One of the big questions for the top prospects who are moving into the NFL are things like the physicality needed to play with the other pros. Guys who are made of glass usually don't last long once they are subjected to the rigors of the NFL. I was among those who wondered how badly Joe was hurt when he took that hit on the first TD pass to Moss in the championship game.I believe Burrow has had the best season a QB could every hope to have. He now sets the bar. This team, IMO, is the greatest single season college football team EVER! 2019/2020 LSU Tiger now set the bar.
It's just extraordinary how Burrow was able to torch Clemson's best DB. Their best DB on the best College defense. Clemson had only allowed 9 passing TD's all year. Joe had 5 in one game, one called back and knelt down on the 5yd line to end the game. What he has done is unfathomable in today's modern football era. Extraordinary times 1000.
Do you think he’s the best Tiger football player of all time and if not who would you put ahead of him?
Yes... it's a shame that these 'non-glamorous' positions aren't generally held in such high esteem by the fans or the media. And yet most often it is these 'trench guys' who really make the 'glory guys' look so good.To me though, the best all time tiger goes to a guy most probably don't ever think about. Andrew Whitworth started the 2nd most games of any player in NCAA history. He led the teams in snaps for 4 straight years and played 3 different positions on the offensive line. He went two straight seasons without ever allowing a sack including one at LT. He was a road grader in the running game, team captain for 3 years and never missed a practice. He has been underrated his entire career, a 6'7 guy that is now 39 years old and still playing at a high level in the NFL after 14 seasons and almost never missing a game. In 2014 he didn't allow a single sack in the NFL and still didn't get voted to the Pro Bowl. In high school at 6'7 275lbs he was a tennis champion that showed the rare athletic ability for a man his size. To me, showing up and going to work every single day for 4 seasons while being dominant on the field and a leader off the field is really difficult to top by a single season, even if that single season is the closest thing to perfection I've seen.
