Why the Joe Burrow hype from LSU fans.

I'm not hating, actually I really like the kid. He has moxy, very intelligent and doesn't run from competition.
Burrow had a 31% completion inside the redzone with 3 ints, last year. Ranked 124th in the nation...
Joe Burrow only completed 51% of his passes against the Top 5 defenses he faced last year.
Only 8 of his passing TDs came in SEC play, 6 of them were against 2 teams.... under 58% completion for the season, not one 300 yard game against a P5 team.
This not a hit piece on Joe Burrow's potential but was wondering why so much hype?

He got here like 6 weeks before fall camp started. He got thrown in the fire. His receivers dropped balls like it was contagious, especially early in the year. As the year went on, he got better and better. He's an Alpha competitor, basically the whole offense comes back, he can run and make all the throws. he has an absolutely STACKED receiver corps, and he finally will have an offense tailored around his skills. Get back to us with the skepticism in October and tell us your thoughts.

He was on campus for less than a month before the season started lol

Well for one, he beat UCF. More than another certain SEC west team can say...

Shiny hook. Won't bite tho

Is it hype or is it just a reasonable expectation that he'll improve with more time in the program and greater comfort level with his receivers?
He's a tough, smart kid who ended the year on a high point. Got here a month before the season last summer, was thrown into the fire as a first time starter, and ultimately did ok. Didn't set the world on fire or anything statistically, but he was generally solid.

No clue. He is a good Qb, but by no means a top tier guy. At least he wasn't last year.
Though to be fair...average QB play is so rare at LSU we can understand them being excited that a guy can actually run the offense
Trust me...we understand too. Our QB play since Tebow has been the same.

Burrow is one of the worst red zone passers in the history of college football

Everyone is expecting him to make the same jump Mettenberger made under similar circumstances.
1. Full year of SEC experience under the belt
2. Return top 3-4 receivers
3. Return most of an experienced oline
4. New coordinator to tailor to his skillset
Burrow is also a much better leader than Mett.
It's not crazy to think that he can throw for over 3,000 yards and 25 tds, which is a slight improvement over last year and a damn good year in the SEC.
Add in the rushing ability he possesses, and I honestly don't see how other fan bases don't understand our excitement. It seems pretty obvious that he is due for a really good year.

I think he plays hard and is a gamer. I also think he is more so a game manager at best, he is good but not exactly carry a team good

He's one tough mf'er. Not that you guys would know anything about having a tough qb.

Seems like the kind of guy that will get better after a year of experience, no?

Compared to their recent QBs he is great. They just don’t understand that their recent QBs suck and Burrow is average.

Half of those throws were against a&m in overtime.

It has everything to do with the changing of the offense. And not just the spread the ball / receivers in space coach speak that we hear and really doesn’t mean that much. You hear coordinators say this all across the country every season, and it doesn’t always happen.
It’s more about more high % throws that will not be coming from under center, which was a huge detriment to Burrow last year. The style of offense LSU ran last year was foreign to Burrow, but he made it work to an extent. This year it’s been said by someone else nearly every week that this offense is what Burrow is comfortable with and grew up playing in, not just in high school but his 3 years at Ohio State as well. I think this is the biggest reason for optimism with Burrow among others.
If we put it in order I’d say:
1. Burrow being more comfortable with this offense (not under center, RPO, etc)
2. Burrow’s comfortability with staff and team in general with over a year under his belt rather than 3 months
3. Talented, experienced WR group he will be throwing to with presumably higher % throws
This is what I think leads to the Burrow optimism. Will it pan out as well as LSU fans hope? Obviously remains to be seen, and probably not. But there’s a lot of reasons to be excited so don’t count it out completely.
