As to the pick and the debate... once again everyone who covers football rates Lawrence higher even after the National Championship it was stated if Lawrence was eligible he'd still be the number one pick.

I think both are good QBs but I view one in the Joe Flacco mold, he can have that one magical season that makes everyone ask is he elite and win a championship but then he'll have a bunch of just average type seasons. Remember, his first year in LSU was pedestrian at best, truly elite QBs raise the talent level around them even with a bad system...he didn't do that. Was graded a 4th rounder and compared to Dalton and Carr. 


So in AFC North terms...that would be Flacco, yes I think Burrow will probably win a ring here, but it will be a one time magical kinda season and then a lot of almosts.

Lawrence on the flip side reminds me more of the Ben mold in the AFC North. Plays down at times to bad opponents, but on the final drives he makes the plays you need to win the games and every year is in the playoffs and in the hunt for a title. When Burrow was at LSU his first year, Lawrence was winning a title. Burrow has the best season he could ever possibly have, and meets...Lawrence in the title game. If college football happens this year...guess who will probably be in the title game 3rd time in a row...yup Lawrence. 

So do you want one title and a lot of questions or a decade of deep playoff runs and a couple of rings??

I'll take the decade of wins and frustrating ugly wins at times, but constantly being there in the title discussion versus the one year run and then a lot of what we had with Dalton. Get there and go home.

Funny you compare Burrow to Flacco...Lawrence and Flacco are actually the exact same height. Both physically gifted freaks, with big arms, etc, but that doesn’t always guarantee much at the next level. We’ve seen a bunch of these really big QB’s flame out over the years.

I see Burrow more of a Tom Brady type QB. Not the most talented, but has ice in his veins, and will outwork everyone else. Which is why he made such a huge jump from 2018 to 2019. He worked at it.
