Problem is Tua won't ever last a full season. He breaks too easily. I'd take Burrow 100%.

Tua. Burrow has 2 more years of college football experience.

meh, they have about equal game experience, which is far more important than how long they've been in a program.

We never saw Tua play bad football

Tua was 10/25 with 2 picks against UGA last year. We've definitely see him play bad football. Didn't have a good game against State last year either, and despite his big plays, he made some really poor decisions against LSU this year.

We can't say that about Burrow.

sure, but Burrow hasn't had a subpar game since Alabama last year, which was 20 games ago

If Tua would've stayed in college 5 years he'd be regarded as better than Burrow.

Based on what. It is nearly impossible to be better than what Burrow was this year.

And it's really difficult to look past Tua's durability issues

It's not all about game experience. You know that. Practice time is significant.

Injuries happen. Burrow can get hurt anytime like anyone else.

Well according to this board, LSU had better WRs, OLine, tight end, running back, and coordinators. Yet the offenses for both teams for basically even

Ifs and buts....

If Tua stayed healthy

If Tua had beaten Clemson

If Tua got better at this or that...if,if,if...

Love Tua, will pull for him to have a long healthy career.

But their are no ifs or buts with Burrow.

Burrow is just better mentally and so far is much more durable.

Burrow has proven his worth in all facets of the game.

I didn't say it was. I said game experience is much more valuable than how long someone has practiced with a team. I think most would agree. Otherwise, you'd be saying that Myles Brennan has the same experience as Tua, which would be ridiculous.

Both were phenomenal college QBs but the nod goes to Burrow.

It was asked and I gave my opinion. If you don't like it kiss it. I'm happy y'all won but I still think Tua is better. Just because you won a national championship doesn't mean I'm going to kiss ya arse.

You mean like how Tua has 3 years to practice with the team he actually played with versus how Burrow only had 2?

I love Tua, but I’m taking Burrow. Has Tom Brady like moxie, tough as nails. Best season I’ve ever seen

I think Physically they are pretty even, both as accurate as I’ve ever seen. I think Tua has a better arm and quicker release. But I would take Burrow because as much as I love Tua Sometimes Tua can be baited into an INT. Burrow is as Smart as anyone who has ever played CFB.

Burrow has had 5 years of college ball and practice time to become mentally and physically mature. Tua had 3. That's a fact. And, Tua accomplished the same but a Heisman in a shorter amount of time than Burrow.

This is all about LSU won a national championship but you're still insecure. Go to a psychiatrist about that. But, you'll never be Alabama. Never.

When it comes to Burrow everyone understands he needed 5 years to develop into the player he is. But, Tua gets no sort of understanding. That's bullshite. To even compare Tua and Burrow means you know Tua is better because their college experiences and amount of time in college are so disparate.
