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.

Think a lot of concerns stem from the level of competition.

Burrow put up ridiculous numbers while beating #2 Clemson, #4 Georgia, #6 Florida, #7 Oklahoma, #8 Alabama, #14 Auburn, and #25 Texas while going 15-0 and winning a National Championship…

Pickett beat up on a horrible ACC…

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.

Level of competition, success, accolades, hand size.... other than that a lot of similarities

His insistence on wearing 2 gloves scare the hell out of me for some reason

Understandable considering David Carr and Teddy. His hand size is going to be overblown during the whole pre-draft process but it's still a concern.

People that criticize Pickett need to be consistent and not criticize Rhule over his arm length comments.

The only QB I would take in the first round, is the one mobile enough not to get killed behind this line. Malik Willis.

He has the most potential, but needs the most work. I’m afraid our staff would ruin him…

I love people just ignoring hand size.  It is a measured trait for QBs because it does matter.  Pickett is not really proven though.  One good year against ACC defenses is not proven.  Where was he the last 2 years?  Big red flags for me.
