He actually did beat out Fromm and started the season for the Bulldogs. He got injured and never gained the job back, most likely do to the momentum that Fromm built while leading the team to the SEC Championship. Also a terrible barometer to judge someone, when the consensus #1 overall pick (Burrow) could not beat out two guys, that but most expert analyst, are not starting NFL QBs (Haskins and Barrett). Burrow was on the receiving end of misfortune and needed a change of scenery. I would definitely love to hear your opinion and supporting facts, not the lazy comment like the one you provided.
All his weaknesses are correctable under the right coach and mentors. He has the physical traits and mental toughness. He reads the field well and delivers an accurate ball. I would rather take him in the 2nd but unfortunately we don't have a 1st and he wont be available in the 3rd as someone mentioned.
