My point is that a QB is the key to any team's success. Teams like LSU stockpile elite talent every class. I don't care what they lost, they still have more on the bench than we have in the starting line up even with everyone healthy. Despite all of that stockpiled talent, they are feeling the loss of Burrows. Do we know how good they'd be if Burrows was playing with all of the other losses? No, but I guess the dropoff would be less, because QBs matter more than anyone else.

I don't think our struggles on offense are scheme. That's just the easy thing for fans to point to. I'll point to two things. First, Dungey threw for 1298 in 8 games as a freshman. As a sophomore and junior he played 9 games each and threw for over 2600 and 2400 yards. Did he change that much as a player from year one to year two? I doubt it. The scheme he played in changed. Two, when he went out those two seasons did the offense fall flat on its face. In 2016 there was a significant drop except in the Pitt game, but in 2017 we still put up over 400 yards per game.
