Burrow's Stats Should Improve a Lot
Posted on 9/18/18 at 9:38 pm
Posted on 9/18/18 at 9:38 pm
As an OSU fan and fan of Burrow, I was a little bit surprised that his percentage of completions was not better. When he played at OSU (not that often), he was very accurate. In fact, he is a much better passer than J T Barrett, who always had a percentage of completions higher than 60%. (stats partially padded by jet sweeps, which were technically passes)
Then I came upon an interview with Rohan Davey, who said that Burrow would only know 25 plays in the first game because the offense was so complicated and he was required to understand the complicated routes of all of the receivers. So, not having a complete grasp of the offense and still getting used to the receivers, I am sure Burrow has been a bit hesitant to pull the trigger.
When Burrow's grasp of the offense increases and when he has more experience with the receivers, his true accuracy should become apparent. Also, of course, the offensive line has to give him time. (which it did during the Auburn game)

Good assessment. I also think that his misses are thrown to spots where they won't be intercepted. It's obvious that the coaches have put a premium on not turning the ball over so coupled with what you said are instructions to miss to the spot where you won't get picked.
ETA: He has only squeezed a few. The Dillon TD and the Jefferson missed 2pt come to mind. I may be wrong on those due to drinks.

We’re not worried about it at all. If you watch the games he’s been very good with the ball. Drops and throwaways (very smart throwaways) have hurt his %
Auburn was his least accurate game but he’s well on his way.
We love Joe.

I am so grateful Burrow found his way down to LSU. Says alot about his character and the type of man and QB he is with this much respect for him from his native Buckeye State. I am blown away.

My favorite stat is 4TDs (1 rushing) to 0 INTs or lost fumbles.

It’s the difference of offenses

Great Rohan interview. Just shows ya that it takes a lot of time and work to really get settled in. He also went against two defenses loaded with NFL talent and a young Oline. Not to mention his Wr group was fairly unproven. These next 3 games will go a long way to getting Joe more comfortable with the offense and his Oline. Not gimmies either so if he can lead the tigers to 6-0 before UGA, he is gonna be soaring with confidence

If Burrow can get in the 60% completion rate, there isn’t a team out there that can even remotely come close to stopping this one except for possibly Bama and that game should be a very bloody battle.

I do not agree with this. Sure adjusting to offense could cause some sort of misread, etc.
But once he decides to throw, his throws haven't been on target. Maybe it's late reads. I don't know.
I do know OSU realized some issues existed and that kept him off the field.
I hope they are corrected. His average cannot stay below. 500. At some point the defense will need him to give them rest.

re; the auburn game, many of the incompletions were deep balls where the WR was pretty much blanketed. Needs to make better choices there and the throws will get easier.
WR also need to get more separation.

If LSU continues to run the offense shown in first half of Miami and whole game of Auburn, his stats will start to climb, I'm not worried about stats though. He's made the plays when needed. New Offense and New QB will start to find their groove.
If offense can better the 3rd down % and cut down penalties they can really start doing damage.

Very True...I'm surprised he's played as well as he has..he's doing this without benefit of Spring ball..Give him time and sky is the limit..

Let’s just get him over 50% so we can stop hearing about it.
