Doug Gottlieb: “If you just judge a guy based on his own personal talent and attributes, I think most people would say that if Tua wasn’t hurt he’d be the number one guy. Why are we convincing ourselves that Burrow is better? When you’re told a guy is crazy accurate, has a better arm, has equally good quarterback feel, is younger, and has more upside, why are you convincing yourself otherwise?? We just love Joe Burrow, love the Joe Namath-like story, and are blown away that LSU finally had a legit passing game.” (Full Video Above)
Listen to Doug Gottlieb explain why he believes Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should be the number one pick in the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft, and not LSU’s Heisman Trophy and National Championship winning quarterback Joe Burrow.
Burrow had one of the greatest offensive seasons in the history of college football and is nearly unanimously expected to be the number one overall selection in April’s Draft, but many are wondering if the same would have been said if Tagovailoa didn’t have any sort of injury history coming into the Combine.
Check out the video above as Gottlieb details why he thinks Tagovailoa is more talented than Burrow and a prospect with a lot more upside as well, as Gottlieb believes fans are overrating Burrow simply because of the legend of his ‘story’ from backup at Ohio State to Sugar Bowl hero.
