Burrow had more then one year, but he is like Trubisky in the fact that prior to the season he wasn't listed as the top QB, he was 3rd if not 4th even 5th in some circles. He is coming off a year in 2018 with a 57% completion rate before stepping up this season.

I just really worry this guy is David Carr, JaMarcus Russell, etc.

One year of great success, I'd just prefer to wait and get a guy who has started for several years.

Trubisky wasn’t a great prospect he was a risky one you were betting on the upside. I’ve been skeptical of Burrow but I’m three games in on tape and he is going to come out with a grade higher than anyone outside of Luck/Ryan/Winston in the last 10 years is my guess.

I’m been a Young preacher but the more tape I watch the more I’m becoming a Burrow believer.

He might be listed as a better prospect now, but as I said above he wasn't rated as the top QB till near the end of this season and Tua's injury helped lock him in.

It also worries me that the guy couldn't beat out J.T. Barrett or Dwayne Haskins for the starting job. If those two are both better then he is, then he isn't worth the top pick over all.
