleticism like you might expect from a top of the draft QB, but it’s all plenty good enough. The thing that puts him up there IMO is the reads he makes and what he can do pre snap. He’s the type of QB who should be comfortable day 1 in an NFL setting.

I like him. Confident, smart, good leader, but not full of himself. He can make all the throws, and the offense takes on his personality. Def fun to watch. He's what you wish Baker was.

Kid is an NFL QB through and through. I think he's the best in the SEC.

Chase Daniel played in the Big 12. Mizzou was not in the SEC when he played. But a solid list nonetheless

Video game QB

I just hope Auburn can find a way to make him uncomfortable and out of rhythm.

People talk about quick release but it’s more quick decision because he can quickly see which route is developing best. Very impressive and I hope he stumbles, trips, falls, sacked 15 times

I noticed how you left off any Alabama QB that has ever beaten LSU's arse

My opinion of Burrow is that he is a tough, smart player with a good arm, in a good system.

He's been so efficient, its almost boring to watch at this point that's pretty impressive.

I liked Hurts. I like Tua. Coker was an easy guy to root for IMO. Other than that I have not been a fan of any Bama qb's. Not that I don't think others have been bad, just I mean in line with what the OP is asking about. Tebow was my favorite non-LSU qb. I liked Eli before the draft fiasco. Liked Dobbs. I like Mond and think he gets crapped on too much. Could go on...but don't want to

Very tough, big and strong, can make all the throws, very accurate. You rarely see him off target. Also very aware in the pocket. Good at avoiding the rush, very quick and nimble on his feet for a 6'4" guy.

He almost always gets the most out of every play, but doesn't get greedy and force things.

He looked similar last year, but the difference was the OL was not good and he was running for his life and the receivers dropped too many passes.

Burrow is my adopted favorite non Texas player, I make a point to watch or track his performance each week.

#1 QB in CFB & best NFL prospect @ the position as well. He has elite tools & between the ears is where he separates himself from the pack.

He's tough, he's a gamer, and he seems tailor-made for this system. Thought he was a solid QB last year and thought he'd be good this year...but I was wrong, he's been great...

I liked him last season when his nickname was fittingly Average Joe, and not as an insult. He was a solid game manager type that had a lot of confidence. He was careful not to make mistakes, and he allowed LSU to succeed in most cases. He also is a scrappy runner.

And then this year the transformation is insane. Not sure I can recall such a jump in one year. His confidence is through the roof, and his play reflects it. I was sold on him this year when he threw that 3rd and long for TD late against Texas.

His accuracy this year and ability to find his guy has been superb. I’m really hoping we can manage to slow him down.
