Y'all, we could be super freaking explosive next season.

You have Brennan who's got the stronger arm compared to joe,that makes for some big plays, most likely.

You have the 3 headed rb monster. Think of what Emery will look like catching the ball out of the backfield, or split out e when we go 5 wide. if we can teach our young backs how to run we routes like ceh did. If it's Emery, that would make us even faster,top end, then we were at the rb position with ceh ,Emery is more of a homerum threat then the other 2 returning backs or even Clyde for that matter.

Then you go to Te, guys that don't follow recruiting, trust me, we have an absolute match-up, from day 1,nightmare .arik Gilbert was the player of the year in the whole country last year, as a te .he has been ranked higher then any other te in 247 ranking history.
He has highlights all over you tube. He's moss sized, at least, but way more athletic.

Now at receiver, you have the two returning starters. We could move chase to the slot and have racey take his old spot, or you just put the fastest guy you have in the slot, to take the top of the d.. Maybe that's boutte who killed it in the 200 the other day. If he's not ready, then put Trey Palmer there. You could also sub out the back when we go 5 wide and then we'd have our 5 receivers being; Marshall, chase ,Gilbert, Trey Palmer, and k boutte.

Tell me we won't be even faster next year?

The only real concern about Myles that I have is how is his accuracy on his deep ball. Not because he can't do it, but we just haven't seen it from him much. This is what made Burrow so deadly. MB just needs to realize the athletes he has on the outside and put it in a spot where they can make a play and they will more times than not. Other than that, I'm not worried about him. I think he'll do great.

We'll be young but there's a ton of talent there. I expect a 9 or 10 win season but if the offense can roll, that could be the floor.

People just can't expect to see what we did this past year, that was once in a lifetime.

My concern for next year is if esminger can call a game without Brady’s help. Red zone scoring and play selection was HUGE this yr

Vision, mental toughness, football IQ.

Myles May be good but Burrow is not replaceable.

I’ve said it before, Brennan will have more lethal play makers around him than Burrow. Where we’ll see a drop off will be on deep balls and the scramble plays. Burrow made ridiculous plays by moving in the pocket and/or scrambling to beat the rush and push the ball down field. It’s not an easy skill to learn. With a rebuilding O Line, that’s the only part that makes me a little nervous. Now, we’ll still be a top 10 offense either way, just may not be as explosive because of it.

E was always in control. Brady brought some experience in the scheme E wanted to implement. Brady also made it easy to communicate with the offense because he was a brother instead of a father figure.
Brady should have stayed. Payton told him he wasn’t ready when he left the Saints. E covered his arse this year. I’ll eat crow if he sets the NFL on fire but I do not expect this to happen
As far as next year, HELL YEAH, next man up. We comin again!!!! Geaux Tigers

Burrow made so many plays on his feet, avoided sacks and then completed passes... this is not very coachable. Brennan will get sacked 70% of those plays next year unless he can be mobile or knows where his dump off guy is.

Burrow was simply incredibly aware in the pocket. Brennan will prove that next year when the sacks start racking up.

Without burrow making special plays, as great as this team was, LSU loses 3 games this past year.

Look I hope you are right, but I think you are down playing what Brady brought to the table. If E was always in control then why didn’t we get at least a quarter of the offensive success last yr? I think O needs to bring in another pro spread mind to keep this rolling bc I don’t think E can do it on his own..

Hope I’m wrong

I think a lot of that can be coached, I saw a video earlier in the season of Joe working on foot work. Hopefully the coach that worked on Burrow on that is still around

You and the OP are both suffering from the same delusion Auburn fans had before the 2015 season. They finally had the QB who would lead them back to the promised land. And then...Jeremy Johnson took the field.



There is a chance Brennan will be good, but we won't know until we see him in action.

The key to next year is what’s happening in the off-season right now.

We had most every game won last year by July.

Folks need to get past the Brennan has a stronger arm so he can do things better argument. Arm Strength is more of a check box than anything. Does the QB has the arm strength to make all the throws? Yes/no. Does it really matter if he can throw the ball 75 yds as opposed to 65 yards??

What Brennan needs to show everyone is if he has the accuracy and especially the “touch” to play QB in this offense. Joe was deadly accurate and knew how to throw around/over defenders so well. Joe was so great at dropping dimes past the LBs and in front of the DBs.

He also needs to show he can navigate the pocket. Joe struggled with this his first year but improved through out the year. Imo this will definitely be a work in progress bc the only way you learn is by doing.

What I was most intrigued with Brennan from what I saw in mop up was his ability to run the ball. People tend to forget how important of a piece that was to Joe’s success. The fact that E could call Joe’s # and feel confident that he could more than get the job done was YUGE!!

That’s not what I’m talking about, Joe got better at on field awareness bc he worked on his footwork a lot in the offseason. He wasn’t doing that shite to that level last year..

So yeah better footwork can be coached

I just hope he works on the timing with the receivers enough to prepare.

Burrow’s best escapes won’t be repeated but other than about 5-7 of them, most were just having the sack to step up in the pocket.
