You don’t go from competing 56% of your passes & 16 TDS to 76% And SIXTY frickin tds because he “worked with the WRs” in the offseason lmao


Well that’s a stupid thing to say. Is there some kind of rule against this?

So you either come out throwing 76% and 60TDs or you can never do it? Players get better. Especially college QBs in the second year of experience with and offseason under their belt. Remember burrow came in right when camp started. There wasn’t a lot of time to learn and grow.

No one thinks the other coaches and players were not critical to the success this year. But only a fool would act like it would have happened without Brady.

That’s my point though.. please name the coaches and/or starters you think it would have happened without. Because that’s the implication of all of this Joe Brady frenzy - that he’s the only irreplaceable factor.

No matter what you think his role was in the offense, Coach O has said many times that they brought in Joe Brady to implement the offense. With that being said, it really shows how stupid those are that are shitting on Brady literally less than 24 hours after he helped this team win a national championship. Pathetic.

All you jackasses trying to belittle what he did this year just because he left for a huge promotion are just sad.




Let’s just shut the program down then. All hope is lost.

The thing that concerns me about Brady’s departure is the possible detailed instructions he may have taught the WRs that only he is keenly adept of recognizing. A few number of small things that add up to being unguardable. Planting foot. Hand placement. Route tempo. Details like that.

After the blowout win in the SEC championship Kirby was asked a number of questions about why they couldn’t stop us. He stated very clearly that they run a lot of the same plays that we run, we are just better at executing them because of our superior talent at WR and and unbelievable QB. He didn’t seem that impressed with the scheme. In fact at one point he mentioned that they knew exactly what we were doing but couldn’t stop it.

That’s because Joe Burrow was the difference.

When you have freak WRs and a do it all back there is always someone open. Burrow was surgical in finding that weakness as the play developed.

Relax about Brady. He isn’t some offensive savant that invented a new offense overnight that can’t be stopped. He simply has a modern offense with a generational talent at QB

Video compliments of Ree




This is a guy who doesn't want to admit he was outcoached.

That is all.

Burrow was 25-3 as a starter. We act like we sucked last year. We had a bad loss against Florida and the A&M game stolen.

We will be fine. Coach O has a spread offense now and will keep it.

Who is belittling anything? It was a simple question. Can people not have a discussion without you resorting to childish name calling? Which of those OCs were allowed to run a modern spread offense without meddling?

Burrow was great and the scheme was perfect. I don’t buy the idea that Smart or any other coaches knew what was coming. This wasn’t ground and pound 1995 Nebraska. LSU fooled a lot of defenses a lot of times. Guys flying wide open.

Now of course there were plenty plays that were well defended but still not stopped. Those were due to Burrows pinpoint accuracy and his confidence that his WR would win the battle against a DB.

fricking this. We had an 11 win season if not for some unbelievably miraculous series of events for A&M, and our offense was wide open that game.

If one man makes a program then we are waist of a shite ton of money on assistant coaches.

The sign of a good program is coaches moving on to bigger and better. Comes with the territory.

Damn right. I think O probably enjoys a fast offense now.

Maybe not, but it certainly helps that they stopped dropping passes

Why did they stop dropping passes? Because their coach challenged them to be better and developed a program to get results. Maybe another coach could have gotten similar results, but I know the guy we had here last year couldn't, and Brady could.

Y'all act like all this shite happens in a vacuum. All of those guys worked together and losing 2 of the most important pieces hurts. Brady might be easy to replace and he might not. But Burrow is irreplaceable and it sucks to have to replace him AND Brady.

I think we're going to be fine, ultimately, but you guys minimizing Brady's contributions this year are bat shite.

I think it’s the people who are trying to minimize what he did are the ones who really think he’s irreplaceable. It’s their coping mechanism.

That said he and Burrow were the 2 most important pieces this year. I don’t think that’s debatable

Do you have any idea of the scope of what LSU did on offense this year??

The offense & its concepts were completely different.

Yes burrow was great & the WRs will all play in the nfl. But none of what happened is possible without Brady


As great as burrow was you saw what he could do last year in E’s shitty offense. It’s pretty damn easy to draw parallels & compare what actually changed.

What if you are minimizing the actual talent at Brady and E’s disposal? There was no weakness on this offense. That is extremely rare in college.

I think you just need to relax and appreciate the moment. The future will work itself out. Will it be like this year? Chances are we will never see another season like this in our lifetimes. It was THAT special.

The program is healthier than its been in a while however so no need to panic. We just won the damn NC.

I disagree. I think Burrow could have put up similar numbers in a lot of different systems. Maybe not systems LSU has run in the past but systems being run by other modern offenses

What’s amazing is I don’t think the offense ran one trick play all year.

Well, it is damn sure your prerogative to freak out. Go for it man. I'm sure it will help the program.

I for one am not going to concern myself with shite I can't control. If I were going to freak out it would be because of losing Jeaux Burrow. But I know that won't help a hill of beans either.

There aren’t that many systems man lol.

I don’t see why people are trying to discredit Brady. It all started with him. I’m losing brain cells here
