Would JD win the NC in 2019? Maybe, maybe not. That offense was so diverse and had more options. Clyde would have been less of a factor and the offense more predictable.

Would Burrow even win 9 games with this team? Unlikely. Without JD running it would have been a disaster.

You can win all the Heisman trophies you want, but without a National Championship, you have won nothing. Joe Burrow is the best player in LSU history! Smoke on that!

JD5 & Joe are both #1. And there's been many others that were awesome as well.

I agree! Burrow is the greatest QB to play football at LSU. Daniel’s is the greatest athlete to play football at LSU that just happened to be a QB.

Burrow is the best but I can honestly say that Daniels was the most fun to watch.

I will argue this until it is no longer posted. Jayden was great but he was outplayed by Jordan Travis and got blown out in week one. LSU had 17 points until garbage time of that game. He had a two score lead late in the fourth quarter in Oxford and couldn’t get one single first down to life it. He had two chances. You could also argue that Milroe outplayed him in Tuscaloosa but because of the Turner targeting call that wasn’t I don’t hold that one against him.

I loved watching him play and he shocked me with his development and improvement this year. He absolutely deserves to win the Heisman this season. But you don’t get to be mentioned with Burrow when Burrow had 3rd and 18 against Texas, the answers time after time against a much better Bama team led by Tua in Tuscaloosa, and the playoff performances.

If you talk FOOTBALL PLAYERS you would be wrong. These guys played multiple positions and did it excellently.!

Billy Cannon was Heisman nominated 2 years in a row and should have won. He kicked and played LB and returned and RB. He was a TE in the pros. Cannon was a Monster.

Tommy Casanova was a 3/3 time first team All American - he could have been AA at running back, DB, returner, and LB if they played him there.

Burrow has STEVE ENSMINGER and Joe Brady for OCs. He beat some elite defenses in UF, UGA, Clemson, Bama, Auburn to name a few. All top 20 and numbers 1, 2, 7…

Look at some of the defenses Burrow Shredded, though. UGA and Clemson were both top 5 defenses.

When you make statements like this, you are inviting people to criticize one or the other.

That does not feel true to me. JB was not only a great player, he left a mark on the culture of our athletic program. He taught every athlete in every sport to work your arse off then walk with swag.

I enjoyed watching Jayden get better and better. He was a game changer and a quality human being. JD may be one of the finest pure athletes we will ever see and his leadership style is strong but JB was, to me, the greatest athlete to ever wear the p&g.

Statistically Jayden Daniels was better than Joe Burrow in everything except completion percentage.

Stats are stats. And he played the 3rd hardest schedule in college football

Jerry Stovall, an All American on both sides of the ball, plus he returned kicks. Got seriously screwed in not winning the Heisman that year as a a flash in the pan QB from out west, Terry Baker, beat him out. A Joke. Tommy Casanova was also a multiple year All American, played both ways, & also returned kicks. Cannon gets no credit for playing both offense & defense throughout his career & after his famous punt return against the Johnny Rebs was in on the last 2 goal line tackles, 4 times from the 1 yard line. JD is great but there are several others who at least match his exploits.

And UCF had won something like 28 in a row. So Burrow beat two teams with long win streaks.

Billy Cannon was Herschel Walker before Herschel Walker. Few remember he was also an All-SEC defensive back. Lots of great players, but JD and the Honey Badger were both electric.

I really don't buy this statement about anyone, ever.

Every person is individually different from another. We may like them more than any other, but to just say they are the greatest to ever blah blah blah.... is a small way of thinking; in my opinion.
