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.

Somewhat? No. It was staggeringly low.
