Colin Cowherd: “You’re all caught up in the quarterback, but it’s all about where they land and if they get the right roster and the right coach. It didn’t matter if they were tall or had a big arm, YOU CAN’T OVERCOME CRAP. You’re all caught up in Joe Burrow, but you can’t overcome Cincinnati, not even Carson Palmer could and he was a better prospect than Burrow… The kid I keep looking at is Jordan Love. He’s going to end up on someone like Indianapolis, with the right coach, right GM, and great offensive line… Josh Allen was a circus and a mess at Wyoming and got to the playoffs with Sean McDermott, who is considered one of the best coaches… Jordan Love is is going to drop down to 7 or 8, go to someone like Indianapolis, and he’s going to pop. He’s going to fall to a better team, a better GM, a better coach, a better o-line, and a better roster… I would bet a little money on Jordan Love having the best NFL career; I would not be shocked at all.” (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he believes former Utah State quarterback Jordan Love will have a better NFL career than NFL Draft media darlings Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, and Justin Herbert.
Love would likely have been a top 5 pick had he been able to declare for the NFL Draft after a sophomore season in which he threw 32 touchdowns compared to only 6 interceptions, but Love unexpectedly had a dismal junior season, accounting for only 20 touchdowns and shockingly throwing 17 interceptions last year.
Despite Love’s dud as a junior, he’s still expected to land in the first round, and potentially be picked in the top 20 if the draft goes like it has historically, where teams get desperate to draft a quarterback as early as possible.
Colin says a player's fate as a successful NFL signal-caller has a lot more to do with landing point, then it does sheer talent, and says Love will most certainly be drafted to a much more talented and competent franchise than players like Burrow and Tagovailoa, who will likely get imprisoned with the miserable Bengals and rudderless Dolphins.
Check out the video above as Colin details why he’s betting that Love has the best NFL career of any quarterback in this draft.
