Nick Fitzgerald vs Joe Burrow as both quarterbacks are struggling to find consistency through the air

Neither Nick Fitzgerald or Joe Burrow have been great at throwing the ball this season. If you don’t believe me, maybe you’ll believe Paul Finebaum’s twitter account.

These two quarterbacks are talented, nobody will question that. It’s just that these two quarterbacks aren’t exactly the best passers in the country. There’s evidence to point out that they’re two of the worst in the SEC this season up to this point.

In this game, the Mississippi State football team should try to run the ball as much as possible. But there will still be times that Fitzgerald will likely have to throw some. Similarly, LSU will probably try to run at the Bulldogs, but Burrow is still going to throw the ball a bit.

Which quarterback will help his team more?
