Xavier McKinney says Joe Burrow isn't best QB he's ever faced, names his No. 1 QB
The LSU Tigers went into Tuscaloosa on Saturday afternoon and picked up a huge 46-41 victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide.
QB Joe Burrow had a great game, throwing for 393 yards, 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. It was a dominant performance, and one that may launch Burrow all the way to the Heisman.
However, after the game, Alabama DB Xavier McKinney said he didn’t think Burrow was the best quarterback he has faced. Instead, he said the guy he goes against in practice every day — Crimson Tide star Tua Tagovailoa — is the best:
Xavier McKinney was asked if LSU's Joe Burrow is the best QB he's faced during his time at #Alabama: "No. I think Tua's the best quarterback that I've faced."

Tagovailoa had a big game on Saturday too, throwing for 418 yards, 4 touchdowns and 1 pick.
Either way, you can’t go wrong, but we’ll see who gets the nod for the Heisman at the end of the year.
That dude is more dumb then he looks. That qb that you said AINT GOOD beat yall ass. For not being good he sure couldnt stop him. Losers mentality is funny. Tua is good but if hes a Heisman winner why couldnt he win with the 4 wrs hes got? Joe Burrow has won against 4 top 10 teams. Tua has a win against a weak tx am team and a loss to the TRUE HEISMAN WINNER. GEAUX TIGERS
Ignorance…where does it say anywhere that he didn’t think burrow was “ain’t good” as you put it? I agree tua hasn’t face the same defenses LSU has but are you trying to say lsu’s Defense is a bunch of scrubs as well bc he just put up over 400 yards and 4 tds all while sporting an injury and having to limp off the field after the game.
He is supporting his QB.. It’s not like he said Fu(k you… That’s your head coach…
Learn to read then tell me where he makes the statement that he “Aint good.” Burrow has not been good for a couple of years and is doing great now. Tua has done great for two-plus years now. Support your team on a good win and stop being an embarrassment to your team by opening your mouth!
chill dude. he didnt say he wasnt good.
I disagree with him about Tua, but a safety who faced Trevor Lawrence saying Burrow isn’t the best quarterback he faced is understandable.
Nice answer, but there is a huge difference in facing someone in practice or a game. I’m sure the questioner was hoping for a comparison between Lawrence and Burrow, but McKinney didn’t bite.
Now we’ll spend the next five years wondering what would’ve happened if Tua was 100%.
You and Bama fans may do that, but I won’t spend a minute on that. LSU won. That’s all that matters.
Ok boomer.
Lol
What else could Tua have done? He threw for over 400 yards…there’s no excuses..the better team just won…as far as who is better between the qb’s …I would take either one …you couldn’t go wrong… I’m of course a guy is going to pick his own team mate…no big deal
Don’t imagine old Xavier is ever going to be a GM anyway. Just sounds like sour grapes. By the way, you think Xavier knows how bad he looked when #22 juked him for the touchdown. Pretty sure Clyde sees better players at practice.
That’s funny. Burrow said the samething about DBs…
SOME LSU fans are HILARIOUS
