I contest that Burrow was not hosed at tOSU. He just got beat out and processed.

Went back and looked at the games from last year.
So much was said about him being hurt and falling behind and blah blah.
The game logs do not really support that claim.
J.T. Barrett makes all of the passing attempts in the first 2 games.
In Game 3, Haskins makes 4 passes against Army.
By Game 4, Burrow is playing again. So Haskins had a grand total of 4 pass attempts where Burrow was not available.
The big shift is here in Game 4 against UNLV. Both guys are healthy and eligible to play. Haskins gets 23 attempts where Burrow only gets 4.
For the rest of the season, you see that the pecking order has been decided. Haskins gets 6 attempts to Burrow's 2 attempts the next week vs. Rutgers.
The next week, Haskins gets mop of duty and Burrow doesnt play against Maryland.
It is here that you can see in the stats that Burrow has checked out. He goes 1/3 against Nebraska, gets passed over for mop up duty against Michigan St., and finishes tOSU career with 0/2 against Illinois.
In short, Urban Meyer is full of crap. Burrow was buried on the depth chart at #3, and leaving opened him up another scholarship.

I feel like your game by game analysis pretty much supports this:

Are we talking about 2017 or 2018?

Burrow had all the experience as the backup in 2016
Haskins appears to have only got to play in one game that Burrow was not healthy to play.
In no way would 4 pass attempts against Army catapult him over the known commodity, unless Haskins was just considered that much better.

2017 post injury, the pecking order was decided by his thumb.
2018 he looked better than Haskins in spring but the 2017 Michigan win cemented Haskins.

Do you not think the time and reps he missed in the offseason hurt his position on the depth chart??
Do you think Haskins didn’t do anything except those 4 passes to be ahead of him??
Look, I won’t even argue that Burrow wasn’t just beat out and couldn’t pass Haskins. But, all indications are that Haskins is a really fricking good QB.
Doesn’t mean Burrow isn’t also very good in his own right and way better than anything else we had on the roster already.
Jacob Eason got hurt, and lost his position to Fromm. Obviously Eason is still very good and Washington, a National title contender, is happy to have him on board going forward.
Burrow is a game changer for us even if he isn’t a Heisman contender. He just has to be better than McMillan, Brennen, and Narcisse and I’d bet good money he will be that and much more.

so 6/7 for 94 yards wins a major QB job?
reminds me of Anthony Jennings winning LSU job because of long bomb he threw in Arkansas game.

this is certainly the fan narrative...but look if it were REALLY that close, Urbs being the snake that he is would have sold Burrows a bill of shite convincing him to stay, much like he did a few years back when he convinced all 3 of those QBs to return.
is Burrows an upgrade over what we have? I would assume, yes. Truly the 1a at OSU as some believe? I don't think.

I think burrow will be good at LSU. I worry fans are putting to high of expectations on him.
