It is hard to go back in time and think of another QB that has went from somewhat obsure to #1 pick.. yes he has moved to #1 QB pick at same time some think there is no way you can;t draft him over trading back and adding either Herbert or Tua... I don't understand the other side of the argument that you can;t look at the other QBs plus what else you can get with extra picks.. I am not putting Burrow as an untouchable #1 and I am not alone out there with those that study and understand football better than us as a whole.   So if we trade him and still get a top flight QB and extra picks that add to this team I can understand.  If the Bengals decide his value is better than what is offered than ok.. 

And before Kyler Murray's season started, he wasn't even a lock to win the starting job at Oklahoma, much less get drafted by the NFL. Is that a recent enough of a rise of coming out of no where to end up top pick in the draft?

LOL. Heisman or not every player is a rolling of the dice. And your stretching bigtime by even mentioning those 2 qbs as comparables to Burrows. Tebow? Not even close. Manziel? Closer because he put up good numbers as well, but wasn't he an alcoholic? Or have a drug problem? Or at the very least I'd say he had a poor work ethic. None of those seem to be an issue from all we have heard about Burrrows.
