Burrow vs. Tagovailoa

Postby Edgy68 » Sat Feb 15, 2020 2:57 pm

With these being the consensus top QBs in this draft, who goes 1.01 in a superflex and why?

Burrow impressed me throughout the year with his decision making, especially under pressure. His ability to extend plays with his legs or run when he had the chance was evident also. Add that he’s a more ideal height at QB and doesn’t have the injury history puts him over Tua as of now.

Burrow for all the reasons you stated. Can't ignore the season he had and how he did it. Beating 7 top 10 teams, and some really good D's along the way with some monster games, including the title game.

Burrow is definitely the safer choice. I think Tua is going to end up being either really good, maybe similar to a Russell Wilson or he will be a total bust, jmo.

Gotta be Burrow if only because of the injury risk right now with Tua.

Tua is safe in terms of talent.

His injuries are a definite red flag however

Burrow for saftey, Tua for upside. I play in a couple SF leagues & wouldn't take either at 1.01 even in the SF format. It will surely depend on landing spot, but I just can't see myself passing on all of Jeudy, Lamb, Swift, Taylor and Dobbins. At least 1 or 2 or 3 will land in plumb situations. Not that I have the 1.01 anywhere, but I do have the 1.02 and 1.04 in SF leagues.

Right. Disregard that the two best QB prospects since Andrew Luck are coming out... Best SF advice I've seen on here in awhile.

I like Burrow better but don't think that height matters.
Not all that counts can be counted. Not all that can be counted counts.

In full ppr this past season Mike Evans and Hopkins averaged 18 ppg, and Dak and Stafford averaged 20 ppg. Now you have to factor in QB scarcity in SF, it's not even close who should be picked.

This is a galaxy-brained take, as if “owning early picks in a good class” makes you bad at the format? Yikes.

I think that the risk we’re not considering with Burrow is that he really wasn’t any good until his age 23 season and lost a job to Dwayne Haskins. He could still absolutely be great, but I think it’s worth considering their entire collegiate careers. I do think that Tua's floor is lower given the injuries.

I don't think that comment was ment to imply he isnt good at the format. Rather that if he ranks Swift, Juedy or whoever over Burrow and is picking at 1.02 he should be letting everyone take Burrow at 1.01 instead of convincing them not to.

Huh. I read it completely the opposite way. I see what you’re saying. Maybe I interpreted it wrong.

Really sucks having the 1.01, 1.02, 1.04 and 1.07 in the first round of a SF best ball this year. :lol:
