I think the leap Burrow has had can be attributed to a couple things:
1. He didn't get on campus until around July last year and won the job as soon as he got there. From all accounts, the team loved him pretty much instantly, but it still took time to built chemistry.
2. On the chemistry front, LSU kept switching out WRs throughout the game last year. They might have had 5 different combinations on the first 5 drives and I don't think that any of them could get in sync with anyone else. This year Jefferson, Chase, and Marshall are almost always out there and they have just clicked a lot more as a result.
3. The play calling and O-line didn't match last year. They were still a run heavy team that had a lot of long developing pass plays, but the line wasn't good enough to let the plays actually develop. Burrow would either have to force throws or throw early and hope that it worked out. With Brady in the fold, they have an offense that is actually built for the talent.
