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 Joe Burrow is either the fifth or sixth rated quarterback in the draft, so that he will be available when the Saints pick.

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?

Have you been watching the same games that we have?

Site just ONE example. He had the same number of TD’s as he did incompletions vs FLORIDA. Lay off the meth brother, it’s bad for your health.

Idk how it’ll play out but I’ll say this..
If I was a coach I would WAY rather Burrow.
The intangibles he brings to the table are unsurpassable.
Greater leader. Tua has folded under pressure previously, Burrow hasn’t. Burrow seems to have a better ability to read defenses and make adjustments pre-snap. And as stated above, better frame and more durable.
Burrow will be a franchise QB.
Tua will be much like Mariota... he will be good but never great.

Tua has rushed for 358 yards in 30 games.

Joe has rushed for 370 in 19 games at LSU.

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

I think we ALL know the real reason why Burrow would go ahead of Tua....

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

Burrow definitely folded last year against bama and many other games

Don't hold your hope, Burrow will be one of the first two qbs taken in the draft next year. No chance for the Saints to draft him late in the first round.
