Jason Whitlock compares 'full of himself' Joe Burrow to Josh Rosen, RG3
Josh Rosen, now a backup quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, has a 3-13 record in 16 NFL starts over parts of three seasons, with 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.
Robert Griffin III, now an NFL analyst for ESPN, had a 16-26 record in 42 NFL starts over parts of seven seasons. After his AP Offensive Rookie of the Year season with Washington in 2012 (3,200 passing yards, 20 touchdown passes, 5 INTs, in addition to 815 rushing yards and seven TDs), RG3 had 23 TD passes and 25 INTs.
Joe Burrow led the Cincinnati Bengals to Super Bowl 56 in his second NFL season, with a league-leading 70.4 percent completion percentage and 8.9 yards gained per pass attempt, with 34 TD passes and 14 interceptions after a rookie season cut short by injury that included 13 TD passes and five INTs in 10 games. He's got 537 passing yards with three TD passes and four INTs through two games this season.
"Fearless" podcast co-host Jason Whitlock tweeted Tuesday that Burrow is "chasing social media fame, and he's certainly full of himself," also comparing Burrow to a "high-class Josh Rosen" as well as RG3.
Fascinating. The more I think about this, Joe Burrow is sounding more and more like RG3... the football player, not the broadcaster. https://t.co/gvGwbbCaXn

Joe Burrow might be high-class Josh Rosen. Burrow is a bit woke, chasing social media fame, and he's certainly full of himself. I'm re-evaluating my Joe Burrow position. Stay tuned. TJ provoked an epiphany yesterday. https://t.co/bTOh68eysf

The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway wrote Monday that Burrow and the Bengals are searching for answers on offense.
