Burrow or Lawrence?

Unpossible. He isn’t as good as what Nebraska’s got. Fact.
System does matter and Brady is really good.
That said Burrow has been playing on another level this season and last night was an example.
Good QBs hit open receivers, Burrow needs his receivers to be less open, he not only gets the ball there but hits smaller windows. When a receiver has more space Burrow hits them in the spot that sets them up for more yards after the catch. This is something that some starting NFL QBs don't do.
It also looks like he processes and reads faster than most QBs. It looked like he was going to a lot of secondary receivers last night. Burrow looks to be very pro ready.
Lawrence is very talented as well but wasn't as sharp. He missed some passes that he normally hits but he isn't as precise as Burrow is.
Can't see many NFL teams turning down the opportunity to have either one of them though. With guys like Brady, Brees, Rodgers getting near the end of their careers last night may have been a demonstration of the next generation of elite QBs
It's also the first time Lawrence has lost a game in like forever, Clemson normally isn't 2 scores down.

First college loss wasn’t it? Wasn’t he like 29 or 30-0?
He has now played in 29 college games, starting 25.
Lawrence had also won 41 straight HS games before losing in the playoffs his senior year.

That’s a lot of winning.

Best qb prospect in the last 20 years...
Good evaluation.
Also is a guy who is mobile enough to protect himself, mobile enough to be a threat and demand some attention, but not a guy who relies on running the ball to set up his passing game.
The game is changing and the age of having a statue in the pocket is gone. With the spreads in college linemen don't learn how to pass block for 5 seconds at a time and with the athletes now rushing the passer that wouldn't be practical.
One response to this is the current crop of running QBs like Jackson and Watson who are counted on to gain yardage passing and running but I don't know how long they will last.
Burrow can evade the rush, he can run the QB draw in red zone, he can even take a wide run to the sidelines if needed. He isn't going to be a guy who has to have 5+ carries a game to be effective so he isn't going to take those hits. It is reasonable to expect him to be effective for many years in the future.
So basically he's lost twice since middle school? Holy ****, that's a lot of winning.

His winning is similar to my dating history. Except the opposite, I was more like 2-70.
