I agree, Burrow isn't too good for Ohio....he's WAY too good for Ohio! He has already played football in Athens for several years, it was called high school. Him coming back to Athens, Ohio to play college football would be a crime and a waste of his talents. Joe Burrow is like (Good) Will Hunting. He's sitting on a winning lottery ticket. The kid has trememdous game and can play about anywhere in the country that he wants to go (the sky is the limit). He's current battling for the #2 spot (injury aside) for the #2 ranked team in the country. Think about that for a second. He could be in line to start....START...at Ohio State next season. Think about that for a second! He's part of a program that contends and completes for NATIONAL Championships and plays in major bowl games. Not for one playing in bowls hardly anyone know about or cares about. Burrow coming back to Athens would be like Will Hunting sticking around Southie hammering blocks at a demo site. It would be a total waste of his time, ability and potential. If OSU ultimately isn't in his future then so be it. Then he should go elsewhere if that's the case. But if "elsewhere" ever became Athens, Ohio, then Ben Affleck is gonna come there and kick his ass!
LOL. My goodness. Quick, who was the backup at Clemson or Alabama last year? Nobody remembers. Mr. Burrow may suffer the same fate. Or not. But to say he shouldn't have played at Ohio or anywhere in the MAC is a bit over the top. Plenty of examples of all sorts of pro athletes who played in the MAC.
Again, my bet (ever since he signed) is his last college pass will not be for TOSU. If I'm wrong -- then good for him.
