I thought it would be cool to look back in a couple years at this poll. Mahomes has two years of experience on Burrow. Lamar Jackson is amazing right now (he's healthy). Will it last? He's really young and tremendously gifted. Mahomes is in a great spot to compete for another super bowl next year. I would totally take Mahomes of the three right now. Super Bowl MVP and regular season MVP in back to back years vs. an unknown.
I think it's crazy that we were this lucky to have the choice between these 3 dynamic quarterbacks. We were never in position to draft Goff, so I don't think that's a good QB to compare Burrow to. Obviously he'll be compared to Tua.
Burrow is billed as a future top 10, possibly top 5 QB in this league. Lamar and Mahomes are definitely in the top 5. The fact that we had the chance to draft all three makes me want to compare the 3 in terms of their career success.
It looks like we missed the boat by drafting Ross over Mahomes, but we don't know how good Burrow is yet. The optimistic side of me wants Burrow to be so good that it makes up for us passing on Mahomes--but the odds are not good.
I like that Joe's just thrown in with no preseason. Can't wait to see what he's made of.
