This comparison is stupid..

1. Burrow- Burrow's first year, he was pretty damn good. the second year, he was fantastic.... but the difference had a lot to do with scheme. Joe Brady came in and innovated the offense.
This is not meant to take away from burrow's greatness. Rather, to say that if we had Joe Brady a year earlier, Burrow's 1st year at LSU would have been better than it was.
Burrow was technically sound his first season on campus. Leavitt is not.
Also, Chase, Jefferson, and Moss aren't about to come walking in to this offense suddenly.


2. Daniels- JD was scared to throw his first season at LSU. He ran well, but was scared to make a mistake.
When he did throw, he was accurate.


Leavitt's mechanics are all over the place. He is does not read the D well, or see open receivers. When he throws he is very inaccurate so far.
Leavitt has not, proven to be anywhere close to the level of 1st year JD, or 1st year Burrow...

Burrow was too his junior year...


But before 2018 at LSU Burrow hadn’t played any meaningful snaps since high school. In 3 seasons at Ohio State he only had 39 passing attempts and 15 carries late in blow out games, and a majority of those were in 2016.

He'll progress with coaching and time on his own, but it would help significantly if he had some receivers like Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson or Malik Nabers and BTJ.

High-end NFL receivers in college tend to make their quarterbacks look good.

You guys would have jerked off your own fathers for a qb of Leavitt’s caliber a decade or so ago


Yall need to stop being so dramatic. Was his performance great? Not at all. Do we need to throw him out and find a new one? Absofrickinglutely not

I’m still a believer in Sam. I should have worded it better. I was just trying to say how silly it is to compare him to Burrow/Daniels

It's probably relevant here since we're comparing him to two guys who progressed in year two while throwing to those exact receivers.

I agree; I just sometimes struggle with giving a clear, straightforward response.
