Through 3 games

863 yards
11 TDs
2 INTs
64.8 completion %
QB Rating - 161.8

Over 13 games he’s pacing for

3740 yards
44 TDs
9 INTs

Obviously Joe in 2019 isn’t going to be touched. Granted he’s playing in much more wide open scheme but I would argue he has the worst Oline and RB group of anyone on the following list I’m about to show. Not one of the worst. THE WORST He’s gonna come back down to earth in the SEC but

3500 yards
35 TDs

Seems extremely realistic

Here’s some stats

Single season yards record

1 Joe Burrow 5,671- 2019
2 Rohan Davey 3,347- 2001
3 JaMarcus Russell 3,129- 2006
4 Zach Mettenberger 3,082- 2013
5 Joe Burrow 2,894- 2018
6 Matt Mauck 2,825- 2003
7 Tommy Hodson 2,655- 1989
8 Zach Mettenberger 2,609- 2012
9 Jeff Wickersham 2,542- 1983
10 Danny Etling. 2,463- 2017


Passing TDs in a season

1 Joe Burrow 60- 2019
2 Matt Mauck 28- 2003
JaMarcus Russell 28- 2006
4 Tommy Hodson 22- 1989
Zach Mettenberger 22- 2013
6 Matt Flynn 21- 2007
7 Tommy Hodson 19- 1986
8 Herb Tyler 18- 1998
Rohan Davey 18- 2001
10 Alan Risher 17- 1982
Josh Booty 17- 2000
Jordan Jefferson 17- 2009


Here’s where it gets really interesting. Here’s the career TDs. Reminder- Max had 8 in 2020

1 Joe Burrow 76- 2018 2019
2 Tommy Hodson 69- 1986 1987 1988 1989
3 JaMarcus Russell 52- 2004 2005 2006
4 Herb Tyler 40-
1995 1996 1997 1998
5 Matt Mauck 37- 2001 2002 2003
6 Zach Mettenberger 35-
2011 2012 2013
7 Jamie Howard 34- 1992 1993 1994 1995
Jordan Jefferson 34- 2008 2009 2010 2011
9 Jarrett Lee 32- 2008 2009 2010 2011
10 Alan Risher 31- 1980 1981 1982
Matt Flynn 31- 2004 2005 200



There’s a very good chance this kid is 4th in passing TDs on the career LSU list by the end of this year snd he’s started a grand total of 5 games.

He’s running for his life back there. His running game is giving him virtually no support and he doesn’t have one decent upper class man WR. shite all of his best guys except Kayshon are true freshman.

Y’all were spoiled by Joe. Give this kid a fricking break and some support.

I was proud of him for taking some chances last night and airing it out. Looking forward to seeing him continue to develop.

Amazing Burrow has more than twice as many TD's as the the next highest. Granted an extended playoff accounts for some of it, but still.

We're seeing that Max has a lot of young guys who will fight and win a lot of 50-50 balls. Like others have said, if they can keep him upgright, he will put up numbers.

Brennan was on the same pace last year. I really do feel for that guy.

You think this pace keeps up against 8 SEC defenses?

Getting to 35 TDs and 3500 yards is probably a stretch.

The game is so much different from even the 2013-16 years.

There should probably be a few lines drawn in there somewhere, because there's a lot of apples to oranges stuff going on with posts like this.

When you see Joe’s stats against other LSU greats it really puts into perspective how incredible 2019 was

Agreed. And how impressive is it that 4th year Brennan was on the same pace as 2nd year Max.

Max is catching way too much shite. We should be more grateful and supportive. He's a fricking stud.

He's pacing for 44 TDs and 3700 yards.

He has 8 SEC games and ULM left. He has 11 TDs.

So do I think Max can average 2.6 TDs over the rest of the season? Absofrickinglutely.

By the way - he only needs 18 more TDS to have the 2nd most in one season in LSU history.

Keep trying to shite on him though. I'll keep fricking you up with facts.

But you give the man his due. Name one other player on that list that didn't have a better Oline AND run game.

You can make excuses if you want but Max may smash some of these numbers except for Burrows video game GOAT season

Taking stats from three non conference games and extrapolating them for a season is speculative especially when two of the three are cupcakes.

The Oline excuse is becoming pathetic. Max has a lot more time than you morons claim he does, he just can’t negotiate the pocket at all and panics way too much. Just like when Kiner got in there all of the sudden we could run the ball, the better Max plays the better the Oline looks. This isn’t a great Oline by any means but you guys have decided that you’re gonna scape goat them and Peetz and O and whoever you need to as long as it feeds into a preconceived narrative no matter if it’s true or not.

Apples and oranges outside of a comparison to 2019. You can’t compare what he is doing to any other QB but burrow or Brennan.
