Idk. Burrow is much more mobile than Brady is and honestly makes some throws under duress that I have never seen Brady make. Burrow is a damn good qb and he does have some time Brady in him, but he is just more mobile than Brady. He's going to have a long nfl career, barring injury of course.

In the pocket, he looks a lot like Brady avoiding pressure. As far as passing, it's tough to say who he looks like because he pushes the ball down the field so much and so successfully. It almost looks like Carson Palmer's one fantastic year as the Cardinals QB.

I don’t know but watching that kid’s improvement from last year to this year was amazing to see.

Burrow put the work in & truly became a student of the game. I’ve heard he worked on throwing technique big time in off season. It shows. His passes look more crisp this year. Last year, it seemed he thru floaters that hung too long at times.

He’s earned it.

Yeah, that's a good one too. Burrow is still more mobile than him though. Burrow is a unique qb (and unique person overall lol), he's going to be very good though.

I don't think he's as mobile as some people are making him out to be. I seriously doubt he's in Russell Wilson's mobility zip code, Burrow just picks great times to run and is decently athletic.

Brees with height.
Total awareness and control of the offense, extremely accurate. Not a great arm, but he knows exactly how good his arm is, and doesn't try to out-throw what he can do.

the closest comparison is Aaron Rodgers...there is no question about it...the only big difference between the two is probably arm strength... other than being 2" taller than Rodgers i believe they are both accurate, mobile, high football IQ, and tough

Uh, burrow is pretty mobile dude. He's not as mobile as Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray, now come on dude, but they're the fastest qbs in the league. What I mean by mobile, is that burrow will make the defense be aware of him tucking and running the ball when nothing is there or there is a lane open for him to hit it and go. I believe he's proven that against some pretty stout defenses. You can dial up a qb draw with burrow and he can be a threat for an offense...most qbs can't do that. Burrow is also very comfortable rolling out of the pocket by design or just by improvising and can hurt you via pass or run in those scenarios. Burrow is more mobile than you think lol. He's got some moves too. He's dangerous and is a tough dude literally and to defend. He's very good man. He will win the Heisman mainly for his throwing, but he's made some huge plays running the ball as well.

He reminds me of Flynn a lot. Obviously he is putting up more impressive numbers and is more accurate but Flynn was pretty accurate, not the biggest arm, smart and pretty athletic.

Steve Young: A high IQ player, great attitude, student of the game, decent arm, can run, and knows when to use his legs as opposed to his arm.

Nah man, he's better than Flynn. Not saying Flynn wasn't decent himself, but burrow is definitely better than him. I'm sure Flynn would even tell you that himself. You think we could run the offense we are running right now with Matt Flynn and match our productivity with burrow at the helm? No way.

Another good one right there. Rodgers and young so far are the best comparisons I believe.
