"But I do think when I look at it, I go Joe Burrow and Tua have an advantage I think over guys like Jordan Love - who's very raw, and was in a very simple offense. Justin Herbert - not a very complicated offense and creativity there up in Oregon.
You know, Joe Burrow got coached by a guy that's an NFL offensive coordinator in Joe Brady, who worked under Sean Payton. So I think he's gonna have a good feel for how offenses are run in the NFL, and that's kinda the same logic I would use with Tua. ... I thing those are the two guys I would favor in that conversation more than the others because of what they came from.
The good thing for (Burrow) is he played a lot of football the last two years. ... He was in a pro-style system. He's been around and played against a lot of pro players. That's the benefit of playing in SEC football. Pretty much every team you play every week's got a few professional defensive linemen, a few pros in the secondary. I think he'll adjust very quickly because he's very talented and smart."

Have to agree with the other dim Simms, Burrow and Tua for sure are the most likely to to play well initially of the rookie QB's.
