We only got to see Healthy Tua in a big game Once. And that was against UGA in the National Title. He was hurt in every other big game he played in. So Healthy Tua is kind of an unknown against top competition.

I gotta admit - I’d go with Burrow as the better QB (tougher to face)
Burrow has enough athleticism to hang with Tua, but Tua doesn’t have the decision making that Burrow has.

The magic pineapple just doesn’t have the physical toughness to complete at the highest level. He’s fragile and can’t keep from being injured. He is soft and can’t take the physicality of the game. He is very talented but again, fragile. Both ankles, his knee and hip are already damaged goods and how much that effects his mentally is a question that must be answered. If he thought that college players fricked him up, the pro’s are going to prolapse his Hawaiian pineapple loving arse. There has to be a real discussion as to if, after all the injuries, he still has the heart, desire and stones to risk life and limb playing professional football or if he will move on to his second love, ballet. My bet he trades in his helmet and cleats for a tu tu and some pink slippers.

It's difficult to say, at least at the collegiate level.
Burrow definitely seems on track to be the better NFL QB, but you can never tell with these things. They could both very well end up being busts.
Burrow certainly had a better season this year than Tua has had in his career.
However, Burrow was in his 4th(or is it 5th?) year this year, and this was his only great season. Experience really matters at the QB position and I think it showed in Burrow's performance this season.
Right now, I'd say Burrow clearly is the tougher opponent.
Tua was playing outstanding football since he first showed up though, which could point to him having more natural talent.
I think it's impossible to say which one performs better in their pro career. These idolized college QBs have a recent trend of not going far in the NFL.

Finally a good post.

Both are eerily similar. I think skill wise there’s no real difference. Both also have the same issues. Refusing to let a play die and just throw it away. Both are extremely confident in their ability but Joe has height and size. Can’t coach that and that’s why he will be drafted ahead of Tua.

Burrow went Undefeated and played almost mistake free football against tough competition for 15 games with a little less talent than Tua has

Well Clemson beat a healthy tua but couldn’t be an injured burrow...

Tuna did not hurt his hand or elbow, so I don’t think his ankle factored into this play. He lost the game here.

Joe. He’s tougher. Tua is a fantastic player and human being, but he’s injury prone. Which is unfortunate for him. He deserves to be successful.

Hard hits give Burrow a hard on. Hitting him just makes him play harder.

Can't really go wrong with either IMO.

even injured a good part of his career, Tua is the pass efficiency record holder

Joey Buttcrack is the very definition of a system qb. Ill take tiny Tua over Buttcrack.

Joe Burrow 2019 > Tua 2018 >>>>>>>>> Tua 2019

a garbage TD to go within a possession
How's his TD at the end of a game any different than Burrow's at the end of half off a turnover?
A: It's not.

Here's the fun part. No one's opinion matters.
We gon' find out in the NFL.
I have my suspicions on who will have the better career but let's just watch the show.

If they played in a Flag football league...it's easily TUA.
Dude was the best 7 on 7 QB I have ever seen! No joke.
His accuracy on a SLANT was remarkable.

Exactly. Burrow had the best season in the history of CFB. Case closed in terms of college play.

Pro vs College career ? I would take Tua in College because of CF secondaries and his ability to leave the pocket (when healthy). I would take Burrow in the Pro game because of his talent to throw in the pocket. I think both will have average pro careers because of their limitations.
