re: Next Year's QB Competition

I truly do not believe that QB is our issue.

Exactly. By no means am I saying Burrow=Tua. But would Tua be putting up those same numbers behind this offensive line and philosophy

If Brennan couldn't beat him out this year, I highly doubt he will beat him out next year.

I view that the opposite. Brennan probably has the superior arm talent, but is raw in terms of development, both physically and mentally.
Burrow is probably close to his peak, and I doubt he'd be much better next year. We might have less drops, and maybe a better line, but that's probably the only things that would improve his stats.

That said, I think Burrow holds the job, unless the team collapses down the stretch this year. He's been "good enough" to win a bunch of games, and you know you have Brennan in reserve if needed.
Burrow, on the other hand... he transferred away from Ohio St to play. He's not a pro prospect, his passing career ends 2019 no matter where. If he loses this spot, he might well transfer to a FCS team close to home to finish it out.

We don't really have any other depth, so unless Brennan decisively wins out, I doubt we see a move. Brennan showed he will stick it out, and either way, he should be ready for 2020 and beyond.
