I see no problem with Burrow hitting those numbers (70% or better is more likely, IMO), The TD count is within reach provided Joe's rushing TD's are included.

If Joe Brady truly is in charge of most of the passing game, well see a ton more of the short, quick, high-percentage passes. any far fewer of those slow-developing low-percentage plays that yield almost as many throwaways as incompletions.

Okay. That would require him to nearly double his TD total, but you're right, not a big jump. We haven't had a QB throw for more than 22 TDs since 2006.

If Joe Burrow has a completion percentage over 70% and scores 28 TDs with only 8 INTs LSU is easily in the playoffs this year.

That's odd. If Ensminger is "crushing it" then why would a change in offensive responsibilities yield such great results? What evidence do you have that Joe Brady is a better passing game coordinator than Ensminger?

Not fair at all. There are 11 other games on the schedule and those count as well.

True, but everyone cherry picks, including the OP. The 7OT game skewed the year’s offensive averages higher, and we lost that game. Had we ended up with just one TD or FG more in regulation, we would have won the game but the offensive stats would be lower.

I’d rather have the wins than the stats.

Of course. I never have agreed with judging everything vs Bama. I realize we are going to have to beat them to win the West most likely. But, there are a lot of other games to consider as well.

Joe is a dual-threat QB. You have to include rushing TDs for a dual threat.

2018 TD's - 16 passing, 7 rushing... 23 TDs

Three of those came in OT against A&M.

And 23 is less than 29.

Look, I like Burrow, but he's not putting up Russel like numbers this year.

bullshite.

I'm very consistent.

O, E, and Burrow are all grossly under-rated by the Nega's. And I've always said the WR room was inexperienced, unprepared, and had far too many drops for an SEC-level program. I believe Brady will fix that.

You’re lumping a lot of people in together

For instance I’m Meh on O
Don’t think E has what it takes and
I am a big Burrow fan.

Burrow’s “inexperience” is part of a lot of pumper’s excuses.

I personally Think if we but Burrow in an offense he’s used to he would have been fine.

That's not what you said. Here's what you said:

So, basically, you think Brady is going to make whole sale changes to our passing game for the better, which is an odd take for someone who thinks Ensminger is currently "crushing it." Why would you advocate for change? Why do you think Brady is a better passing game coordinator than Ensminger?

And BTW, what you are predicting Brady will do is exactly what people were screaming for last year, particularly due to our poor OL play. Of course, Ensminger never adjusted. The changes you are predicting would be welcomed among most on this board....but that doesn't really jive with your take that Ensminger is crushing it.
