re: Why the Joe Burrow hype from LSU fans.

Amen to that Brotha!

I always liked Joe and thought he was a solid player, but I didn't think there was any chance he'd be this good.

I'm just waiting for the Joe Brady post where I asked if that was a new person or Joe Burrow's new nickname (A LEGITIMATE QUESTION FWIW).

And now for some fun....

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

Joe Burrow in the red zone this season:
36-50 (72.0%)
305 yards
20 TD - 2nd most in the nation
0 Int
255.2 passer efficiency - 3rd best among QBs with 20+ attempts

He's a shite QB that couldn't even lead his team to score at home in his biggest game last season.

Poors had gameday there and everything.

---

Led LSU to the most points for an opponent in regulation in Byrant Denny Stadium... ever.

I like Joe, but you are full of shite but it doesn't even matter because everybody knows Tua will play in the nfl while Joe watches him on tv. Just like LSU players will watch Bama in the playoffs on tv, same as every other year. Coming soon the Bama "9" gifs.

---

Majority of current mock drafts have Joe Burrow going in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft.

Haven't seen any "9" gifs yet.

Why not a head to head comparison? Yea...no way to spin that truth.

Since he's embarrassed, I'll help him out. Tua 25/42 295 yds 2 td (also 1 rushing, LOL) 1 int 83.3 qbr Burrow 18/35 184 yds (LOL) 0 td 1 int 15.6 qbr

My my, how the turn tables

-Joe Burrow’s 79.5% completion percentage is the highest by any QB that attempted 25+ passes vs a Saban-led Alabama team

-Joe Burrow’s 31 completions are the most in Bryant Denny Stadium vs a Saban-led Alabama team

Except unlike A.J., he sucks.

---

By this time next year, it is likely Burrow will have more career NFL starts than A.J.

Burrow is an average QB. LSU can win games with him but will never win a championship of any kind.

TBD...

There are true freshman QB's who had better numbers than Burrow (a RS Jr at the time) and they enrolled around the same time or even later, so stop with the excuses

Looks like you fellas are using every analytic and excuse you can to make the guy look better than he is.

-There is only one FBS QB with more passing yards and passing TDs than Joe Burrow this year

-There are 0 FBS QBs with a higher completion percentage than Joe Burrow this year

No, our QBs know about winning, something your QBs know nothing about.

---

-As of today, Joe Burrow has 6 wins vs teams that either finished in the AP Top 25 or are currently in the AP Top 25. That is the most among ALL FBS QBs over the last two seasons... 2 more than the next best QB

He really reminds me of a tougher AJ Macarron who is not near as douchy

Not nearly as good either.

-In AJ McCarron's 40 starts as a QB, he had 5 games of 300+ yards passing... Joe Burrow has 9 in 22 starts

-In AJ McCarron's career as a starter, he had 9 TOTAL games where he completed 20+ passes... Joe Burrow is currently on a streak of 12 straight games with 20+ completions

Thumbs up, for the best bump
