But let's look at their numbers the past 2 years:

Lawrence: 6,452yds 64 TDs 12 INTs True Freshman and Sophomore years

Burrow: 7,609yds 64 TDs 11 INTs Redshirt Junior and Senior years


Added some context. Again, think Lawrence is better isn't outlandish.

Add some more context and show the defenses each faced as that will offset the class.

This is what the media does, stir the pot differently each day depending on what the agenda is, make things interesting/controversial, nothing new here. Burrow's body of work speaks for itself and NFL GM's see that.

Lawrence is "Proven"


No question - by most reasonable measures, Lawrence is a better QB than Burrow...... in 2018.




Newflash! It's 2019.

His statement yesterday was “no QB is playing better than Lawrence”

Not “Lawrence is more proven” or “Lawrence is more consistent” or “Lawrence is proven”

And there is NO argument he’s playing better than Joe. Who is absolutely on fire this year.

But yeah Dan, Lawrence is clear cut because he beat up on a shite schedule 2 years in a row. He's a great QB but he's looked absolutely pedestrian at times this year. See UNC


Joe has beaten 8 top 10 teams over the last 2 years, losing to 1 of them...

Clemson beat...2 top 10 teams (ND being 1 of them)...

It's a nice comparison, but that's because no one else is close, except for bit stats...like fewer INTs, or whatevs...
Joe beat the most competitive schedule with equivalent or BETTER stats in most cases

No. Feel free to do that if you want to.

I'm not the one sitting here yelling about a guy being an idiot for thinking a guy who is clearly one of the best QBs in the country might be better than another guy who is clearly one of the best QBs in the country.

I personally think Joe is better this year. But IT'S NOT OUTLANDISH TO LIKE LAWRENCE MORE.

Perhaps he is expressing an opinion that Lawrence will be a better pro. Perhaps.

But I would never bet against Joe.

The only argument here is that Lawrence has won a natty. You can dissect numbers this year all you want. Yeah Burrow is having a better year this year an will win the Heisman and possibly a natty. If one of these guys is better than the other, it is a slim slim margin. I don't think you'd go wrong with either. People are just emotional about this because its LSU's QB involved.


Yesterday Orlovsky said there's no QB in NCAA playing better than Lawrence. Burrow is about to win the Heisman by the widest voting margin ever so Spears response was appropriate. Now Orlovsky is talking about last year. So him winning a natty isn't the "only argument". He's jumping all over the place.

This is just an act to get people talking, sharing, commenting, posting etc and it works every time. It's nothing more but a marketing tactic.

This is all ESPN theater, nothing more.
Spears is taking on the LSU homer role.
Orlovsky was given the task of propping up Clemson and Lawrence.
It will play out all month.
Lawrence does seem to be playing really good down the stretch despite the teams he's going up against.
He struggled bad at beginning of year, championship hangover.
