I think he might have already.

Just watch. Burrow is 6'4", more durable, with similar arm strength and accuracy. Tua is a better athlete, but Burrow is a pretty damn solid athlete himself. Burrow has proven to be more accurate downfield than Tua this season as well.

The only thing Tua really has over Burrow from an NFL perspective us that Burrow has the tendency to throw a completely boneheaded, head scratching pass once or twice a game on average. Tua only does that once every two or three games.

I don’t see it. They both are incredibly accurate, but Tua just more athletic. Tua goes first but Joe is gonna be a great QB for the team that gets him!

Personally, Burrow reminds me so much of Brady and Brees, I hope the Saints take him and if not the Saints the Patriots because in those two systems he will excel.

I hope Tua goes first.

The gratification of having the number one overall draft pick isn't worth his career getting thrown down the shitter at Miami.

If he keeps having this year and out duels tua, he may.

It also may come down to measurables. Is Joe bigger/faster than Tua?

I’m not a Tua Top-10 guy but I like his flaws better than Joes

Joe is a late 1st guy to me, Tua is a mid 1st

He should. He has more measurables that are needed for the pro game.

If I’m an NFL scout, I’d take Burrow over Tua. Burrow has an ability to read a defense like Peyton Manning could. It’s almost instinctual for him. Tua gets confused by defenses a lot.

I watch a lot of college football & very objectively believe he is the most NFL ready QB in college football. Accurate, quick release, reads defense & one tough son of a gun that’s not afraid to stand in the pocket or stay in bounds on the run. Just plain football smart.

Know a certain NFL coach that loves him, but probably realizes he would have to sell the farm to move up high enough to have a shot.

Only possible way that'll happen is if LSU defeats Bama. Otherwise.........no chance!

Tua is injury prone. He looks like a little QB. I know he puts up crazy numbers but something about him doesn't wow me... burrow looks like a dam nfl qb. Top 5 pick all day. I would select burrow over Tua.

It’s worth noting that the Miami Dolphins have scouted Burrow extensively, right alongside the other handful of top quarterbacks in next year’s draft picture. The NFL’s other winless team, the 0-6 Cincinnati Bengals, sent their top scouting executive (Duke Tobin) to the game matching Burrow and Utah State’s Jordan Love two weeks ago.

If you want someone who is currently running an NFL offense effectively then Burrow surpasses all QB’s in the draft. If only he were still available when the Saints pick comes up.

From the same writer in the link.

quote:

30. New Orleans Saints LSU QB Joe Burrow The LSU-Saints connections are stronger than just geographical. The Tigers’ hiring of assistant coach Joe Brady, who spent years on Sean Payton’s staff learning his offense, has been a seismic one. Few could picture LSU being a fast-paced, foot-on-the-pedal passing game, but here we are. The emergence of Burrow after a strong finish last season makes this projection a very realistic one in our minds. Payton has to know that Drew Brees is on borrowed time, and Teddy Bridgewater has led three TD drives in 26 possessions this season (not counting kneeldowns). Burrow could be the successor in New Orleans.
