Any LSU fans pumping the brakes on the Burrow hype?

Dudes obviously got talent... but it’s very difficult for anyone to come in 3 months before fall camp and play at an elite level. nick marshall did it, but had a ton of playing time in JUCO... and it took him a few games to get things clicking.
Just curious for some realistic expectations for his level of play this season...

Did yall pump the brakes on Stidham last year? We know we aren't winning the natty this year but we really think that 2019 could be special with him.

Stidham for Heisman 2017.

Stidham enrolled in January and had some legit playing experience against real FBS competition at Baylor (not mop up time against UNLV and Rutgers)... and even with that, JS took a few games to get acclimated to the offense and the competition.

Better than the QB that would have played had he not come to LSU
eta. One thing about Burrow that gives me more hope than otherwise is the kid is super smart and polished, so I feel that will ease the short transition process for him.

He’s had limited playtime. While super happy, I don’t want to ride the over-hype train just yet. We’re still unknown at RB so we may have to rely on Burrow a lot so I hope he’s as good as the hype.

Burrow is better than Stidham so we don't have to worry about that.

I think most successful transfer QBs have either sat a year or played JUCO, or they were a starter at their previous school. My expectations for him are pretty low, especially for this year. He’s certainly not worthy of elevating us into any kind of preseason championship discussion

Anyone who thinks they know how good Burrow will be is an idiot. He may be great, he may suck or he may be somewhere in between.
Burrow gives LSU another quarterback option, and that represents some hope. But no one knows if Ensminger can put together a productive offense that puts up points in big games. Ensminger's game plans produced prolific offensive numbers in five regular-season games and a bowl game in 2016 when he was offensive coordinator. They also produced a total of 10 points in LSU's two biggest regular-season games in 2016. LSU has legit questions across the board on offense (despite the hype that LSU is stacked at WR).
Says the Moo State fan. Moo State fans are convinced they're winning the SEC now that they have Penn State's offensive coordinator.

I don't think it is a bad thing that he chose LSU, but Im afraid it will give coach O a longer leash. I believe LSU will win nine games and stay in mediocrity which will gain coach o at least two more years.

Pump the brakes.

I haven't hit the gas.
Burrow is a great addition. I'm not worried about the kid's talent.
LSU had QBs for the past 10 years. The problem is they were not coached up to be good college QBS. I mean LSU QBs werent throwing for 200 ypg for the longest time. That's not a talent issue. You don't have to have the talent of Cam Newton to even crack being a good college QB.
I want to see what this staff can do with his talent.

Yes we as a fan base have lowered our expectations and are resigned to allow the amassing of talent to overcome the serious lack of coaching. This will be similar to 2011 when the talent overcame Miles ability to coach. The goal post have been moved from continuing to compete to wait till 2019 and we will out talent our lack of coaching.

We still have coach o. I have my hopes and doubts.

I’m honestly very confused. I’ve been traveling and signed on to this site after a few days to see tons of LSU fans freaking out over this, accusing everyone of fear. I’ve never heard of this cat but from my quick research I see he couldn’t win a starting job at OSU? Is that pretty much it? What am I missing?
