I'd argue Burrow had played a much better schedule at that point as he played a ranked Texas, Auburn, Florida, and then Bama. He played well in all of those games as well. 



It's interesting more people are finally starting to accept that Burrow could simply be better than Tua, not just because of Tua's injuries either. I mentioned Daniel Jeremiah saying that and he is not alone in that take. The problem with scouting is people don't like to admit their early beliefs on guys were wrong. People who pushed "Tank for Tua" and proclaimed him the next coming won't easily move off that position that someone could be better. We could see a similar situation with Lawrence next year because of how strongly entrenched people were his freshman year about him being the best prospect in X year. 

You are referring to 2019 only. Tua got to the National Championship twice, winning once.
As I've already stated, Tua had a better resume up to Nov 16, 2019 due to the years prior IMO.
My opinion won't change on Tua not being the top QB prospect before he went down to injury on Nov 16.

The way I analyze prospects is different than others, I understand that. I put more stock into what have you done in the previous years than some/most do. I realize that can be wrong at times, but I've mostly seen it to be a good indicator of success vs having a single dominant year.

With that said, Burrow elevated his game so well over the course of 2019 that he deserves to go 1st overall and worthy of that even if Tua had been fully healthy all year.
