Mike Tannenbaum on ESPN just now rated Justin Herbert ahead of both Burrow and Tua as NFL prospects. Also said as of today he'd give Tua a slight edge over Burrow in draft grade, but its virtually a toss-up. Please. Bobby Hebert says he and Herbert are distantly related, btw.
By every metric, Burrow is a better passer. I don't get the love for Tua. He throws it -2 yards and Judy or someone takes it 80. That shit aint happening in the NFL. Burrow was throwing into 7-8 DB sets all day and lighting them up. This isn't some gimmick. This is a real passing clinic. It is a statistical fat that if the pass is 10+ downfield, Joe is the most accurate QB in the nation. How in the fuck do you not want that in the NFL?
Herbert doesn’t sound right. I just call him Justin Hebert. Problem fix’t! Tua and Hebert are different QBs. Burrow is the man this year! That’s all.
Don't know where you're from, but that happens in South LA. My mother's family tree, Prejean, has some branches that spell it Prejeant.
Tua is going to be a huge flop. Think Matt Leinhart. Just look at his release, it's long and slow. His balls have too much of an arc on them and those passes will get picked off in the NFL. The only great thing about Tua is that he throws the long ball really well. He has already shown the propensity to get injured so there's that.
I stopped trying to predict who will be a good QB in the NFL and who will not. It just doesn't make sense sometimes, I will call it the Brady\Brees affect. Tell a guy he isn't the guy enough and you make him the guy. Seems that is what Urban Meyer did to Joe Burrow, if you look at a bunch of the greatest ever they were pretty much written off by the NFL.
