Joe Burrow struggling "badly" in camp

Jay Morrison and Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic shared some of their observations on Tuesday, and they said Burrow and the offense are committing multiple turnovers almost every practice session. Burrow has struggled to throw the ball downfield, and the way he has been playing makes the reporters wonder if he is nervous about getting hit near his surgically repaired knee.
quote:
Throws that felt like layups last year are dropping harmlessly away from receivers or easily broken up by multiple defenders. There might be a multitude of reasons for the struggles, but this has been ugly. At one point, pressure pushed into his face and Burrow lifted his leg into the air almost to avoid any accident with the close pocket. It makes you wonder if the knee is still in his head, but that’s strictly guesswork. The bottom line is there’s no way to say his play looks comfortable at this point and this isn’t at all what you have seen from Burrow even in the early camp moments of last season.

Burrow completed just 5-of-12 passes with an interception during the 11-on-11 portion of Tuesday’s session

He probably needs to get hit in some live action to gain confidence in the knee again.

He didn’t struggle in Tuscaloosa. He does better against a Bama defense.

I mean should we talk about shitty Tua has been in the NFL or nah?

I sure like him, but he's looking more & more like a Joe Brady system QB

Or maybe your legs are an integral part of your throwing motion

Not surprising after that injury, takes time to get back to 100%.

He has to be worried about it happening again. Look at the team around him, particularly the terrible OL
Posted on 8/5/21 at 8:55 am to TideSaint
He also has 4 of the starting 5 OL-men out due to injuries right now.

Joe Burrow vs Alabama in 2018
18 for 35, 184 yards, 0 tds, 1 interception
Alabama 29
LSU 0
So Burrow had one good game vs UA in 2019 and one relatively poor game. That kind of reflects his college career overall. Had to transfer out of Ohio State to get playing time, had one average (at best) year and one good year.

Oh really?
You guys never gave Tua that benefit of the doubt after his numerous injuries. Hell, even a lot of ignorant Alabama fans didn't and still don't

*one of the best seasons by a college quarterback ever

Can you say BUST? 
Burrow was a system QB who only did well because of Joe Brady. Meanwhile when Bryce Young goes pro, BAMA will have an entire division’s worth of starting NFL QBs while LSU will just have Burrow riding the bench at best.

They got lit up! Greatest offense in history! Best team in history! Enough said.

His offensive line is absolute trash. It's way too early to say he's a bust or he's overrated.
