Burrow:
63% completion percentage
463 passing yards
5 passing TDs
0 INTs
58 rushing yards
1 rushing TD

Lawrence:
49% completion percentage
234 passing yards
0 passing TDs
0 INTs
49 rushing yards
1 rushing TD

One big difference is Burrow is 3 years older than Lawrence.
If that matters, Lawrence has more time to grow into an elite QB whereas Burrow is already there.
And Lawrence is likely entering the draft when he's 21 years old, so he'll be two years younger than Burrow when going into the NFL.
If they play to the same age, Lawrence will have two extra years in the NFL than Burrow.

So basically, if I'm going off who is best right now, it's Burrow. Burrow is clearly ready for the NFL.
Lawrence has a sky high ceiling and has been very good, but let's see how 2020 season goes for Lawrence.

Yep.

Right now, side by side, i'd take Burrow all day. Lawrence will mature and continue to develop and be the #1 pick next year. 

Three full years of experience, at least 1 NC, 21 yrs old with room to grow in the NFL...someone is going to get a very good QB next year as well.
