Talk:Joe Burrow

Semi-protected edit request on 17 December 2019

I would suggest that this line below be removed from the current bowl games subsection within Career History, and instead put something similar to his "SEC Champion (2019)" listing under Career highlights and awards. The Big Ten Championship is a conference championship, and not a bowl game.

• Removed CCG from bowls. Not gonna add it to career highlights because he was not the starter and the section is too long as it is. Ostealthy (talk) 15:29, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

User: 2600:6C4A:7880:A4:79E4:D3CE:1CA7:E7D9 do you have a Reliable Source that confirms this? Ostealthy (talk) 02:13, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, good enough for me. Ostealthy (talk) 14:33, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Joe Burrow. Congratulations it is a well done page. If I may offer one suggestion?

The opening paragraph has a large problem. It reads “Burrow won the Heisman Trophy for the 2019 season. Before transferring to LSU, Burrow began his collegiate career at Ohio State.”

It makes many of the internet speed readers think Joe Burrow won his Heisman at Ohio State.

My suggestion: Burrow began his collegiate career at Ohio State before transferring to LSU where he worked with their coaches to evolve into a premier record setting quarterback. Burrow won the Heisman trophy his second and final year at LSU. Cnoteriot (talk) 16:35, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Cnoteriot, I don't think there's much opportunity for confusion as the article is currently written. Your suggestion also uses an unencyclopedic tone. Ostealthy (talk) 04:10, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Does "In 2019, his second and final season with LSU" not make it clear? ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:34, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

@Dissident93: the revision at the time of his comment did not include that phrase. Ostealthy (talk) 22:12, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

I agree the opening paragraph is worded awkwardly. Cam Newton's page is much better, reading: After starting his college football career as a backup to Tim Tebow at Florida, Newton transferred to Blinn College. He then joined Auburn, where he won the BCS National Championship and Heisman Trophy in 2010. I'm going to edit it to read something closer to that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcarne7 (talk • contribs) 23:28, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Did you not check the source? Birthplace is not the same as hometown. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 00:12, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Add Lists of..

Consider addending the following to the main article:

See also

• List of NCAA Division I FBS career passing yards leaders
• List of NCAA Division I FBS career passing touchdowns leaders
• List of NCAA major college football yearly passing leaders
• List of NCAA major college football yearly total offense leaders

Since he had one of the greatest seasons in FBS history, it might be noteworthy to see where he ranks.72.174.71.134 (talk) 01:37, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

• These should be added into the article as prose instead, assuming they aren't already there. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 03:18, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

I'll take a look at this. My review should be complete sometime within the next 7 days.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 21:47, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Lead

• lead looks good.

Early years

• "The elder Burrow, whose last coaching position was defensive coordinator for the Ohio Bobcats for more than a decade, retired after the 2018 season in part to be able to see all of Joe's games in his final college season.": personally, this sentence might a little bit out of scope. (3b)
• "One day while visiting the office": unclear what "the office" is referring to. (1a)
• "the seven year old had a future": might be better to say "the seven year old Burrow had a future" (1a)
• "Jimmy Burrow": try to keep it consistent. either Jim Burrow or Jimmy Burrow, but not both. (1a)
  • Done. Lucky7jrk (talk) 15:16, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

College career

• looks good

Professional career

• "Burrow was one of 58 players invited to the draft, which was held virtually due to social distancing regulations arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, where he was selected first overall by the Cincinnati Bengals." The "which was held virtually...pandemic" part isn't necessary in my opinion. And I would specify which draft. (1a/3b)
• "He became the first rookie n NFL history": fix minor typo (1a)
• Statistics table: instead of making "Career" an external link, just cite it in the same style as the College statistics table. In other words, make it a proper citation. (2b)
  • Done. Lucky7jrk (talk) 15:20, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Joe played in 17 games in 2021, not 16. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthchri (talk • contribs) 16:55, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Ok, my review is done. I'll place this on hold for the standard 7 days.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 04:40, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Your changes look good. The article passes all the criteria now.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 06:13, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Birth accuracy

Research his father's coaching history. According to wiki, his father was coaching at Ames High School when Joe was born. So which is correct, Joe's wiki or Jim's? 2604:2D80:6E81:3400:202A:315C:ACD2:53FA (talk) 21:26, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
