Greg Cosell from NFL films definitively says he would take Burrow. And that is acknowledging that Tua is a really really good QB.
And the reason is that his intangibles are elite: the ability to see the whole field all at once, the ability to make extremely accurate throws, the ability to throw his receivers open, the ability to fit balls into extremely tight windows, the willingness to take calculated chances, the willingness of his players to ball out for him, the mental toughness to pull a win out of what looks like a spiraling loss, the ability to say the right thing at the right time, his EXTREME competitiveness/ desire to win, his ability to win (like he did against Clemson) when you take away the strength of his game (the center of the field) and he beats you by winning with his weakness (the long ball on the edges), his willingness to play like he's at war, his ability to throw on the run, his ability to run the ball successfully and athletically, his strength pre snap, post snap and adjusting his game in the face of adversity, his reputation among teammates, coaches and his adversaries for great intelligence
He does not have the arm Mahomes does. But he literally checks every other box. Everyone says he's the best prospect since Mahomes, and before that Luck.
When you find a guy like that you just take him and start by protecting and equipping him. That is the prime directive involved in literally every FA and draft decision. Give him a great offensive line and great receivers. Then look at defense. This would require at least one really good defender and one really good offensive lineman in FA to start, along with making sure AJ Green is here.
Trading back for any amount of draft picks would be the last thing we would want to do.
Another great post, great one here 3wt. Seeing the same thing, lets bring back AJ on an incentive laden contract cause Joe wants
him here. Bring in a Guard, Ryan Glasgow's brother Graham seems the most likely for us and a linebacker that can cover and tackle.
Just heard Alec Ogletree got cut by the Giants as a cap casualty and seems the most likely at this point. Glasgow/Ogletree in FA.
We can easily afford it, then go get weapons and future replacements for our good players in the Draft would be my plan.
Again, very well said on Burrow 3wt. This is a rare QB with rare skills and the one weakness people give Mahomes is his pocket
passing which is not much of a weakness, but Burrow could be the better pocket passer of the two. Mahomes best throws are on
the run. Burrow can do both, not near as strong of an arm but he could be the better pocket passer.
Joe Burrow the Photographer.
