400k isnt alot of money
Average lsu alum will earn that much more than a bama grad in only 30 years

It would also buy 13 double wides

Joe Burrow's numbers were in the top three of all college football QBs in the country. Burrow is not just a one year wonder.



LSU played Rice, Texas A&M (7 overtimes mind you) and UCF Joe Burrow most certainly is a one year wonder and Joe Brady is certainly the entire reason he will go #1 in the 2020 draft. He transferred out of OSU for a reason.


That’s what worries me the most if I’m NFL execs. The QBs he sat behind before he got coached up by Brady were objectively horrible which tells me he’s a system QB and will ultimately struggle to make it past his rookie contract.

Given his talent level, Tua has dramatically underperformed in big games. Basically made his entire reputation on one play versus Georgia in the NCG where they busted coverage. Subsequently had bad games against Georgia 2018, Clemson 2018, and LSU 2019.

At a certain point, the guy has got to deliver in one of these big games to live up to the hype. Maybe the light will come on in the NFL, but I doubt it. Very risky pick, if you ask me.

Tua is a zero-year wonder. Let that sink in.

Knowing that Tua’s stats were heavily inflated due to quick slants


Shows his ability to find the open man.

The slant narrative is funny. LSU hit 75 slants last year to Alabama’s 37. If you’d like the link for that I will provide it, I’d suggest you just take the L though.

Also, you provided no evidence of any worry. Not the first quote. Will you bump this when he goes in the top 5?

The rare self burn. 29-0 happened.

We were down 2 touchdowns when he entered the game. We missed a chip shot field goal at the end of regulation to win it, which would’ve prevented the 40 yard rope in overtime

Luckily for you Burrow finally did. Kid went in a month in 2018 without a TD and lost to Florida and Aggy.

Led Bama to 21 points vs Ga in 2018 and was driving again when injured (Hurts finished drive and led Bama to another td), kicked LSU's arse in 2018 29-0 while injured(not a big game?), beat au 2018 52-21 played injured. Lost one game in 2018 and one in 2019.

Was that a big game, though? I don't think anyone thought LSU was championship caliber in 2018. Maybe we were highly ranked, but nobody seriously considered us a playoff contender.

Tua played like shite in the only two of Alabama's three big games that year: vs. Georgia and vs. Clemson. He played well vs. Oklahoma, but who doesn't? Actually, I'm not sure Oklahoma counts, either, given their recent history.

Ahh revisionists history. I’m certain you were among those talking up the grandiose of night time in Death Valley and how y’all were going to whip our arse. That was the year. Burrow ain’t Etling. Spare me bruh.

You're thinking of the 2017 NCG

I was referring to the 2018 Ga game.

Any way just pointing out some facts. Wont matter he'll be drafted very high in the draft and financially should be set.

Nah, just being honest about my own team -- a capability that apparently eludes you. You guys criticize Burrow for being a "one-year wonder," but Tua did not put together a single complete season in his three years at Alabama. He is the most overrated player since Leonard Fournette.
