Regardless of what happens the rest of the season.

Btw, don't hate that I went to USC. I am from Louisiana.

I enjoy this team, and they are the best in the country this year.

He might already be, regardless of the outcome.

If he wins the Heisman for sure. Still have more than just the bama game to go down at the best. Rohan holds that title for now.

Is Joe beating Bama and winning the Heisman better than Billy Cannon beating Ole Miss and winning the Heisman?

I think he will need to win the SEC at least to make it a consensus. He will have most of the records by then. Of course, win the playoff and it will elevate him further even outside of LSU.

Best season absolutly,best in history goes to jones or Tittle. He wins heisman and Natty. He may become the best alltime. Still games to play out that title.

Already is. His professional career will make it a no-brain answer for people outside of LSU fandom. I love Hodson, Ro, and heard non-stop stories in my youth about Jones who played high school with my best friends dad. What is going on right now is ridiculous. Transfer/offense change/ historical statistical success, this is movie script stuff.

Burrow is a very very good QB, and this offense is one he grew up playing. It's been a great combination of Burrow, Brady and SE. And statistically speaking, regardless of the bama outcome, Burrow will go down as the best QB in LZSU history in a season. To say he is overall the best, IDK, there have been some very good QB's to play at LSU. Who can honestly say what Y.A. Tittle would do in this offense today. He could throw the ball with as much accuracy and zip as Burrow, hell, Y.A' is a NFL HOF QB. Bert Jones, who can honestly say if he'd have stats as good or better than Burrow. Hodson was the best drop back passer I have ever seen at LSU. Kid had nerves of steel in the pocket. He didn't have as strong a arm as Burrow, Tittle or Jones, but he had great accuracy and iron nuts. And then there is Rohan, Jamarcus, Flynn, I mean those were some very good QB's. Stats don't always tell the entire story of just how good a QB is. If they did, Jason White would be an NFL HOFer. I will say this though, beating bama and winning the SEC will go a long way in how Burrow's career is viewed by people. Winning the NC will go even further. And I'm sure in some eyes he will be considered the best QB in LSU history. Lets see how he does in championship games first though. Because there's been others before that played in those games and they did very well.

Joe Burrow is already the greatest QB in LSU history and if you don't know that by now, you are severely delusional.

He's going to have all the records so he will go down as the best "passer" for sure, but you need hardware to be the best ever. Comparable to Marino.

Hell no! What if he throws 10 interceptions causing us to lose a couple of games?

If Burrow continues playing as he has, regardless of the Bama outcome, he's the best in the modern era - say, 1980 onwards. It's just impossible to compare him to a guy like Bert Jones. You guys who never saw Jones play just have no idea what an amazing QB he was. He was far more talented than Burrow, but back then they didn't run complex offenses that had tons of reads. It was pretty much the Al Davis/Les Miles offense of punch your back up the gut, until they're leaning forward, then play action over their heads. But Bert Jones was a top tier NFL talent.

I've never seen a better QB at LSU

Mettenberger had more arm talent, but he wasn't nearly as good as Burrow

I don't remember much about Bert Jones...he had the best NFL career of any LSU QB that I can think of...

so is Burrow better than Jones?

No, only a Heisman or NC can cement that.
It's just Bama.

I think he already is.

But if he defeats the Tide tomorrow, then without question.
