You're the master of meaningless facts and figures. Was this a rhetorical question? Because everyone who is paying attention knows that Joe Burrow created that 2019 LSU team during the 2018 season. He capped it with a Fiesta Bowl win that showed that he was the clear leader and the heart and soul of the team that would win the Championship in '19.
I'll leave this here since you have such a short memory.
Quote:And what did he do last year without elite talent around him?
- Ended rookie season 65.3% completion rate and 89.9 rating. (better than Dalton)
- Ended season on pace to break multiple team and NFL rookie passing records.
- Topped 300 yards passing in five of his 10 starts.
- At the time of his injury was just 97 yards shy of tying then-NFL rookie record of six 300-yard games in a season
- Five 300-yard passing games tied single-season Bengals record
- Became first rookie in NFL history to pass for 300 yards in three consecutive games
- At Cleveland, his 61 attempts were second-most in team history (most in non-OT game), and his 37 completions tied the second-most ever by a Bengal
- Had just the sixth 400-yard passing game by a rookie in NFL history.
- First player in league history (of any experience) to record 400 passing yards, three passing TDs and one rushing TD in a game
Quote:Meanwhile Dalton also went undefeated his senior year and TCU finished ranked #2 in the nation despite Dalton only having 2 other NFL players on the entire team.
Andy Dalton was a good quarterback. He'll never be a great quarterback. Joe Burrow could be a great quarterback.
