Tua time!
Only issue I really see with burrow is some scheme limitation in terms of ask relative to his average arm which may limit some route concepts etc but if you are drafting that kid you are gonna tailor your offense to play to his strengths and hide his weaknesses or you are gonna get fired.
it’s that simple.
And I think his ball placement in terms of the proper shoulder is overrated. Like I don’t see it being on tuas level to all fields at anywhere close to the same level. Keeping in mind tuas ball placement to all fields and tight windows is probably the best I’ve ever seen at the college level.
But when I watched lsu play Georgia this year can’t remember if it was the sec champ game or regular season I saw two QBs whose arm strength resulted in underthrows on verticals. Guys who lacked the arm talent to just grip it and rip it be it down tbe seam or outside the numbers. It was my takeaway and I saw burrow to some extent bailed out by guys so open the throws hitting the back shoulder didn’t matter.
fromm threw a couple balls down the seam and I was like tbat balls 2 yards short and it’s cause he doesn’t have the arm or gifts to offset any off platform vertical throw. He sees it and wants it he just can’t execute it physically imo.
he’s just a very average athlete with a very average arm. Mind wants to do what the tools can’t.
