He most definitely is and I agree 1000 %, but the light just needs to come on for the kid. When it does he will be a Heisman candidate because he can do it all. He has a cannon for an arm, but throws the ball with deft touch on it, and can run like a RB of course. But do not say he's another Jalen Hurts because Jalen Hurts can't throw the football, but this kid can. He won't start this season of course because he's still not ready, but once he is and is comfortable behind the center in playing big time college football the skies the limit. Ensminger should have him in an RPO, spread type of offense and let him rip it up.

I think it’s just s matter of getting on the field and regaining his confidence. Once he gets out there and makes some big plays and gets his mojo back, he’ll be unstoppable.

You’re right, Jalen Hurts is a running back and nothing more

atltiger6487•92 months

"You’re right, Jalen Hurts is a running back and nothing more" Hurts' college stats: 394-637 61.9% 4861 yards 7.6 ypa 40 / 10 TD/INT 143.5 rating I'd take those stats any day of the week.

And what else did he say? Most talented, but.....?

LuzianaFootball•92 months

Hard to argue with this statement. Is he ready to play this minute and display his talent? Remains to be seen, but once his mental game is ready I don't see the other QB's getting in his way. I do hope though that he continues to take it day by day to play when he is absolutely ready.

Great comment

Datbayoubengal•92 months

Yeah, he's definitely physically talented, but I'm looking for the mental aspects more importantly. Accuracy (especially in stride), reading defenses pre and post snap, going through progressions, being careful with the football, etc. If he can progress like that, then in 2 years, he'll start over Brennan. Nobody is starting over Burrow.

I agree , LSU has had QB’s in the past that had incredible arm talent and amazing 40’s but had no idea how to read a defense pre-snap !! Brandon Harris comes to mind , great arm strength, good foot speed , but he never figured it out , he was basically a punter on third down , drop back and throw it as far as you can and if it gets intercepted it’s better than a punt !!

TigerSpray•92 months

If he can get the snap from center.

Iam_PrinceAkeem•92 months

He hasn't seen Joe throw yet camp hasn't started yet

Burrow will start this season, no doubt about that because Narcisse ain't ready yet for big time college football.

atltiger6487•92 months

"Burrow will start this season, no doubt about that because Narcisse ain't ready yet for big time college football" ... correct - none of our 3 other QBs are anywhere near ready.

Yes anything to keep him from transferring....

Stupid comment

The O went on to correct himself "He's kinda talented... not the most talented."

im4LSU•92 months

Spoke with a current O lineman about 2 weeks ago and he said the same thing. When I asked him who he was going to be blocking for this fall, he said LN was a baller and has the ability to make things happen. Just gave him a lot of praise.

Smoothboy706•92 months

That was a great comment

sunnydaze•92 months

he should be ready to go as a RS JR

You can excuse me if I don't think Orgeron has a clue as to what he's talking about when it comes to quarterbacks.

You are excused

namvet6566•92 months

so you live your life in a negative way

Smoothboy706•92 months

Every time someone gives Lowell or Justin a good Compliment you all always got something negative to say just because of their race but if it was Brennan or BURROW YOU WOULD JUMP FOR JOY
