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.
Thoughts?

Not reading all that bullshite.
Tua, it’s obvious and this is a dumb thread.
Burrow is gonna be better than Fromm though

Greg McElroy said the same stuff about himself over Cam.

Right now pro scouts feel it's Tua. It's a long season, though. A lot can happen.

I don’t know if you can really say that. Kirby handcuffs Fromm and their offense. Fromm can be better than people think but he just can’t showcase it at UGA.

Lol, you’re going to call the thread dumb but you refuse to read it all?

I have seen at least one mock draft having tua coming 1. I would think many look at Tua like the Seattle and New Orleans guys. Those are pretty good comparisons.

Tua. Although both will be higher round picks imo

Wouldn't be shocked if Fromm has the best pro career

Let’s see how the donkey does against Florida, shall we?
LSU has yet to play a defense with anything resembling a pulse.

Did anybody think Brady, Brees, or Rodgers would be the best NFL QB’s from their college careers?
The only things I know for sure is that taller is better at the Pro level, but not absolute, and you have to be able to place the ball in a very small window. It’s hard to judge that when you’re throwing to open receivers in college.
But to answer your question, they will both be rich even if they fail, so cheers to both of them.

Isn't Tua better in all physical measurables?
That said Joe is a winner and that's my QB

Well, we’ve now played teams with a pulse and it seems that some other folks are starting to lean Joe over Tua...but this was a dumb thread.

He actually played pretty good in his limited action. Had one loss but in every other game did pretty good.

I’m just going to shamelessly bump this for this of you who gave me a hard time about it.
