Burrow was throwing strikes though but i sometimes feel that if this was a QB at Oklahoma or Baylor or another school that is known for passing then they would just chalk it up to the system and a player having a monster season. But cause LSU not used to seeing those types of numbers maybe it was overhyped somewhat?
I thought his touch was fukking fantastic, but this whole "this nikka looks way better than anyone else I've seen", I've never been able to get behind that. Like Kyler....you give Kyler 3 guys on the caliber of CeeDee Lamb...you see where Im going with this.
I know the sentiment as far as talking heads went, LSU being so inept at that position definitely influenced how they analyzed him early in the season...but as everyone became used to it, I think that context became less relevant. I thought he had a top 5-10 season I've seen at the position, but I think the machine that was their offense was the best I've seen overall

RB that could run for 120 and catch for 120, 3 NFL studs at WR, few really good OLmen, TE that I THOUGHT was gonna be pretty valued in the NFL, all that on top of what was a bad year defensively for the SEC, and they had an amazing run.
I still dont know who you couldve taken at QB other than him, even if you thought it was all the system and not him. A lot of what I said also applies to Tua, and he has the injuries. Justin Herbert apologists weird me out.
