We have said for years that we just need "a" passing game, not necessarily a great one.

Watching Burrow, it doesn’t “feel” like he’s inaccurate ... to the contrary, it feels like he’s making the plays that need to be made. The final completion % really kind of leaves you scratching your head.
My initial reaction is that he made a lot of low % catch throws (not bad throws, just possible explosive plays that are difficult to hit on). Go routes, deep throws, fades, etc. Maybe some misses on slants (either drops/bat downs/slightly off).

If it wasn’t for Bama fans continuously keeping everyone updated on Joey B’s stats, I would have no idea what his completion percentage was.
Hell yea brah!

To me this proves one thing, it's more important to make plays in critical situations and protect the football than have great stats. For the most part Burrow has done that.

David figured out the easy way to prove he is an amateur analyst....point to completion % as a key statistic for QB success.

It's all about how LSU lines up. They don't put a lot of WRs into the pattern so the ones that are out there are bracketed.
It leads to lower completion %s but to Burrow's credit, HE'S NOT MAKING MISTAKES AND TURNING THE BALL OVER.
Let the kid have ugly numbers but he's winning and he's not putting the defense in bad spots.

Can you imagine when he gets that % rate up close to 60 or over?
I was thinking more along the lines of... Can you imagine when he has a full season, spring season and a summer to work with the offense for the 2019 season with all the talent he has to work with?

Agree - they are comfortable with him taking shots in max protect type situations. That gives him a lot fewer easy throws. And, to his credit, he has not made mistakes in situations where it would be easy to want to force the ball in there.

The dude puts the ball where it needs to be in big time situations....sure, we would all love a 60 percent or higher. I'd much rather him hit the 3rd and 4th down throws he hit on Saturday then worry about %. It will come with time.

He's 3-0 with 2 wins over top 10 teams and has yet to turn the ball over,all that matters
I can’t help but to be a little amused at how this metric changes based on who it supports.
Bama starts 2017 with a win over number 3 but FSU wasn’t any good. Where were they ranked at the end of the year ya dumb gumps.
Meanwhile, in 2018, #21 Miami is still a top 10 team.
Say it with me. Miami is not a top 10 team. LSU handled them with ease. They can only beat the teams they’re matched up with. We should go ahead and drop the “top 10 win” narrative though because they aren’t a top ten team. Auburn is still a top 10 team, so LSU and Auburn still have the most impressive wins in the league of the criteria is “who did you beat to date”
For reference, A&M and Miami are ranked next to each other today. I doubt the narrative will change in Baton Rouge if they come into Tuscaloosa and get thumped on Saturday

Fitz is hitting 40% vs power 5. Just putting that out there.

Burrow is a horrible QB. Literally no reason to think otherwise right now.

The stats v. eye test just shows me that the scheme isn’t very QB friendly still.
He definitely can and must improve his completion percentage, but I think it is a bit unreasonable to expect 60+ with what they’re running and the throws he is making.
He starts putting up those numbers, and LSU is going to be blowing people’s doors off.

3-0, no turnovers. Making the throws down the stretch = horrible. Noted
Just wait until we get an "average" QB!!!

You haven't watched him play. A ton of throw aways and drops. Against Auburn most of his incompletions were 15+ yards downfield. He also had 3 balls batted down although 1 was likely an incompletion anyway.
