Let's dive into the skill sets of Palmer and Burrow coming out of college. Then based on college only to be fair, pick one if both were available in 2020.

I will start with just a few comments, but hold my choice for later.

Palmer has a stronger arm.
Burrow is more mobile in and out of the pocket.

Let's have some fun, but at same time get a read on both QB's strengths and weaknesses coming out of college.

Palmer was no slouch with his mobility. I think Joe had a great write up here with the similarities between them
