How much offense can a transfer pick up in fall....

...practice, while obviously splitting time in a major way with the current qbs?
I'm sorry, I just see a complete shitshow trying to get a new guy up to speed with an offense that we've only implemented half way at this point. He wont be ready for game 1, thinking otherwise would be wrong.
I know everyone's Hope's would be raised for whatever reason, but he wont be a day 1 starter since he missed spring.we literally have around 20 practices before we tee it up against a strong team.

You don't think he could run an Ensminger offense with all summer to work?

How does any NFL rookie QB start day one?

Putting in Burrow as starting QB is kicking the can down the road.
Good in the short term, maybe, but at some point the coaching staff has to prove they can coach a QB in-house to perform well. There won't be a Mett or a Burrow every year.
If Burrow comes in and is better at running the LSU offense than any QB we have on the roster right now, we still have a problem in-house.

The way this program is run, they will probably just ask Burrow to tell them what he ran at OSU and they will go ahead and run that here.

This is retarded. Guys do this all the time. It's not like Ensminger's offense will be weird (like Canada's). I suspect a lot of the concepts will be the same as what OSU runs.

The guy will be learning to run a few football plays, not being asked to solve quadratic equations, jeez

The 3 QBs we have now have struggled learning only 35% of the offense and they’ve had all spring to learn it. To me that almost puts Burrow on equal footing with the others. It shouldn’t take that long to get him up to speed if he has the capacity to learn.

Other programs have true freshman, some of which are not early enrollees, come in and light it up all the time. It's not impossible, and he's more likely to pick it up quicker than a kid that played high school football last year.

If he's that much better than what we have then he can start day one. They will find a way to make it happen.

Good God our fan base is dumb. This guy would be a great asset to the team. Y'all need to chill out with all the gloom and doom. If they found a way to let Tom Brady play for LSU some of you would still be crying about Myles Brennans feelings. I swear if it was raining pussy some of you would find a way to get hit with a dick .

Brady has eligibility left?

He ran the RPO spread at OSU. He will be fine.

The offense is only 30 percent installed so it shouldn't take long to catch up.

I'd say a transfer RB or WR can pick it up quick, and all of it.
An OL or QB, slightly more difficult.
However, most of the leaning curve is in the jump to P5 from HS (even the best of them). So a transfer, having been in tOSU's offense, should be able to pick it up pretty quick.
The difficult part is getting used to your compatriots. We talk about it terms of "chemistry" (for QBs) and "gel" (with OL). Basically boils down to this- very few plays go as planned. Do you have a feel for your various RBs and will they cut back vs. seek contact and a couple extra yds (as an OL), for a QB does your WRs take plays off, love low balls across the middle, etc. That's where splitting reps comes in and the worry should lie. As an example I'll point to 2012 Mett/OBJ/Landry... it was horrible (by comparison); dropsies, errant passes (due to the WR not being at his spot), etc.
The communication can be completely different. However, very few teams just call "plays". It's a protection scheme + play call + formation combination. Once you figure out the method of communication the rest is memorization. Not a gimme to learn by any means, but isn't the most difficult thing in the world either. Especially with a lot of offseason to do it on the side.

Some of you act like a football playbook is the most difficult thing in the world. The hard part of playing college football is not learning a playbook because most playbooks are the same with different terminology. The concepts are the same.
The hard part is reading college defenses understanding the speed of the college game and learning how to be in college in general. All things that a transfer would have understanding of because he has been around a major program for a few of years.

The same 70% that our QBs have not been taught.
