I say true

Tua buckles under pressure and is injury prone. In tough games he’s proven he can’t win.

Fromm is very inaccurate and had a sophomore slump

Joe is the complete player and IMO will be head and shoulders above the rest in the SEC

Has the strongest arm
Toughest
Sneaky fast


He’s the darkhorse for Heisman IMO

Tua was a first year starter with a comp % of 70 and like 40/6 TD/int ratio. He showed his ability to buckle under pressure in the NC game as a freshman huh?


Joe is a good QB tho

False, he was average last season as a passer but was solid in the run game.


Sports reference gives passing stats for players with at least 14 attempts per game. 107 players met that criteria. Here is where Burrow ranked in major categories:

Completion %: 77th

Y/A: 50th

TD: 65th

INT: 13th

Rate: 64th

Rushing: 25th

Rushing YPA: 33rd

What were Tua’s stats versus top 30 defenses last season? What were Burrow’s?

False

Tua and Fromm both have stronger arms also

I love Joe Burrow as much as anyone, but your post is one of the worst I have ever seen.

It’s sorta s elf fulfilling prophecy because when he’s playing well the games are not tough.

Fromm is overrated but Joe isn't remotely close to Tua.

Burrow - 2,894 yards, 16 TD, 5 INT, 7 rushing TD

Stats versus common opponents:

True. He is for LSu and O. I wouldnt trade him for any of them.
Certainly not the most arm talent, the best runner or the highest NFL draft pick out of these.

Pre snap reads
Leadership
Audibles
Toughness

He just fits at LSu right now. Some QB's have "it"; others regardless of their natural talents, just cant get the best out of others or get it done.

I think he has a huge year and breaks a few records.

It's not. He's been talking about Burrow like this since middle of last season at least. Burrow is a damn good QB, but OP overexaggerates how much he's proven so far.

Why are people so simple minded? Stats need to be looked with critical thinking skills. For example, Brady isn't the goat because he has the most rings, that shite is circumstancial as are all stats.

Did you consider his receiving end having lots of huge gains dropped?

Did you consider our line was so bad that any defensive line w a pulse was pressuring joe?

Did you consider how our limited offense put a hamper on our qb, such as our lack of a real run threat?

Joe isn't better than Tua but it's close. Joe has a shot at being the third best in the nation if the chips fall well.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Joe will start in the NFL.
