A few weeks ago, we answering the listener mail on the Sneaky Good Pod, and someone had asked where Joe Burrow ranks all-time among LSU quarterbacks. My instinct was to put him somewhere near the bottom of the top five.
Look, the arc of history is long, and we tend to overrate the present. Twitter constantly rants against nostalgia, but that’s not really society’s general issue: our problem tends to be the opposite, that we have no historical memory as we are constantly focused on the now.
But as we started talking about it, it became harder and harder to rate Burrow anywhere but at the top.
