Stop comparing Joe Burrow to Dalton

Tom Brady - 0 good seasons
Ben Roethlisberger - 1 good season
Drew Brees - 0 good seasons
Russell Wilson - 1 good season
Phillip Rivers - 1 good season
Eli Manning - 1 good season
Matt Stafford - 1 good season
Matt Ryan - 0 good seasons

You can go back to look at guys like Joe Montana and Steve Young if you want to go back that far too.

I don't think the number of "good" seasons a QB has at the college level is a good predictor of NFL success, and in Burrow's case, he hasn't had just a good season, he has had the best season in the history of college football at the QB position. The best season of the guys listed above doe not even come close to the numbers Burrow has put up this season in the best conference in college football.

I agree with your premise, but Drew Brees WAS Purdue football. He finished 4th and 3rd in Hiesman voting, and owned multiple Big 10 and NCAA records. Some of which have just recently been broken. Brees was a very good college QB.
