Sucked.
Bc we have a minimum of 12 starting positions that need upgrading.
No, there are only 11 other starters on offense. The QB doesn't rely on the defense to do his job. So, don't sit there and say that we need to get 12 starters for him to be successful.
The whole Ohio State issue is getting so old. As a freshman/sophomore he's not beating out JT Barrett. Nobody was since they were in the middle of a national title hunt. When you talk to the guys at Ohio State, most of them felt that in time that Burrow would have beaten out Haskins, had he not had the hand injury.
Just go back and look at some of the comments made about him by players after he lit up the spring game.
As for the one "good" year. Burrow didn't have a horrible Junior year. He was in a bad system and he got a late start at LSU. What did we see? Consistent progression after the Alabama game. LSU then joined the modern ranks of offense and implemented an NFL passing offense and Burrow lit it up.
I/we/everone may be wrong about Burrow, but when the 1st pick QB is a no-brainer, you better take him.
