What is Joe Burrow’s superior trait to Kenny Pickett?

This is the problem with QB evaluation, people keep looking for tangible traits, its not that easy.

Alot of guys can make a throw but can the QB see the throws.  3rd and 9 and 1st read is covered, why does Brady throw it where he does whereas a bad QB tries a different throw.  

Different guys definitely have more tools but the processing is the biggest ability.

 

 

This times 1000. Chad Pennington survived in the league because of that trait despite having a noodle for an arm.

burrow has superior confidence, its very close to the cocky line.

Yup, it takes that 'cockiness' to succeed in the NFL.  The BMOC status is different.  That's a celebrity status-type thing.  Being wanted by every sorority girl at the school doesn't make you a great QB.  KNOWING you are the best QB in the country makes you a great QB.

Intangible wise, Corral has an edge over Pickett in the draft.  Also has an edge with athleticism. Thing is, people are really into Pickett's processing speed and ball placement.  

Burrow had the intangibles, processing, arm, pre-snap awareness, placement, & pocket awareness.  He just had virtually every category you want checked, well, checked.

I don't get the talk of Pickett's processing speed. When he has to go past his first read he seems slow to me. That's concerning for a fifth year college player.

I can agree it can be concerning but the question that the evaluators have to answer is was it because he was slow to process or because he knew his OL could give him ample time.  The little bit I watched of him his O-line seemed to do a really good job.

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
