Sounds like Dobson has spent his post NFL career in a river in Egypt, just waiting for that tryout call.....

I'm so uninformed. I'm catching up on guys who may be in our range. Whilst doing so, I saw a mock with Jeudy going to Tampa. Talk about setting yourself up for success. Brady did himself a solid.
Also, what's the word on Herbert. Read that he has a great arm and not much else, yet several mocks have us taking him in the first.

I’m not sure if Burrow will have the career Manning had or the career that Lawrence is projected to have, but you should remember that LSU’s offense hadn’t moved out of the 90s yet in beginning through the middle of the 2018 campaign. They effectively still has the training wheels on him. I do agree with you, however, that he’s in for a bit of a surprise in the pros. Especially if he’s drafted by Cincy. He will be under significantly more pressure than he was at LSU. But the kid is deadly accurate and his anticipation is top notch. Those are two skills you can’t teach.I assume you're including the bowl game in 2018, because he was really bad against Bama that year. They played Rice, Arkansas, A&M, and UCF in those four games and the A&M stats are hugely inflated because it went to a million OTs. Hardly murderer's row.
Tua also had great talent around him but we're talking about comparing Burrow to Peyton Manning, not the rest of his draft class.
I've liked LSU since I was a kid (no real reason) so I watch most of their games, I'm not pulling the claim he was bad in 2018 out of nothing. I have questions about his arm strength and how he'll react once things start going badly, and I feel like the Bengals aren't a great match for a quarterback like him because Green and Ross are vertical threats.
Tua's got the injury issues so he's no sure thing but if not for those I'd pick him over Burrow. I think Burrow's a totally fine QB prospect but comparing him to Peyton Manning is absolutely bonkers. (Maybe Eli, that's probably a decent comparison.) The only QBs of the last twenty years who were comparable to Manning were Luck and now Lawrence.
You be the judge..
Exactly. I personally don’t even think he’s a first round QB, but these drafts are all about “potential.” I think he’s a “potential” bust. I’d much rather Tua, Hurts or Love.Wow. That's a resounding no. Another year, another QB prospect unjustly hyped up for the draft. What is so mystifying about QBs that mock draft elitists want to gamble with such bad odds?
What would a trade up for tua even look like? I would imagine they'd fork over the #23 pick at least and multiple other picks.Exactly.

Why? Jordan love cannot start an NFL game right now. He needs to be developed.I really don't like Herbert, but I love Love. I'm not sure if I can explain it.
