2019 offensive player analysis by position: better or worse than 2018

Quarterback: Well this is an easy call. LSU will be better at qb in 2019. Burrow returns with a year in the system. The depth will be better as well with Brennan entering his third camp and freshman Peter picked a pair of pickled Parrish on the roster.

Running back: Brosette was such a pleasant surprise last year, losing his toughness and experience hurts. But talent wise and overall depth wise, we will be better at running back. It’s a position where freshman often contribute and LSU has two good ones in Emery and Davis. Curry wasn’t quite ready for SEC prime time last year. He should be somewhat better. And then Edwards Helaire comes back, a very solid third down back.

Tight end: You never know, but I don’t see a starter as versatile as Foster Moreau on the 2019 roster. Moss is an unknown still. There should be more depth this year at tight end, but it would be hard to say 2019 is better than 2018.

Offensive line: The offensive line LSU returns in 2019 should be more experienced and have more quality depth than 2018. Most everyone is back. This group needs to be more consistent than last year. Alabama loses two all Americans on their defensive line, so hopefully we will not see the mismatch from last year when Bama dominated LSUs offensive line.

Wide receiver: LSU should be much better in 2019 than 2018 at wideout. Just about everyone comes back. We had very little experience in 2018. Justin Jefferson was the big surprise last year, out performing a lot of higher ranked recruits. Marshall and Chase will play in the NFL at some point. They will have greatly benefitted from their playing experience last year and an extra year in the weight room. We have probably more talent att wide out than any other position.


Summary: Well I am trying to be objective and not a homer here. But for tight end, I see LSU being better in 2019 than in 2018 at every other offensive position. Am I wrong?
