re: Let's say Joe B wins the QB job

You were down voted but some thing can be said for a qb who can make a quick decision and a scheme that allows him to make a quick throw effectively. This does take the wind out of a defense and can put the OL in an offensive state even if they aren't the best OL.

Now if you have the studs up front to make way no matter your scheme then that's a bonus. I think LSU will be a mix of both this year, which can make the offense even more effective. I would always approach the start of a game with quick throws mixed with runs designed to fool the defense. This will take the competitive edge or aggressiveness from the defense and have them guessing from the start.

Make them look at each other and start pointing while you come at them. I'm hoping that Joe B is the type of QB who can make a play happen even when a play really isn't there. There is always a pass to be made IF the QB can find it and has the ability to make that throw accurately. There's nothing more frustrating then when a defense does everything pefectly but the offense gains 10 yards anyway. If we can do that while also running the ball like we have in the past, this team will be very dangerous. Couple that with a new opportunistic defense ran by Aranda and you've got a championship type of season. You can't forget that our FG kicking should be much more consistent in 2018 as well.

I'm pumped to see how this season plays out. I just hope that if Burrow is the starter, he can be just as effective in week one, as he is in week 10 at finishing the opponent. Now if he gets better overall throughout the season, then great but I hope he knows how to do just enough to win at the start of it. GT

Everyone that's been around the kid claims he possesses the "It factor." I have not heard any voice proclaiming concern over his ability.
Therefore, we go with the trend. Smarts and field leadership are vital.

Let's say Joe B wins the QB job

Rohan Davey was on AFR the other day and said, to some effect, that there was no way Burrow was going to come to LSU for his last two years of eligibility without some sort of guarantee (whether spoken or not) that he would be the starter. I haven't watched much of his film but he is a big dude, has a strong arm, accurate, and is more mobile than some people would think. While I do think we will have some packages for Narcisse, I don't think we will be limited by Burrow as far as RPOs and stuff.

Side note: I would love for us to have some goal line packages that feature Narcisse.

Nothing more entertaining than when someone starting a post that reads "I have a good friend that told me this"
Joe Burrow is going to the Bourbon Bowl!!!!

Your friend must be on Crack? Because there is so much tape on Burrows playing in "REAL TIME" against SEC type of Defenses? or was this just him asking the Magic 8ball for answers?

10 times better than ANY QB we've had in the last 15yrs LOL
C'mon dude, let's be real and join the real world for a moment

We neeed to LOWER OUR EXPECTATIONS
NEW OC
NEW QB
NEW RB
NEW WR
AND BRUTAL SCHEDULE

This will be like a 7 win season ONLY because ARANDA is a GENIUS ON DEFENSE!!!!!

How will his talents make an immediate impact on the offense/team?

---

He will throw the ball or hand the ball off to lsu’s skill position players.

quote:

Downfield passing threat?

---

When Burrow is in , there is a 50/50 chance the ball will be passed down the field. That will keep defenses honest.

quote:

Good field general?

---

When Burrow is in, there is 100% chance he will be calling the plays in the huddle.

Better athlete than we've maybe heard, dual threat?

---

Oooh every LSU fans favorite term “dual threat”...careful now, you may make some posters soil their drawers.

reports are that hes already the most talented QB in the SEC

There is *literally* not one report that says this.

The post said “he’s great at pre-snap reads and short intermediate throws.” I’m simply asking, other than high school evaluations from 4 years ago or spring game highlights, what evidence led to that conclusion. How can anyone voice concern over his ability when he’s never started a game or played a meaningful college snap?

exactly.

Look, I'm excited about Burrow. But he hasn't had any meaningful PT. Yes, he looked very good against Nebraska, but that was late in the game against the Huskers' reserves.

Let's just all relax hope he's the real deal - but right now, we have zero way of knowing. I don't care how good he's looking with summer throwing with receivers. Most QBs are going to look good doing that.

Let's see what he does against Miami - then we'll know. Everything else is just a guess.

Everything you said is true, although maybe there’s a little more to go on than a guess. Then OSU QB coach and OC Tom Herman saw enough to like to recruit him, over others he could have gone after. And there is no doubt that Burrow has improved his skills and physical size and strength over that 4 star high school kid Herman signed.

Also, while he was throwing against Husker backups, he was also throwing to Buckeye backups from behind the backup O-line.

A Florida writer had an interesting take on Burrow months ago as to why he thought Joe would be a good fit for the Gators. It’s an interesting read and film study, and still applies today.
Joe Burrow Accuracy & Film Study

I am thinking its a done deal. Joe has the job. Brennan is the main threat to start over him and he just can’t get the kind of weight on that they need him too. I’d be surprised if he doesnt’t add the weight at some point, but just my opinion thats where they are right now.

Size and strength sure. We just haven’t really seen those “skills” in an actual meaningful game or situation

The major premise of his article is that Burrow was accurate in high school. What college QB recruit isn’t? He then has two clips from Burrow playing up 46 points vs. Bowling Green and up 52 points vs Maryland. Look I hope he’s incredible and wins the heisman and LSU goes undefeated but the hype on this kid who couldn’t beat out JT Barrret or Haskins is out of control.
