People question his arm strength, yet he's rated the best at both downfield throws and efficiency under duress.

Now, if you just like Herbert better, because you like that he has unquestionably the strongest arm in the draft, is fairly athletic for such a big-bodied guy, and has the most snaps as a starter, I can respect that.  There's just no need to create any "false knocks" on Joe Burrow, in order to justify a personal preference.

They brought in Brady from the Saints to be their passing game coordinator at LSU. I'm guessing that helps. Burrow was good last year, but not this good. 16 TD, 5 Int on the year. He wouldn't have been talked about as a #1 pick.

Urban Meyer is on the record as saying that Burrow had a D3 arm. Like I said though, he likely improved it since then. Didn't he go work with a throwing guru?
