Burrow 590/857 68.8% 8102 yards 71 TD's 11 Int's
Lawrence 509/767 66.4% 6711 yards 66 TD's 12 Int's
Burrow also has the edge in rushing yards (710 to 691) and rushing TD's (11 to 9).
On top of that, Burrow has done it in a tougher conference and done it in a pro style offense. Lawrence has better physical traits, but a lot of the hype with him was that he was good in year one and should only improve. He has really only improved slightly in year 2.
Finally someone with the sense to see the question and post actual thoughts and rebuttals.
What you say about Lawrence is true, but the point is that he did improve. The numbers are similar but I give the edge to Lawrence because Lawrence has done it for longer, which speaks of sustained success.
If not for the year he had, Burrow may not even be in discussion.
