re: SBNation Article - Is Joe Burrow Good?

Yes. I kid you not when I say I've yet to see Burrow do something Etling didn't/couldn't do. I'd actually argue Etling was the better QB so far.

Etling sat out a season after transferring from Purdue, so he had a year to become more familiar with the program. Burrow had 3 months.

If you want to compare #'s, look up Etling's 2016 stats in his first 3 starts against Miss St, Auburn, and MO vs. Burrow's 3 games this year. Their avg. QB rating is almost the same.

Burrow has the "it" factor that Etling was lacking.
