Social media reacts to CBS Sports' broadcast comparing Joe Burrow to Tom Brady
Late in the third quarter against Auburn, CBS Sports broadcaster Gary Danielson said that colleague Rick Neuheisel compared Joe Burrow to Tom Brady.
Following a Burrow scramble that gave LSU a first down, Danielson explained the comparison of the LSU quarterback to the legendary Patriots quarterback.
Burrow is 31-of-39 for 314 yards and one passing touchdown, and he’s certainly having a huge year. Burrow does have a little Brady in him, and he is a better athlete than Brady was/is. However, championships, man.
Burrow has a chance to win a championship this year, too.
Social media reacted to the comparison:
Oh, and we've reached the point of the broadcast with Joe Burrow / Tom Brady comparisons.

Comparing Joe Burrow to Tom Brady is so ridiculous, but the more I watch the more I can’t help but agree. #LSUvsAUB

Actually I see him more as a Joe Montana type QB. Primarily for his absolute calmness. He doesn’t get shook. I noticed it last year. Everyone seems surprised at his play this year. I’m not. It was evident last season. People forget, he ran for his life a lot last year and threw the ball away at least 3-4 times a game. Then you could count on 2-3 drops by his receivers every game. New to the team and new to an offensive scheme that didn’t reflect his skill set. And he still led them to 10 wins. I’d take him over Tua any time.
Burrow does have the calmness of Montana and the comparison to Brady is that he is very cerebral like Brady and TRULY understands the game to make solid decisions on the fly.
He is Peyton Manning incarnate
