Stop you're making excuses and not looking at the individual play. 2018 Tua Tagovailoa caused him to be the #1 overall QB coming into the 2019 season. In 2019 he was alot more pedestrian allowing the run game screen game and WRs make alot of his plays as described in that PFF video.
Joe's 2019 play has been better than 2018 Tua he is setting SEC records for completion percentage yards and Touchdowns. His offensive line is mediocre hes been pressured on 31% of his drop backs. His average air yards are 9.2 that means he is pushing thr ball down the field. Around 10% of Burrows completions have been screen plays compared to Tua's 25%.
Tua is a great prospect and if he didnt have the injury history he does it would be a close battle who would go #1 OA but Joe Burrow's season in the SEC has been spectacular.
I haven't made an excuse for anyone. You said it all in your last ten words. He's had one great season, one!
Hopefully, he will have many more in Cincy, but he won't have an NFL coordinator drawing up plays against college guys when he's playing for us. If anything he will be handicapped considering the miserable lot of coaches that has been assembled in Cincy.
