Buren Jr., a sophomore from Bowie, Md., played in seven games with four starts this season. He passed for 1010 yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions.

DV me to hell, but ima tell yall now, if he stays and develops under LK for 2 more years, he could be the next Jayden. Bookmark this.

He has a lot of work to do to be a starter at a big program. Several of those sacks were on him not reading the defense and making sure he had protection. His arm strength is average at best.

He needs coaching. Clearly he lacked that here.

I believe our entire line is in the portal now. GOOD!!! They are horrible.

He has actually improved since his first start this season. Both in throwing and running outside the pocket.

Who knows what he can do with an OL and run game, but at the same time, even if he isn’t a starter, it makes your play for a stud portal QB a little easier bc you’d have a backup and might be able to pay more for the portal guy.

Someone explain to me where do all these offensive line guys think they are going to? They are hot dog S$&@ and are trying to get a payday ?

If LK can do what he did with Chambliss, there is always
a possibility of him developing. Ultimately it comes down to
MVB’s ability to read a defense as to how good he can be.

With no O line to speak of, no running game, the defense pretty much knew what was coming and yet MVB passed for 267 yds, 3 tds and no interception. He had more passing yards than Weizmann, the MVP of the game. What an improvement for him. Not saying he will be the one but he deserves kudos for his performance. So some of y’all need to stop badmouthing him.

He doesn’t throw well. That isn’t an offensive line issue.

This is something elite coaching fixes.

If he’s the starter, better prepare for 8-4 at best.

He can’t throw a pass to wide open WRs…..maybe 3rd string at best not QB1 and not a QB2

He won’t feel that way when a transfer with experience comes in. That said, MVB looked much better using his legs and arm last night so I hope we can keep him as the #2 QB but he will find a starting job at a group of 5 team.

Would like to have him back - Kiffin might work wonders with him

Under LK with a competent oline, MVB might be something far better than what we’ve seen.

Not giving up on him yet.

He's had frickin' Joe sloan mentoring him. Give him a spring ball under CLK and let's see what he can do.

He would sit the bench, he is gone once LK gets his guy. Thanks MVB but no thanks.

Third string maybe he's one of the worst QBs ever to start for LSU

MVB started pretty well and regressed the longer he was actually coached by this retarded staff. I'm not giving up on him yet

He's not a starter, but I wouldn't mind keeping him as a backup.

We don’t know what he is. This OL is so awful, we can’t tell what any QB can do from what we see in games.

We've seen him miss on deep balls when not being harassed. Can he get better? Possibly.

But you can't realistically say we don't know some things.
