The fact that you have to ask says it all...

No. I have yet to see Burrow get rattled. Burrow's also been here, what, four or five months?

ETA: your post sucks.

Absolutely not and simply by asking this question, you have revealed that you don't know much about football.

I love Danny as a competitor and he was a great Tiger, but Burrow is head and shoulders better.

I think they are similar at this point. I was thinking Burrow's passing would be in the 60% range. It's too early to really tell, but I'm hopeful our passing game improves. If not, Burrow looks very close to Etling... Who I thought was a good quarterback/leader, but not great or someone who could take over a game.

You're smoking off the same crackrock as Shane. No way Etling could've engineered that drive at Auburn!!

It's strange to me because after a lot of games, I would look at Etling's stats and be surprised at how good they were. The opposite is the case with Burrow and his stats. I feel like he's better than the stats show thus far.

His completion percentage would be more like 65-70% if it weren't for the 3-4 dropped passes thrown into receivers chests. I'm cognizant you're going to have a drop or two here and there, but this year it has been worse than previous years. (I'm not saying Burrow is perfect either).

Burrows stats are very underwhelming.

He is a little new to LSU, but he couldn't even have a great game against the likes of SE LA and Tech.

I still have faith he come improve with time, but we are really fixing to see if he is worth the hype in the coming weeks. The honeymoon is over now.

Don’t discount that Etling played a ton his first couple years at purdue, then had a full transfer year to get acclimated at LSU.

Burrow has only had a fall camp.

Didn't he though? The Refs stole it.

What Burrow did against Auburn at the end of the game Etling never could have done. Burrow's overlal numbers are suffering due to things outside his control. I definitely think he's a better QB than Etling. Etling was efficient his last season here but just wasn't a play maker.

We were down late in 4th against Auburn and Burrow led 2 scoring drives at the end to win the game. Game over win Auburn if Etling is put into same situation, he's not making those throws to Dillion or that sweet sideline pass to Anderson.

Eitling had a 13 play 60 yard drive if the refs stopped the clock properly, would have won the game at Auburn.

I'm not saying Eitling is better. But, I'm not going to hold the Auburn game against him.

Given the chance like Canada wanted Brennan was better than Etling. Your best passing QB is sitting on the bench. Just because he a young gun doesn’t mean he ain’t the better gun. Whenever you want your completion rate to top 65% play the kid.
