“You throw like a girl”: Joe Burrow reveals that Urban Meyer once passed a ‘sexist’ comment on his playing ability
Joe Burrow and Urban Meyer
When Urban Meyer was being roped into the NFL as a head coach by the Jaguars, a lot of people were unsure about how he’ll perform. Not to anyone’s surprise, he was fired as soon as he got himself involved in a number of massive controversies during his stint.
Meyer was the Jaguars’ head coach for 13 games and his team had a record of 2-11 by the time he was done with them. A while back, Urban Meyer was seen at a bar dancing with a woman who wasn’t his wife. After that, reports of Meyer kicking Josh Lambo surfaced. After that, a report by ‘The Athletic’ showed just how bad Urban Meyer was and how toxic the environment in Jacksonville truly was and after that, Meyer claimed he had no idea who Aaron Donald was.

“He got the best out of me”: Joe Burrow on Urban Meyer
As if all this wasn’t enough, recently, Bengals star QB Joe Burrow also revealed a few things about Urban’s behavior. Joe appeared on the Full Send Podcast and gave his viewpoint on a variety of topics. Talking about Meyer, he said, “he’s the kind of guy that when a new guy gets there, he’s going to put them in the fire and see how he responds.”
“My first couple years, he really stands right behind the quarterback. And if you make a bad throw, he’s gonna let you know it. Some guys can handle it, some guys can’t. And once you get through that, and he realizes, ‘Oh, this guy’s tough guy, good player works hard.’ And then the relationship kind of switches to no more of a friend than a hard coach on you.”
“So, you know, he got the best out of me, that’s for sure,” Burrow stated praising Meyer. However, he then went on to claim that Meyer once told him that he threw like a girl. “He told me I threw like a girl one time,” Joe claimed.
It won’t be wrong to say that Meyer has already been involved in so much drama and controversy and although Burrow didn’t seem mad at him, such revelations aren’t going to help the former Jaguars coach in the future.
