re: SBNation Article - Is Joe Burrow Good?

I'll keep saying that Burrow is going to surprise a lot of people. LSU fans have QB shell-shock from the past 10 years. When they see a low completion %, they (understandably) assume the worst. But make no mistake, Burrow is an accurate QB who will make the big throws. The majority of his incompletions thus far have been drops, intentional throwaways, and tipped/disrupted passes.

Burrow has 3 starts, less than 50 snaps in live game action at OSU in trash time blow outs, and has been participating in organized practice with LSU for a month and half.

He is just learning to be in sink (chemistry not fully established yet) with the 8 receivers he is starting with and the full playbook is still being input into the offense.

Offensive line is just starting to jell. We have had 3 different Right Tackles play in three games and the starting LT was suspended for game 2. OL play will get even better.

We haven't seen Burrow's or this offense's full potential yet. Percentage of completions and TDs will start going up soon.
