Ryan Clark - Joe Burrow is a Better QB than Tua

I just meant hypothetically. I realize that wouldnt happen because such a thing would mean the Pats are in trouble. But any team with an established OL vs a team like Miami. Just saying when Burrow starts viewing the world from his back...what will people be saying?

The problem is which team in the top 10 draft picks has those. The Dolphins have 3-4 1st round draft picks, and depending on where the Steelers finish with a backup QB the dolphins could potentially have 2 top 10 draft picks. The Bengals, Redskins, and dolphins are the likely places he would get drafted to. HTTR can probably speak for the status of the redskins, but the other two are going through complete overhaul and are looking to sell most of their assets to build from the ground up. Point is both Tua and burrow seem to be heading to bad teams unless someone in the 11-15 draft picks trades up.

"Analysts" with ties to a school should not be asked to talk about that school during a discussion about an upcoming game. Ryan Clark should not give his opinion on anything LSU related, along with Marcus Spears. Greg McElroy with Bama. Galloway and Herbstreit with aOSU. None of these guys, not matter how professional they try to be---are going to be bias towards their school. Of course, Clark is going to say Burrow > Tua, it's not true, but as an LSU alumni he has to say it. Ryan Clark should not have taken the bait. He knew it would riled up Bama fans. Very few people outside of LSU country would take Burrows over Tua.

Herbie, Galloway, and GMac aren't really biased towards their schools at all. Galloway had this weird dislike towards Bama back in 14-15 but all three are good analysts and they're good at hiding their biases imo.

I like Spears as well but he's ride or die LSU all day and while that's cool and all, that type of stuff should be reserved for local radio. I keep bringing up 2015 because Clark and Spears were so adamant that LSU was gonna beat Alabama but I mean come on, Alabama was clearly better going into that game.

Well said. And I get he loves his old digs...but he is carrying baggage no doubt.
 
In ten years we will know whether Burrow has had a better NFL career than Tua. Predicting quarterback futures is a c**pshoot. Was Ryan Leaf a better NFL QB than Aaron Rodgers (late first round) or Joe Montana or Brady? Health will play a big factor. If Tua and Burrows stay healthy they will both have great careers. It helps if you are drafted by a team with a great OL. Who knows how good Plunkett could have been if he had not had his knees destroyed while the Patriots OL played bull fighter? He still won a Superbowl at the end of his career (with duh Raiders).
 
So a part of me thinks Burrow is as legit as advertised but another part of me thinks a lot of this is the newness of the system and lack of tape for defenses to catch up.

Although LSU has been saying for years they were going to involve the offense this is the first year they actually accomplished it. It’s almost like busting out a wishbone (just in terms of how unprepared other teams were for LSU airing and spreading it out) I Think there is a factor to that that is allowing him to look like the second coming.

As most have said, time will tell. I heard Ryan Clark (I think it was him) say the reason Burrow is the better of the 2 is because his anticipation which was odd to me because I have always felt what makes Tua so special is how well he anticipates. Shows what I know

I hear ya, but I wish BSPN would not put their guys in situations like that. Don't ask guys, on air, about Alabama/L8U if they have ties to either school.

That was stunning. It's Tua's outstanding strongest point. Everyone's pointed it out - analysts, former NFL QBs, rival coaches, everybody. When he came out with that and the YAC stuff, I realized he was just beating his ignorant gums together. He's obviously not watched much of Tua at work at all...
 
The only thing that might make a team think twice about Tua is durability - which is of his own making to some degree.

Can someone tell me the differences between our offense and L8U's? How much more often are they throwing deep balls this year? I've watched all of our games but only 3 of L8U's. To me, however, their offense appears very similar to ours. They are throwing short, or intermediate throws and letting the WRs do the majority of the work. I'm not trying to take away from Burrow in the least, but I am trying to understand where this notion of him being better than Tua is actually coming from. Before Sark came in this year, Tua was dealing dimes on bombs. Burrow was never doing that before...

That's one of the things I'm curious to see: Both teams does same thing and likely to see defenses to take away quick passes. Alabama can adjust and has several options.. such as putting all 5 receivers on field. LSU can't do that. I don't think LSU can keep up after adjusting scheme. Brady is good, but I don't know.
 
It really is pointless to try and compare which one will do better in the NFL. It could depend on which team they play for.
I don't see Tua as injury prone. He's had a couple of unfortunate plays in 3 seasons. That doesn't make him injury prone. Burrow could suffer an acl injury Saturday. Anything can happen. I hope it's an injury free game though.
