QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, National Champion)

[brodybuck21]

Burrow didn't start until his RSjr year. So if we're going off a pure year to year comparison, then It can only be marked as N/A.

The comparisons we're giving are essentially what we know of Joe in his last season contrasted to what we see with JS now and using a great deal of projection.

Julian still has quite a bit of room for growth, especially when it comes to being more efficient as a passer when given full field reads.

That was something that, about 3/4 of the way through his 1st season starting, Burrow really began to show a higher level of command. Not to say that Julian can't improve, it's just that Joe was the best QB prospect since Peyton Manning.

So when we make these comparisons, it's important to realize we're holding Julian up to a lofty, multi-generational rare talent status. I'm not comfortable making those claims.

I even find the Brees comparisons a bit lazy. Every white dude the last 10+ years that 6'0ish ft tall is Drew Brees. Julian, Kellen Moore, Baker Mayfield, Cade Klubnik, Manziel, Ty Simpson... all get WAY too much parallel to Drew Brees. Why? 6ft-ish and white.

Reminds me of that bit from Role Models - "You white? You Ben Affleck"

haha ok i got you and totally agree. Another reason i love me some BP

Halfway through CJ Stroud‘s first season I started to think about Drew Brees a little bit in terms of ball placement comparisons. I’ve never looked at any of the players you listed and thought of Drew Brees in any way. By game three this year I was seeing the consistency in how quickly Julian was seeing, processing, reacting, releasing and placing the ball. That’s why Drew Breeze. And since Matt Patricia agrees, I feel fine about it.

My comparison is Jared Goff. Not as tall as Goff, but for the pocket sense and accuracy. Not the lack of melanin.

Who I was thinking of as well

 

[CMic]

I was going to compare him to a shorter, slower Terrelle Pryor with better accuracy and a quicker release. But now I know that’s a lazy comparison …

He reminds me of a young Milt Plum . Throwing the skinny post to Gary Collin’s=to Carnell Tate.

If we're comparing him to Buckeye greats, I think Johnny Utah is the closest comp

Just sayin'; Since we never actually saw Johnny Utah play: I'll say Shane Falco is the closest comp. They both are definitely winners and "want the ball when the game is on the line".....

[Jaxbuck]

I did.

To be fair...

I have thought the same about every single QB we've had since Greg Frey

What’s your beef with Greg Frey?

He had a killer visor.

Yeah, that "Robocop" look was pretty badass.
