I don't know why anyone gets up in arms about arguing this lol. It's a fun debate.
Personally, I was wrong about Herbert at the draft. I had it Burrow 1.... Tua 12.... Herbert 56 in terms of preference (#'s not to be taken literally... more to indicate the separation between them). I just didn't think he had it in him mentally to run a team at the NFL level, whereas Burrow was/is a born leader. Turns out he's more than capable. He's not just a RAS champion with physical gifts that don't translate to the field. I'd be ecstatic with him if I were a Chargers fan.
Still absolutely thrilled with Burrow. There's no comparison, especially not for this team. You get an Ohio boy who doesn't come with the same silly Palmer questions of where his heart really lies, is he comfortable here, is he planning to leave, etc. and I take him over Herbert 100% of the time. There's total stability with Burrow, which has significant value in itself. Burrow is a godsend for this franchise on and off the field.
