    Have to agree... would love to have tOSU CBs matchup, but LSU just has too many weapons.

    ... but it pissed me off the way we lost to Clemson... namely Trevor's running... he ain't all that as a runner.

    And now.....who gives a shit.   (unless you had money riding on it....did you?)

    Neither team likeable enough to root for.  

    The only interesting thing about this game will be to look back on it in 10 years to see which QB came out with the better NFL career.

    And you wonder why I have him as a mortal lock going to the Bengals?  I'd trade Mayfield and our first round pick to Cinci right now for Joe, and not give it a second thought. 

    @tour2ma said:

    If I were Cinci, I'd draft at least one LSU WR to keep him company.

    Not sure what to make of Higgins... seems like a bit of a pussy.

    And I really don't know what to make of Lawrence... last year's playoff run impressed, but this year vs. top defenses I've seen jack... at least from his arm.

    A bigger and slower version of Lamar Jackson. When LSU brought the heat, he threw some downright errant passes.

    1. Cinci probably would want more than swapping R1 picks plus Mayfield.  I was thinking about that during the game watching Burrow pick apart the undefeated and defending champions.  

    2. I've always believed that the super tall QBs have built in problems, sure they can see over the lines better than a 6' to 6' 3" guy and might have a cannon arm -but- they lose a lot in mobility which can also lead to excessive hits particularly in the legs.  And a cannon arm isn't always accurate.  A matter of preference I guess.

    Keep going... I'd have no issues adding our 2021 #1 to that mix... and it still probably is not enough.

    Super Joe has everything I saw in Baker at Oklahoma, but even more of it.   Yeah- put the 2019 version of Burrow on the Buckeyes, and they beat Clemson.... That's one big fish OSU let get away....

    Just realized I don't have a comparison for Burrow. Lately it's been, "So and so is the best I've seen since Luck," but I think Burrow is better than Luck... so now I'm stuck for a comparison.

    Only thing that gives me any pause in saying "better than Luck" is Luck's deeper resume, but it's only an exceedingly brief pause.

    I guess I need to figure who Luck was my "best since"... maybe Carson Palmer??? Great... another Bengal draft pick... lol...

    Watching the title game, Burrow is a locked in 1st overall. In all my years, I don't remember watching a college qb and

    thinking "he plays like he is a pro qb already". I wonder how many high draft picks New England would have to give to Cincy to trade up? lol

    Just a little side note right now in SB 54 the AFC is a 3 point favorite over the NFC what does that tell you?  The KC/TEN side looks stronger than the SF/GB side.  Agree or disagree?    https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/superbowl/history

    Some Super Bowl notes in general...... and YES our BROWNS were in the conversation preseason...... continued in the link........

    Another strange thing that just happened in the last weeks/months no NE/BAL in the Final Four.   At one time they were BIG favorites.

    I think it depends on who actually makes it.  If SFO does, I suspect they would be  favorites over anyone.  Wouldn't they?
