re: Why the Joe Burrow hype from LSU fans.

And Burrow had only been with the team for a few months before the season started.



There are true freshman QB's who had better numbers than Burrow (a RS Jr at the time) and they enrolled around the same time or even later, so stop with the excuses

Looks like you fellas are using every analytic and excuse you can to make the guy look better than he is.

I guess LSU fans just know football more than others.

But honestly, even though a good number of us thought Burrow would be really good this year, no one could have imagined the year he is having right now. It is completely off of the charts.

But could you imagine being so incredibly wrong about the eventual GOAT SEC QB? Like not one ounce of any of these posters' brains saw even an inkling. Just a historically bad take for half the board. I hope we can bump it until Lew gets pissy and perma deletes it.

There were a few that predicted a record breaking season. Rohan Davey said as much over the summer on a radio show and everyone laughed. Murf from Top Billing on YouTube made videos saying Burrow was about to go off. Even those predictions didn't do his performance justice.

Yeah, I remember Rohan saying that Burrow would break his LSU record before the season. But yeah, he has gone far beyond that. The fact that he hasn't been under 71% completions in one game this year considering LSU's schedule is astonishing. He has only been under 76% four times. He has faced four current top 15 scoring defenses and has completed 79% of his passes against them, had 1,500+ yards and 12 TDs to 1 INT.

LSU's Number-9 will go down as one college football's top-5 best Quarterbacks of all-time. He will certainly be considered as one of the 2 or 3 finest Quarterbacks to have ever played in the Southeastern Conference. He is the 2019 All-SEC first team Quarterback, the SEC Offensive Player of the Year, the Maxwell Award winner, the Walter Camp National Player of the Year,the Davey O'Brien winner, the Walter Camp All-America First Team QB, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winner, the AP first team All-America QB, the AP National Player of the Year, the SEC Championship Game MVP, and this Saturday evening he will walk away with the Heisman Trophy, in what some have suggested might be the greatest runaway vote of all time. He carried his team on his back in November at Tuscaloosa where he almost single handedly shocked the college football world and beat the G.O.A.T. coach on his own field. That coach's team had won 31-straight games and was 39-1 since September of 2015. Number-9 engineered wins against FIVE Top-10 teams on the day the game was played. He set an all-time SEC passing record for yards and touchdowns. He has led his team to an SEC championship and a number-1 ranking in the CFP. He is the greatest player to ever step foot on the campus of what most college football experts consider as one of the elite football schools in America, LSU. LSU is one of the top 3 or 4 football schools in the SEC. The word 'Hype" is root for 'Hyperbole", which means exaggerated statements. Son, there is nothing fake or unreal or exaggerated about this young man. Ask all of the SEC football coaches. Burreaux is not your average JEAUX, he is one of college football's greatest players of all time. He is an even greater human being. Geaux Tigahs!

That offense we had been running for a decade would have made Drew Brees look pedestrian. It wasn't even good in the rent a win games.

Joe definitely started coming on strong late in the season. It honestly Just seems like he needed some time to mesh with his WRS
