Joe is good no doubt but you’re acting like he’s light years better than Tua which just isn’t true.

Agreed completely here.

But for the substantial health concerns with Tua, you would have a QB with two plus seasons of excellent production vs. the one season of mediocre at best production vs. one season of excellent production.

Those mixed results would leave scouts and GMs wondering why such a difference?

The talent wasn't overly different around him.

He is the same guy.

Is he a system QB?  What happens if he gets into a system that is dramatically different from what allowed him to excel last year at LSU.  Given that the head coach came from the Rams, I think they have a QB friendly scheme, but who knows whether or not it can have the same effect on Burrow that Brady had for him last year?

I think both will be very good QBs, and I don't knock either guy.

But I hear those questions now, and I have heard too many analysts say that but for the injuries, Tua would be considered the top QB for me to dismiss that.
