What makes people think this guy will even be a starter or get significant playing time this season? Serious question

Idk, maybe because he looks way better than anything LSU had at qb?. That's one reason.

Anyone with an open mind has gone from who the hell is this joe burrow OSU reject to gradually getting more excited with each inquiry. The tape, the accounts from coaches the fan base and others. The high school numbers. He may not pan out but JB is not a Purdue guy who lost the starting job. The upside to this kid could, repeat could be a game changer

Did you notice the 10-0 final score on the crawler at 1:16? Too bad Joe wasn't a Tiger this night.

Let it sink in that LSU now has the only QB from either the LSU or Ohio State spring game who completed over 50% of his passes. In fact, Burrow completed 68%. And he's only thrown 2 interceptions his entire football career.

None of our other QBs are accurate at all.

Even in mop up duty our QBs look bad. When's the last time you've seen an LSU QB put the ball right on the money throw after throw? Mett did it in 2013, but he couldn't do that in 2012. You're talking a RS freshman to a RS senior.

The next best part is that he can actually run, and actually does run. Not half assed running either. I've seen him drag guys in a spring game.

Quick release and right on the numbers. Pocket presence. Impressive. Now if we can just give him time in the pocket, I'm thinking he'll have those DB guys gassed quick.

Guy has the makings to be a Heisman contender this year. He will be the best QB in the West by week 3

Another reason is, Burrow transferred for one reason only: he wanted to start. It seems likely that Burrow would have transferred someplace else if the LSU coaching staff hadn't, at minimum, given him the impression that it was more likely than not that he would be the starter next season.

It's foreshadowing for when Burrow leads us to a victory over Alabama this year.




One can dream... that would be so fricking awesome though.

ETA: That poise and accuracy on the play at 2:36 was beautiful

"Every throw that he has made has hit the receiver right in the chest."

The fact that O’s job is on the line.

The fan base was not impressed by the 3 QBs from the spring game. Add to that the fact that the fan base is extremely impressed with Burrow and you get your answer.

If O starts a QB not named Joe Burrow and LSU loses, it’s his arse. Especially if he eventually plays Joe and the kid plays well.

If he plays Joe Burrow and the kid doesn’t live up to expectations then O can always go to plan B with one of the other 3 guys.
