perhaps he's basing it in part due to the fact that in spite of the fact Tua played injured the last couple of years, he is the all time ncaa record holder in pass efficiency

It really doesn't matter who goes first, it matters who performs better once they get there.

We shall see in the years to come.

Cowherd is an idiot. Burrow was the much better QB even before Tua suffered a potential career-ending injury.

I'd take Burrow and it's not close.

Cowherd didn’t even know Burrow was an OSU transfer

He found out on air, while interviewing Urban Meyer, who recruited Joe

Yeah that’s the reason someone should choose Tua over Burrow...Burrow is older

I guess Drew Brees sucks under pressure too? Tua wasn't even in the top 5 for QBR under pressure

so let me think about this.

Nevermind that Joe Burrow wasn't good enough to play at Ohio State but some LSU fans said he was so mediocre (57% completion pct) his junior year at LSU because wide receivers dropped so many passes and the offensive line didn't block well. So Burrow wasn't to blame for being mediocre that year, but gets the credit for being great the next year, in spite of the fact he's playing with mostly the same receivers and linemen. How does that work?

My contention is that Burrow wasn't as bad as his junior year indicated (never mind he wasn't good enough to play at Ohio State), and he isn't as good as the senior year indicates. My contention is that Joe Brady was very good at scheming a game plan for the opposition and getting receivers open.

Now, during the season some LSU fans pretty much admitted that Brady was in fact due to the turnaround. Now that he's one and done in Baton Rouge, though, some of those same LSU fans say that Brady actually wasn't all that, and in fact Ensminger was the offensive coordinator and will carry on as well without Brady the Boy Wonder. This, in spite of the fact that Ensminger was the O.C. before Brady's one and done in Baton Rouge lightning in a bottle year.

Is that about right? Did I forget anything?

Joe Burrow just needed to be in the right situation.
Tua was immediately in the right situation.

When it shakes out Tua will have played with 3 1st Round OTs, possibly 5 1st round WRs, possibly 2 first round RBs and a second Round TE.

This is about to be the fullest draft in history. They did the exact same shite trying to hype RG3 as a possibility over Andrew Luck. Everyone knows who is going #1 and they’re worried about ratings. Media is trying to hype Tua to build suspense. Burrow is Tua’s new daddy.

And yet Burrow is the most accurate QB in college football history.

Interesting take.

Let me ask you this, would you rather have a guy that's already reached his ceiling and a great one or a guy that hasn't and could be great, with a long history of injuries?

Imo, it's just a copout and an excuse that he's been searching for and changed numerous times. It's ok to just say you like Tua better. It's not a singular opinion. No need to try to rationalize it numerous times with different reasons. It make you look ignorant.

Burrow is better than Tua. How is it not obvious to these people?
