re: What did we say about Burrow after 2 weeks?

quote:

---

In 2018, Burrow played under E's terrible offense.

And Burrow was only with the team a few months, not 4 years.

---

Also the leading receiver in 2018 was Justin Jefferson with 875 and Stephon Sullivan was 2nd with 311 yards, that offense was no where near the offense Brennan played on Saturday

Same OC calling the plays. And btw how many QBs at LSU have thrown for 350 in their first start besides Brennan? Zero that’s how many, the defense lost that game period.

---

46 throws and he might be calling the plays but it definitely it’s the same scheme, we’re playing the scheme Brennan has played with since high school,

Burrow was new to the offense, new to the personnel and has far less experienced WRs than Brennan had yesterday.
If you can’t see the difference in the two QBs’ first games, maybe you should watch soccer.
Nobody could rightly say they saw Heisman in Burrow’s first game, but given his lack of familiarity with program, personnel, coaches, you could tell he was going to be very competent.
There wasn’t much competence displayed by Brennen in his first start, despite 46 opportunities with a lot of NFL talent wide open on the field.

No, I think Burrow definitely developed as a player and worked on getting the ball out quicker as a priority. Brennan doesn't have the Moxy Joe has but maybe that is fine, I haven't given up on him yet personally.

let's not pretend that his struggles this game are comparable to Burrow's.

Burrow is having a great first year with the Bengals.
Would LSU fans be happy with an 0-3 start.

Who believes he would have had the same results as 2019, at LSU, without the players on defense or offense that are gone.
Take away Helaire, Jefferson, Chase, Moss, the Offensive Linemen and that Championship would not happen. Take away Jefferson and Helaire, and the Texas and Alabama wins would have been in jeopardy.

Even with good players it takes some time to build a "team".
Take away Stingly and what would you have had.

Because the scheme dictated it with slow developing 2 receiver routes with an O line that couldn't pass block somehow.

---

And the O Line did so well on Saturday......While running for his life Brennan had basically the same completion percentage as Costello, both had 2 INTs (one of Brennan's came on a hail Mary at the end of the game, the other was due to the protection, his arm was hit as he threw) and passed for 300+. While he has been in the system longer than Burrow was, he has not started or had significant playing time until Saturday. Give the kid a break. Go back and count the number of drops (Half a dozen at least), and look out blocks and reassess where the brunt of the blame belongs.

The same NFL talent that had a minimum of half a dozen drops or maybe the NFL talent that allowed 7 sacks and had Brennan running for his life. Your username fits you......

Your opinion is wrong

The way you worded that is funny. My point isn't that I'm basing Brennan's performance off his stats, but that people are freaking out about MB's play significantly more than they would if the defense plays well and we give up 14 instead of 44. Burrow's issues were easier to look past because our defense was lights out. It also puts significantly more pressure on Brennan to have to score every drive when the defense gives up score after score. especially in his first start. I hate to be the excuses guy, but I just think this first game from Brennan is going to be an outlier by the end of the season in terms of how he looks.
