Underwhelming stats through four games...

You will be downvoted but you have a point. I wonder if he plays in a run dominated offense, shitty WR’s or plays against great defenses. I love the kid’s size and bloodline. I would expect higher numbers at this point in the season.

He looked to be under pressure a lot and still zinged some off balance bullets. But, I have no idea. His running reminded me a bit of Matt Jones (Ark)

How has no one made him hold the ball higher? He holds it way too low.

His timing passes look legit. That is the one area most HS QB's struggle with the most. IMHO

He throws better off the platform than on it. Unorthodox, but hits 'em quick once he spots em. (Hope nobody screws with his unique mechanics - like they did with Tebow) Love the pump fakes. Very Unitas-like in moving the DBs with the pump fakes. Has wheels for a tall guy.

Apparently his team is horrible and his receivers can't catch for their lives.

LSU doesn't need 4 star qbs. They need 5 star #1 in the class world beaters.

This is a ridiculous comment. Burrow was a 4 star. So we’re Flynn and Davey.

Thought he looked ok. Decent wheels, good size. Worth a chance.

He does appear to throw off of his back leg a lot, but he’s getting the ball there in a hurry!

I heard Shea Dixon on the radio today saying his team is absolute dog shite and his receivers drop balls (look at how many plays cut off just before the ball gets to the receiver on accurate deep throws)

Gonna be good once they fix those mechanics.

Lsu should be getting attention from every 5 star pro style QB that comes out of high school across the country.

Isn't he Brad Johnson's son? Fix those mechanics dad. Other than that he looks big, fast and mobile
