In 2018 Joe Burrow was undercenter in a 12 personnel man/gap scheme that tried to run every down and play defense. He was efficient in this system but like most first year players he locked on to his first read and tried to force balls along with one of the highest drop rates in the SEC.
In the 2019 offseason LSU changed to a shotgun RPO with inside zone. With hard work and study Joe Burrow and his receivers he was able to really open up his skillset. Burrow is now the one of the best QBs reading defenses at the line pre and post snap. The RPO allows him to read the linebackers and either hand it off fake it or even just take it himself without the fake (drop back and pass not run even though some are designed runs). He is the best QB in college football going through his reads. He throws with such anticipation that the windows his is putting balls into is very small and he is doing it at all 3 levels. His vision and pocket awareness are his best traits these allow him to see rushers and receivers which makes him the best QB in college football making off schedule plays.
2018 isn't the issue you and many more are making it out to be because you can see the growth, development, and hard work he has made to become the Heisman Trophy Winner.
Love your look neyond the numbers.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
