re: Joe Burrow vs Trevor Lawrence

I could see taking Lawrence. Has maybe more raw talent. But Fields? Have you really watched him? Kid makes some bad throws.

People have these opinions without watching the games or knowing much about football.

Fields in his first year as a starter is a more complete, more accurate, smarter quarterback than Lawrence in his second. Fields decision making makes Lawrence (a lot of the time) look indecisive and bumbling.

Burrow - older, yes - but also in his second year as a starter is a complete, NFL ready Quarterback who can do everything you ask a pro signal caller to do. His command of the offense and improvement year over year say something about his work ethic and potential, and his leadership - the way he raises the level of play of his entire team is something neither of the other two have shown.

In this race 1, 2, and 3 are clear, and there's a pretty large distance between each.
