Who projects better at the next level?

Burrow or Tua? Let’s try to be as objective as we can. Take off the crimson and purple glasses.

Who do you feel will have a better pro career? What attributes will give them the opportunity to have success? What areas will cause them to struggle?

I honestly feel that Burrow is better suited for the NFL than Tua.

• He’s shown the ability to read defenses and make checks at the line of scrimmage to put his team into better positions.

• He can manipulate the pocket and avoid pressure with his feet, all while keeping his eyes down field to deliver an accurate ball.

• Is more athletic than he looks. Can run is necessary, but he goes through his progressions before taking off.

• Is tough as hell.

• Hasn’t shown to be injury prone.

• Has a strong enough arm to make all of the throws.

While Tua also possess many of these same attributes, I feel that most of Tua’s success is had when he is able to make his pre-snap read on the defense and get rid of the ball quickly, to a predetermined WR. If anything on the defense changes from pre-snap to the snap, it messes Tua up and he is more apt to take off and run. This doesn’t translate very well to the next level, in my opinion. He’s also had injury issues in the past.

I’m sure some of you will downvote and that’s fine, but I do think Burrow’s game is more suitable to the NFL than Tua’s. I’m sure they will both be drafted and have an opportunity to show us how accurate, or inaccurate, my assessments on them actually are.
