“Feleipe Franks isn’t as good of a quarterback as Joe Burrow.”

That’s not exactly a hot take. After all, LSU’s quarterback finished with more yards and more completions in Florida’s 27-19 win over LSU. Burrow hadn’t thrown an interception all season until the 1:45 mark in the fourth quarter in the Swamp. He took advantage of mismatches on receivers and looked like an above-average quarterback when he wasn’t getting hounded by the Gators’ defensive line.

“Franks isn’t as good of a quarterback as Burrow.”

It’s not a hot take. It’s just wrong.

Franks showed better instincts, better poise under pressure and better decision-making abilities than Burrow throughout the game.
