re: Difference between Burrow and JD …

Does Burrows include the Georgia, Oklahoma and Clemson game for averages? While the 2019 regular season was tough if it includes those 3 games it would be that much more impressive.

Holy shite I just looked at his stats for those 3 games again. He had 18 total TDs and 1300 yards passing.

Umm sorry but a couple of these are not at all like the others.

Mett had a damn good season & how dare you disrespect THE ETLING - I mean WTF ???

But on a purely collegiate level, I think Jayden is maybe actually better … and I would have never imagined I could ever possibly hold this viewpoint

I have to agree - what JD did to the opposition was magical and unapproachable. I cannot believe he could sustain the in the NFL without more physical bulk, but that remains to be seen.

I would not have believed we'd ever see anything like Burrow again, but now that view shifts to JD at the collegiate level, with no disparagement of either.

Definitely have to credit both for putting in work to make sure year 2 was special

They took coaching and worked on deficiencies to become better second year in program

There was talk both could move on after their first years in program
Both made wise decisions and made a lot of money for themselves in this day and age of immediate gratification

Burrow made the crticial 3rd down against Texas. JD did not make the critical 3rd down against Ole Miss.

That is the difference.

Yeah, that must be it. I thought it might be the fact that the 2019 LSU was ranked #31 in the nation while the 2023 LSU defense was #104 but obviously the difference was one play where JD didn't convert a 3rd down in a game where LSU scored 49 points and lost.

How would each have performed in the others offensive schemes??

Burrow had the benefit of being compared to no one. We had never had anything in the same realm as he was at qb.


Then a few years later JD comes along and everyone is comparing hik to burrow. Then suddenly ot gets to end of season and casual fans realize he has arguably better stats. JD was Clyde Edwards and Burrow wrapped into the same player.

There is absolutely no reason why Daniels shouldn’t have been a unanimous All American

Joe had a more complex, creative, and diverse offensive scheme. It was tremendous to watch him work through the complexity of the routes to find the matchups and deliver.

The offense that Daniels operated in wasn't terribly complex or creative. Many of the routes were the same each game. Sideline/slot comebacks/outs. Deep balls...especially out of the slot. A few in-cuts. It's just that Daniels and the WRs executed at such a high level it was next to impossible to defend. Go back and watch the tape. Game after game defenders had good coverage on the WRs. It's not like Daniels was just throwing to wide open guys after blow coverages. Yet the ball placement was often perfect and Nabers, Thomas (and to a lesser extent, Lacy) seemed to win 90% of "50/50" balls.

Then, when the defense took away every throw. When they got pressure. Daniels would just calmly slip out of the pocket and glide for 30-40 yards. That was the most impressive part. The defense could do everything EXACTLY right...and still give up 40 yards.

Its gets forgotten because of the way the game ended, but his 99 yard TD drive vs FSU in 2022 could be the most clutch drive I've ever seen a LSU QB execute. 99 yards in 1:20 with only 1 TO needed a TD to "tie"
