He makes a solid point.

He's just saying shite to get a reaction and listeners. He doesn't actually believe some of the shite he spews

I've been saying it the whole time. Tua was elite as a freshman. Great qb with bad injury luck. Burrow had one great year.

That is one of the dumbest takes I've ever read

Lets just leave out the fact that Burrow is only two years older, has the size you want from an NFL quarterback, and threw less interceptions and more touchdowns per pass attempt than Tua.
Plus he didnt destroy his body in college and have surgery on both ankles that no one really knows the long term ramifications of.
That says nothing about him being injury prone going forward.
To each his own though.

shite. Cowherd praised Tua? Now the kid will be out of the league in 3 years.

Cowherd has his opinion. I like Tua but they bring different skills sets in my opinion. Burrow thrived when pressured this year. His completion percentage actually went up when pressured. Tua benefited from a clean pocket the majority of his career at Alabama. Not his fault Alabama had a good line. To evaluate Tua you got to look at the latter portion of the 2018 season when he started to play stronger defenses his completion percentage did go down somewhat. That shouldn't put him down though because he was injuried during that time in 2018 as well. Tua has been hurt a lot. Burrow on the other had an is a lot more durable. Remember during the UCF game he took a earhole shot and was down for like 5 minutes. Most QB's would have called it a day. He came back and threw four touchdowns. You cant go wrong with either of them but Burrow is just so dang tough.

I would take Burrow over injury plagued Tua all day long.

I've seen Tua compared to Brees before:
quote:
Tagovailova is the most talented QB1 in the class with a game that’s eerily similar to a left-handed version of Drew Brees. Despite an injury history that could make some decision-makers pause, Tagovailova’s A-plus arm talent, athleticism and intangibles make him an intriguing option as a franchise quarterback.
But then, in the very same paragraph they say this about Burrow:
quote:
Burrow is coming off the best season by a quarterback in college football history. He is a high IQ playmaker with outstanding rhythm as a passer. He throws with superb touch, timing and anticipation. He also flashes impressive movement skills as a runner.
LINK
THAT actually describes Drew Brees. Pocket awareness, accuracy, timing, and the IQ to quickly read a defense.
Tua's a better runner (I know, I know, "But he wuz HERT!!1!") with a stronger arm than either Burrow or Brees.
The real question is, whose fingers taste the best?

Pretty dumb assessment to draft one over the other. Both are great, but if your gonna split hairs to draft one....
What was the competition at qb for Tua vs Joe at OSU, that lead to one playing early and other sitting?
How did they play vs TOP competition?
Who was injury prone over their careers?
Who has more size?
If your basis to draft one of two elite QBs is...One played earlier than the other...well, you show you aren't close to being a GM making draft analysis and investing millions.

Burrow is less than 1 1/2 years older than Tua. Dumb !

Tua is made of glass!

Burrow has a step on your throat twice killer DNA like Brady. Clutch. Those traits are rare in a qb and can't be taught. Give me that dude.

He may not be wrong. But his opinion is greatly discredited because he's Colin Cowherd, a noted troll and talker who says things just to get attention.
If an NFL team believes this, I can understand it, too.
But if I were an NFL team, I'd be wary of that hip giving out again. That's not a common injury, and Tua has already proven he's more fragile than Burrow.

Kiss of death for Tua. Cowherd couldn't be more wrong on everything he predicts. He and Skip Bayless are absolute curses.
