What matters is we convert on 3rd and 4th downs. That is so big.
Our defense is legit. If he makes a big play here and there, like he did last night, we will be tough to beat

The hell it is. That’s just nonsense.

Burrow’s completion percentage needs to get to at least 60% if we want to make some post season noise.

it wouldve been 60% today if not for auburn getting away with murder the entire game on our WRs. i was honestly shocked when they threw the flag that put us in field goal range.

there was a more blatant PI the play before

It will be. He needs to be better in that area in the big games left in the schedule.

You are dumb

Too many of his throws are innacurate.

3 games in and he hasnt hit 50%. That will be a huge problem. It's not terrible decisions, it's simply the ball not being placed where his guy can get it.

I think hes settling in, but his % has to be improved

Agreed if you pass for 250 against a defense like Auburn, good things will happen

Burrow threw a lot of low percentage throws down the field yesterday.

Would you want him throwing swing passes, hitches and wide receiver screens so he can have a high percentage?

I’m not worried about it. He’s a QB with three starts who just played his first SEC road game. He will get better. The receivers will, too.

I fully expect to see Burrows completion percentage to begin to climb every week as he gets more comfortable out there. If Danny Etling can complete 60% of his passes I fully expect Burrow to.

He said himself that he missed some throws in the first half. In the second half, I felt like Auburn was holding our receivers on damn near every pass. They could have called PI a lot more.

WR's and Burrow still don't have 100% faith in each other yet, so it's a process. I think they are getting there.

People forget that he has still only been on campus and working with our WRs and OL for a few months.


His percentage will go up as he continues to build timing with them.


It’s all the other things he does so well that is the most important thing right now.

At no point in any game have I felt like he wasn’t in complete command of what the offense was trying to do and what he needed to do to protect the ball and put us in a good position to win the game.

His % should get better as time goes on. He did not have a great day accuracy wise Saturday.

Dumbest post I’ve seen in quite a while and that’s really saying something.

His completion percentage isn’t good, but his clutch completion percentage is through the roof

I’m very well aware of that genius.

But “I fully expect Burrow completion percentage” isn’t exactly right grammatically is it?

Play calling and design would help with this a lot.
